Event Registrations
Over time the event registration system will be linked to your user accounts, this makes the event entry process easier for everyone. This does means that you'll need an account in order to sign up for events. This is not yet the case, but be prepared for it mid March or early April

Rule Changes 2014
FIE Rule Changes 2014:
Important aspects to note:
1: Passing now occurs when one fencer moves completely past the other, not while they are side by side
2: Corps a corpse is now standard across all weapons, halt but no card for simple contact but yellow cards for jostling.
3: Beat attack clarified, if the attack beats the lower third of the blade it is considered a parry
4: Insulting or threatening an official is an immediate black card
5: Immediate black card for all anti-sporting gestures (for example, thrown masks or other equipment)
