Scott got his fencing season off to a great start at the Kickoff Open last weekend! Out of nearly 100 foilists, he finished 14th and in epee, he came within an ace of getting his A, finishing 11th out of over ninety. But hey, renewing a B at the first event of the season isn't anything to sneeze at! Way to go, Scott! (Full results are here.)
Want to preregister for the Ultimate E and Under but aren't sure how? It's easy! Just click here to go to the tournament's preregistration page. Then enter your last name in the box that says, well, 'Enter Your Last Name.' It will either reply, 'Sorry, No Fencers Found' or give you a 'Choose yourself' pull-down list if it finds names similar to yours. Either way, if you're not already in the system (and you won't be if this is your first time preregistering for a tournament), click on the 'Create a New Fencer Record' option. Follow the instructions to fill in your information on the next screen and that's pretty much it! (At the bottom of the screen, you'll have the option to create an account on AskFRED. Doing so makes future preregistrations even easier but not doing so won't cause any problems either.)
I've also been asked about checking or changing your club affiliation on your USFA membership. To check your affiliation, log into your USFA account and your club will be listed top and center on the screen. If no club is listed or the club is incorrect, you can't change it yourself. But send an email to Dana Brown at the National Office asking her to update your information for you and you're good to go!
