7/1 - 10 Sacramento, CA; USFA; SUMMER NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Tournaments in BOLD are confirmed dates and places. Tournaments underlined are confirmed dates and places of national tournaments. All other dates are pending confirmation by the regional coordinator and/or the local organizer.

NOTES: Sept. 1, 2004 -Preferred format is one or two rounds of pools with 100% promoted to a direct elimination ladder of 2 of 3 5-touch bouts. The proposal to the Board of Directors at the Oct. 2 meeting will be that points are awarded at RYC and up to two RYC results would be included in the national point standings for Y10, Y12, and Y14.

Points are awarded to top 40% of the competitive field, regardless of where the cut occurs, with no rounding, using the National point tables for Youth 10, Youth 12, or Youth 14 as appropriate.

For the Summer Nationals Y10 and Y12 competitions, athletes would have had to compete in at least two RYC competitions or one RYC and one NAC Youth in the current season in the age category and weapon in which the athlete plans to enter. For the NAC Youth in April 2005, any athlete meeting the age eligibility requirements may enter the NAC provided the athlete is a current competitive member. For the Y14 National Championships at the Summer Nationals, Y14 fencers MUST either be on the Y14 National point standings on May 1, 2005 or place in the top 25% of their Division's Y14 qualifying competition.
