CSC #2 (Cadet/Junior) and CSC #1 (Senior) - January 28-30, 2011

Hi folks,

The CSC #2 (cadet/junior) and CSC #1 (senior) is coming to BC (Richmond Oval - 6111 River Road, Richmond, BC) from January 28-30, 2011.

The CFF has just released the
qualification list for the CSCs. You can check if you qualify to compete in the CSCs. According to the revised selection criteria, they are now allowing everyone with a CFF senior ranking (any ranking) to be eligible to compete in the CSCs. You don't need to be top 64 in Canada to be qualified anymore.

They also posted up the
qualification criteria for 2011-11 CSCs/Nationals.
http://www.fencing.ca/policies/athletes/2010-2011-Selection_Circuit_Selection_Criteria-eng.pdf

If you wish to compete in the CSCs in January, you
must make sure you are in the qualification list - they will not offer any refunds if you register for the CSCs and are NOT qualified to compete in that competition. Then, you must submit the entry form online and pay the necessary entry fees. The first registration deadline is January 14, 2011, at 9:00 pm PST. After that, the fees will be tripled (late penalty fee).

For more information including where to fill in the entry form, please go here: http://www.fencing.ca/competitions/2011jan_csc_info_eng.htm

Note that for senior events, it is
mandatory that you have a FIE jacket and breeches meeting the FIE standards of 800 N or better. You also need a FIE sous plastron and FIE mask. We will be doing a term 2 club order and will send in the order in the beginning of January so that it arrives well before January 28th. If you want to compete in the CSCs but do not own any FIE equipment, please talk to us as soon as possible and we can arrange to send in the club equipment order so that you receive your FIE equipment on time.

We will also email you (privately via email) the details on which building and room the party will take place in.

HSS and RDT results

Hi folks,

We've been getting a number of questions and concerns regarding the HSS and RDT rankings on the CFF website. We just wanted to clarify with you that the results have already been sent last month, and will be up on the domestic rankings soon. The CFF will be importing both of the tournament results, sorry for the inconvenience! They told us that the results files were misplaced hence why it was not imported into the rankings system...but they'll fix it soon! Please be patient! :/

Kind regards,
UBC Fencing Club

Tron movie social - December 22, 2010

Hi everyone,

Looks like we will be having a movie social on Wednesday, December 22, 2010.

We're going to watch the movie Tron: Legacy 3D.
Here's a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4RiUy23e9s&feature=channel

We will opt for the afternoon showing since the movie will be released on December 17th and I figure it will be fairly packed in the evening showings.

We will go for the 4:00 pm showing. We'll meet at the entrance at 3:00 pm to buy tickets. That way, you'll have time to also go to the washroom or buy popcorn/snacks.

We will watch it in the Scotiabank Theatre (900 Burrard Street - near Robson & Burrard St.) in downtown Vancouver.

We are also selling Cinplex Odeon movie coupons for $9 each. If you are interested in buying them, let me know.

If you would like to join us for the movie social, please RSVP by Tuesday, December 21 at 10:00 pm so I have a good idea of who will be coming.

We will go out for dinner afterward so if you would like to join us, let me know.

2010-2011 club clothing order

We are now taking in orders for the club clothing. We will be taking in orders now until Monday, December 20, 2010. That week and a half should give you all enough time to decide if you want to order any clothing.

If you are interested in ordering anything, please email us and give us detailed information like:

1. Your first and last name
2. Email address
3. Which type of clothing you want (t-shirt, zip hooded sweatshirt or sweatpants)
4. Quantity
5. Size
6. Colour of clothing (e.g. "navy/tech white" t-shirt, "Irish green" zip hooded sweatshirt)

You will need to pay a non-refundable $20 deposit by Monday, December 20, during fencing practice. The earlier, the better. We wouldn't want you to order something and then change your mind later, and make the club pay for the clothing! If you are not able to drop by to pay the deposit by the deadline, no worries. Please speak with us and we'll work something out.

Note that there is a sizing chart on the Sanmar website - if you click on "Download Specs". There is also a sizing chart on the Stormtech website if you click on "Sizing Information".
