Call for Expressions of Interest - Athletes
Fencing Victoria (FV) is calling for expressions of interest from School Teams for selection to represent Victoria, and their School, at the 2013 Australian School Team Championships. Expressions of Interest to be received by Tuesday 2nd July.
The AFC School Teams Championships offers the opportunity for the best school teams from across the country to compete against each other in a National competition.
Competition Format
Each State is permitted to enter two teams of three or four fencers for automatic qualification into each event (the host state can enter three teams). In addition, states may be able to enter additional teams if there are empty places in the draw.
Each match will be fenced to 45 hits in relay format. With the larger number of possible teams, every effort will be made to maintain the round robin concept from previous years, but the specific format of the competition will be determined by the Tournament Management Commission and Tournament organisers once the number of entries is finalised.
Equipment Requirements
FIE Standard blades are required and must be in good safe condition. FIE Standard equipment (masks and protective clothing) is recommended for all competitors. However, the minimum requirement is 1600N for masks, 800N for underplastrons (required), and 350N for jackets and breeches. For School events, the AFF does not require fencers to use conductive bibs in Foil. Fencers will need to present masks, weapons, wires and lames to Weapons Control before the event, and weapons will be subject to testing on the strip as in other AFF competitions.
