Qualifying for Y-14 Summer Nationals

If you did not qualify for the Summer Nationals Y-14 events at our division's recent qualifier, there is still another chance. You can go to a Super Youth Circuit event and do well enough to earn points. The top 40% earn points and thus a qualifying path to the Y-14 Summer nationals. The maximum number of fencers that can earn points is 32.

Excerpt from the Athlete's Handbook:
