Fencing: Mid Atlantic RYC 2007
The Downtown Fencing Club is hosting this years Mid Atlantic Regional Youth Circuit fencing tournament. As I am the one behind the desk at the computer running the event, you get first hand play by play fencing blogging action.
Our first event was Y10 saber "Y10" means that the fencers are ten years old or less. Our fencer, took second, and as I am the solo saber coach for our club right now, that makes me pretty happy.
The second event (In progress), is the Y14 Saber. We have no fencers in this age group. However over all this is a touch competition. In this state, we have some very strong young saberist. The finals was fenced between a "C" and a "D" rated fencer. Ratings are no easy thing and it starts with "E" and goes up to "A".
The other event going on right this second is Y10 epee. All of the fencers in this event are from our club! Needless to say, no matter how it turns out, our club rocks. :)
After lunch we will have Y12 Foil and Y14 Epee. Both will be strong events with great fencers. In case you are interested, we are on the UNCG Campus in the Health and Human Performance building (HHP) in Room 247 known as The Coleman Research Gym. Things are on schedule, so we should be finished by 5pm.
Tomorrow things pick up again at 8am and again I suspect baring great chaos and anarchy, we'll be finished by 5pm.
Y'all come!
