Do you have the right membership?
Competitive memberships are needed to register for all regional and national events. If you currently have an Access membership, you will need to upgrade to a competitive membership in order to register for any regional tournament. You can upgrade your membership by:
- Logging into your USA Fencing membership profile
- Clicking the user icon in the upper right hand corner
- Click "My Membership"
- Click "Upgrade Membership" and follow the prompt
Have you been age verified?
All fencers need to be age verified to register for regional tournaments. If you not age verified you will not be able to register until your document has been approved. For instructions on how to get age verified, please click here: Age Verification
Are you age eligible to compete for the event?
Age eligibility for regional tournaments is determined by the year the fencer was born. To see the current age categories click here: Age Eligibility
To be eligible to compete, your birth year must falls within the age bracket you are trying to register for OR ---
If you are currently, as of the entry deadline for that tournament, listed in a National age group point standing, you may enter the next older age category of competition, even if you are younger than allowed by the age bracket.
If you are younger than the age bracket but on the National Points list for the age category below what you are trying to register for, you may still not be able to register. Our Cadet and Junior national points lists are updated manually and not currently integrated into our tournament registration system like the youth points list. If this is the case, you can reach out to regionalevents@usafencing.org OR the regional tournament organizer and they will be able to manually register you for the event.
Still can't register?
If you are compliant with the three categories listed above and still can't register, reach out to regionalevents@usafencing.org and explain your issue. Please include your name, membership id number, the tournament you are trying to register for, and the event(s) you are trying to register for.
