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 40% of 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 will qualify for DIV 1A at nationals.

Foreign fencers with current FIE license can participate but foreign fencers are not eligible to compete in USFA national championships.
