We often end up hosting a meet for either MACFA or BWCFC each season. This article outlines what preparations are necessary to host a meet.

Contents

Format

In generally, we fence dual meets in a 2.5-strip format, which means that two sabre matches share a single strip, while each foil or epee match has its own strip.

Strips

The number of matches is half the number of teams (rounded down), and using the 2.5-strip format, the number of strips needed is 2.5 times the number of matches, rounded up. The Volleyball Gym can hold about 14 strips. Larger competitions generally must be held in the Reckord Armory.

Time

A dual meet usually takes about 60 minutes to fence on three strips and 75 minutes to fence on two strips.

Referees

When hiring referees, establish the amount of payment beforehand. If more than 8 referees are needed, consider hiring a head ref.

Number of referees

  • # epee refs = # matches
  • # foil refs = # matches
  • # sabre refs = half of # matches, rounded up

Other personnel

Equipment

Under the 2.5-strip format, every attending team should be asked to bring two strips.
