More Info
The Regional Open Circuit (ROC) is designed to promote and develop strong regional tournaments for the Open/Division I-A fencer who seeks competitive opportunities beyond the local and sectional level but below the NAC Division I level.

Points are awarded to the top 32 places at ROC events, however, the ROC points list is separate from the National Rolling Points List. Only your best 3 results will count toward the ROC point standings (Foreign fencers may compete though they are not counted as part of the field for qualification purposes as they can not fence summer nationals)

Division 1A Qualifying info:
Those who are on the current season’s Division I-A Regional Open Circuit point standings at the regular fee entry deadline for Nationals with at least 685 points will qualify for DIV 1A at nationals. Top 8 of the Div 2 ROC points will also qualify for 2015 Div 2 National Championships. Fencers who qualify for Div2 and meet classification requirements for Div3 will also qualify for Div3. Foreign fencers with current FIE license can participate but foreign fencers are not eligible to compete in USFA national championships, therefore foreign fencers finishing within the qualifying group will be skipped and the next highest finishing eligible domestic fencers will qualify. Auto qualifiers will be skipped and the next highest finishing eligible fencer will qualify.

Division 2 Qualifying info:
Those who are on the current season’s Division 2 Regional Open Circuit point standings at the regular fee entry deadline for Nationals with at least 685 points will qualify for DIV 1A at nationals. Top 8 of the Div 2 ROC points will also qualify for 2015 Div 2 National Championships. Furthermore, Fencers who finish in the top 10% of this Div 2 event will also qualify for Div 2 at nationals (if they meet classification requirements for Div3, they will also qualify for Div3). Foreign fencers with current FIE license can participate but foreign fencers are not eligible to compete in USFA national championships, therefore foreign fencers finishing within the qualifying group will be skipped and the next highest finishing eligible domestic fencers will qualify. Auto qualifiers will be skipped and the next highest finishing eligible fencer will qualify.

Veteran Qualifying info:
Fence in any Vet event while meeting the age requirements and you will qualify for national championships.
