So here we are in day two, the turnout is the same today as it was yesterday. The plus side is we can be much more relaxed with how we run the event so everyone can have a good time without killing themselves to fence three events in a single day. Moral is good, and I haven't been outdoors since Friday night. I hear it is cold outside. The hallway is cold. The bathroom is freezing. The last time I saw my breath while peeing was when I was living in 30 foot long 12 foot wide trailer in Summerfield. The intertherm kerosene furnace circa 1962 was down and there was a good deal of snow on the ground. I can't rememeber the year exactly, but it was between 1992 and 1999.

Wait, this was about fencing.

Men's Saber Results
We had some excitement in Saber, Chris Poulos had an UNBROKEN saber blade accidentally pierce a nearly new condition $60.00 PBT saber glove causing pain, bleeding, the need for a tetinus shot, and possibly stitches. This injury caused him to have to withdraw from the event on a medical.
Meanwhile the event continues.

Overall the event, though not a monitary success (we hope we can get bailed out) was a HUGE success giving our fencers valuable tournament experience, and improving the reputation of our club as a place that host exellently run tournaments. Two out of three isn't bad at all!

Lessons Learned: Make the veteran's tournament combined, not separate, and maybe do it in a milder season, so the northern crowd isn't worried about snow.
