Fencing New Zealand has recently announced that the current international rule requiring the use of what is commonly referred to as 'double Velcro strapping' on all masks will be a requirement for all Fencing New Zealand run competitions from now on.  The first one of these being the President's Cup on 3/4 July in Christchurch.

More information about this requirement can be found in this publication put out by Fencing New Zealand:  https://www.fencing.org.nz/images/FeNZ_Masks_Weapon_Control__Competititon_Requirements_May_2021.pdf

You may also want to read the Leon Paul (equipment manufacturer) publication which addresses the background to this as well as explanation as to what the rules are for their 'contour' and 'tongue' masks. https://www.leonpaul.com/blog/fie-masks-update-faq/

Recognising that many may still have masks that do not meet this requirement, Fencing North has decided that this rule will not apply immediately to all Fencing North run competitions, but it will apply from 1 January 2022. 

Having said that, as this is a safety issue, you are strongly encouraged to comply this requirement before 2022.

It is possible to 'retro-fit' existing masks to meet this requirement. 

There are local suppliers for this retrofit service - Neil Young (Invictus Fencing) This email address is being protected from spambots.

Fencing North is looking for volunteer Tournament Controllers (DTs) to help us run our regional competitions. This is a vital role as part of our tournament team.

In this role, we would ask you to:

• Collate registrations and organise entrants into pools
• Set up/pack down the DT desk
• Check in fencers at the start of the day
• Print draw sheets for each round
• Collect results and enter them into the system
• Support the head DT by looking after a specific event (especially the foil events)
• Commit to attending most competitions (or trade off between several people)

Full training will be provided by our experienced tournament controllers. We think this would be a good position for parents or university fencers who want to get involved in our events and give back to the community. If you are interested, please contact Maja on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or visit the desk during a competition.

Fencing North is an entirely volunteer organisation - a handful of dedicated people giving their own time for the love of the sport. We really encourage you to consider what you can do to help, and spread the word to anyone who might be able to take on the role. 

After the success of the first schools tournament with a large number of entries, we now have the second tournament at this level.

This will be on 26 June 2021 at Trusts Arena, Henderson.

Please note that open tournaments are open to all levels of fencer.  We would like to see more school aged fencers participate.  We had, for example, 40 boys fence at the recent schools tournaments.  If you got into the top 16 of that tournament, you should feel that you are at a level to fence at the open events.  We want to see more entries at this tournament level.
