Competition Schedules for 2025-2026

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR COACH PRIOR TO MAKING ANY ARRANGEMENTS TO ATTEND A TOURNAMENT

Find below a list of selected local, regional, and national tournaments suggested by the Capital Fencing Academy’s coaches for the upcoming season. For those of you unsure of what level your fencer should be fencing at in regard to tournaments, please take the list with you to discuss with your coach. He or she will be more than happy to help you figure out the best schedule for your fencer.

A few notes:

For regional points, we are in Region 6.
For age categories and classifications for different events, USA Fencing regulations govern these. Please see this website for information on age and other classifications: https://www.usafencing.org/age-classification-eligibility
For more information on regional and national points, see a USA Fencing FAQ on the subject: https://www.usafencing.org/point-standings-faq
Finally, a good blog about the different levels of fencing competition: https://academyoffencingmasters.com/blog/comprehensive-guide-to-usa-fencing-tournaments/

We are more than happy to help you through the maze of national and regional point systems, and qualifying for events. Please just let us know your questions. There are a few dates in question.
