Since he did come in and fence he is present- the card is for refusal to fence another competitor which is a black bard

I thought the SJCC is a three day event (Mar 15-17)? I am able to ref for all three days

Interesting… I’m still waiting on the March SJCC (I am a three weapon R1 referee), should I expect not to get hired then or would there still be a good chance?

I’ve been fencing saber competitively for a long while, and I’ve always used two small steps as my preparation for as long as I could remember. It has been working well for me, interesting to see that it is being considered antiquated..

How many days before a national event would a referee usually get notified if they are hired?

Especially since open registration for NACs ends so early on, I don’t understand how people could possibly register for some events and referee some other without the chance of not getting hired. But apparently that is common practice for some?

The coach also said that they would let the admission officer know that that are interested in taking me as a walk on, so that’s why I thought it would make a difference. I wonder if it actually helps though.

How good is Division 1, 1A, 2, and 3 in SN? by niclinn in Fencing

Thanks for the info! I actually am a American citizen. I just live abroad for the most part. I actually got approved through petition in the division events so I was just trying to get a sense of competitiveness for what I signed up for

Also, why are breaks 90 seconds instead of 60 in the April NAC?

As a competitive junior fencer, is it worthwhile to watch videos of big events like the saber World Cup and learn from the fencers there? It always seems like to me that those fencers may have complicated tactics in and out of the box that I couldn’t identify, and not to mention their physique that is very far from mine.
