North Islands Feedback/Questions:
Competition jurisdiction for seeding and pool sizing (among other issues). FeNZ should give a ruling and notify which rule is applicable.
How many fencers is enough to run separate Championship events? Do we have a national standard for this?
Disorganisation at setup on Friday night. This needs to be much better organised.
Explore options for including some sort of setup jobs in the entry form for Aucklanders.
Fencing North would like to express their appreciation to Heather Claydon all her hard work at North Islands over the weekend.
Fencing North would like to express disappointment in numbers of fencers attending from other regions.
Catering at North Islands was fantastic. We’d like to thank Auckland High Performance Fencing for the effort they put into providing this.
Level of competition at the event was outstanding for Epee and Foil. Events were particularly top heavy in terms of most top ranked fencers competing.
Numbers in sabre were disappointing.
