I received the following message from
Ray Parker
on 28 Feb 2000.
Folks,
Enclosed is the information regarding the TFA hosted RYC #3 of 1999-2000. I apologize for the
late information. Please note that
this tournament is being held on Saturday only. We also have a Y10 demonstration event (similar
to what was held in San Antonio).
We do not mind kids signing up for multiple events , however, we will only allow you the
mandated break between bouts fenced in the
same event. So, if you sign up for more than a single event and the events overlap you may be
asked to fence bouts in different
events back-to-back.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to send them my way.
Ray Parker
P.S. If a club would like to provide directors for a strip for the day (it may be multiple
people but in a sense you sign-up to run
the bouts on a given strip) then we will provide that club with 2 free entries to the tournament. Please let me know before hand if
you would like to do this. Thanks.
Please let me know before hand if
you would like to do this. Thanks.
