Invitation…

Plakát St. Maur

Dear friends,
you will find attached the regulation applicable to the 25 & 26 January 2014 Epee Veterans tournaments  in Saint-Maur (near Paris).

The following is to be noted:
- the attached regulation is both in English, as a brief resume, and in French which will prevail, if necessary,
- foreign fencers are welcome, without any fee registration. Last year, Moscow fencers participated in the individual competition, and won the team competition,
- priority through club teams in tableau A is given on Sunday team competition, with a new but already experienced formula. However some fencers,  after the Saturday individual competition, French or foreign, might want to participate on Sunday in non club teams, regional, or even national as there are some high level competitors who cannot form club teams, since isolated. All teams will compete first in poules, and then in A or B (or more) direct elimination tableau,

- Senior ladies are authorized to compete in the team competition (without any ranking limitation FFE or FIE). Last year team competition,  and our own Saint-Maur experience, between Senior ladies and Veterans was great and well appreciated by both. This year, very high level Senior Ladies teams (club or non club) might participate. Special prices will be awarded to ladies participating  in teams (part or only ladies), and also to father/daughter teams which was also appreciated last year (a great souvenir to be shared after the competition …).

More than 300 participants should attend, including  medallists at the recent 2014 Varna world championships.

Please circulate this invitation, come in Paris, test and taste !!!
See you in Saint-Maur?
