Times are close of registration, E.S.T. (Same time as Chicago). Events are open only to Indiana
Division members of USFA. (You may join at the venue.) This is a qualifying
event for the Summer Nationals; there are no alternate qualifiers. Therefore,
only those who intend to compete in the Summer National Championships
(Sacramento, CA July 3-11) should enter. You must meet USFA age requirements
to fence at this tournament.
*"C" & Under event: Open only to fencers rated "C" and below.
- Top 2 or 30% rounded up finishers qualify for the Division II Summer Nationals.
- All veteran competitors qualify for Veteran events at Summer Nationals
- All competitors rated "D" and below will qualify for Division III Summer Nationals.
- Fencers must be born 1987 or earlier, or be on the current Junior point list to compete.
- According to the USFA website, all fencers who are "C" and under, and who qualify for the U16 or U19 Individual National Championships (e.g., either via automatic qualification or through divisionals or sectionals) also qualify for Division II provided they meet the age restriction above.
- Fencers who qualify for Division II by any path also qualify for Division III provided they are "D" or under.
**Under 16: Open only to fencers who were born 1985 or later. Note that
according to the USFA, if you were born after 1988 you will have to have Y14
points to qualify to fence in the U16 event at Nationals even if you were to have
finished high enough to qualify in this tournament. Fencers on the Cadet point list automatically qualify.

according to the USFA, if you were born after 1989 you will have to have Y12

based on this tournament. Fencers on the Y14 list automatically qualify.
