Mid week update

Things are moving a little bit as far as getting people signed up on askfred. The epee fencers are doing their job as they are just 2 people away from a B event.

The foilists are missing a couple of good opportunities.  Right now the open foil has only 9 fencers.  It has the exact 6 rated fencers it needs to become a B rated event.  If that happens, the top 8 people get ratings.  So some of the people who are only in the D and under should jump in  (Logan).  The D and under has 8 people and needs two more Es or better to be able to give out a D and and 3 Es if it gets to 15.  That makes both foil events a good time for a first tournament, good one to attend even if you are rusty, etc.  (Reaghan, Bobby, Nora, Emma. F., Galen, Dylan, and the list could go on.)

I need one more person to be on a team that would do the WHQR pledge drive for the 7 – 10 am Sunday morning slot, although a couple (so we have a spare) would be better.  The date is October 25th.

I forgot to mention all the events going on on the 24th.   The Tiger Open in Clemson is always a large 2 day event.  They do Open and D and under events.  Right now the open epee is an A2 and the D should end up as a C2.  The foil should end up as an A2 with D being a D event, and the sabres should be C and D events.

Charlotte is having Open and C and under epee events.  Durham is having regional Junior and Cadet sabre events.

Fredericksburg, VA is hosting a large Vet tournament.  The Foil is already a B, the epee could easily end up as a B, and the sabre needs bodies to get to a D. 

All of these are up on askfred.
