Fees:

Fencers must pay the administration fee, plus event fees for each event they are entering.

• $20 administration fee (all individual registrants pay this once; admin fee is doubled for late registrants)
• $25 sanctioned event fee (Cadet, Junior, and Senior individual events - eligible for CFF points)
• $15 unsanctioned event fee (Y12, Y14, Veteran, Novice events)
• $30 per team

Example: if a fencer is entering Y14 and Cadet, they pay $20 admin fee + $15 Y14 event fee + $25 cadet event fee = $60.

Fees are payable at check-in.
