Summer Nationals and Summer NAC's

Summer Nationals & Summer NAC's

As we move toward the summer, HoF has many events on the schedule and naturally Summer Nationals as well as Summer NAC. Summer Nationals and Summer North American Cup are basically the same thing. The USFA has decided not to call every event a Championship. This year the events are being held in Columbus Ohio, thus giving most of you a great chance to compete at a great tourney without cross country travel. I will try and explain the best I can.

These events are the Championships:

Div 2 C, D, E and Unrated fencers born before 1999

Div 3 D, E and Unrated fencers born before 1999

Youth 14

Veteran Events, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, over 70

The above events have LOCAL qualifying Dates & schedule on askFRED THE DATES ARE 4/20, 4/21 If you qualify for Div2 and are eligible for Div3 then you are an automatic qualifier for Div3. Div 1A is the last championships and you will had to have gone to a ROC (Regional Open Circuit) and gotten points.

Now on to the NAC

For some events you have to qualify by attending a SYC (Super Youth Circuit) or RYC (Regional), such as the Arnold games, if you have not and wish to go to Columbus you need to go to a RYC, or SYC. Y10, Y12, are those events in which you need to have gone to a RYC or SYC in that event. Upcoming RYC, SYC and ROC's can be found here For U16, U19 just sign up and more info. on all this here

Team events

There will be team events in the open, veteran and U19 age groups, if you want to be considered for a team or teams, HoF can field more then one team, please email me asap.

I hope this makes some sense. If you have any questions regarding your situation and the events you think you or your child should fence in, please email me.

Upcoming events at HoF

D and Under on May 11 , FFFFF on June 14th and our big IronKnight Day on June 16th.
