PLANNING & CODE OF CONDUCT

FOR COMPETITIONS:

We have had a lot of new people starting to do State/National competitions. Here are some very important practices & guidelines which you should try to follow:

1. Organize, check & pack your equipment THE NIGHT BEFORE COMPETITION

2. Plan travel arrangement so you arrive 1- 2 HOURS before roll call, to do registration, proper warm up, NOT AT ROLL CALL TIME

3. If you are running late, contact another fencer etc. to inform DT of your arrival to competition

4. TEAM EVENTS – If you are unable to fence in a team event for which you have been selected, please contact Team Captain or team member ASAP, so alternative arrangements can be organized

5. WARM UP / STRETCH & WARM DOWN, DRINK PLENTY OF FLIUDS & bring
snacks

6. For NSWFA & AFF events you can now do online registration (see above)

7. Train, prepare & have fun!!
