ROC events function as qualifiers to the National Championships Division I-A, Division II and Veteran Categories, and may qualify fencers to other events, depending upon classification and status. The USFA Athlete Handbook contains detailed information on qualifying pathways and should be consulted as the appropriate reference document.

ROC tournaments are open to current USFA competitive members eligible to fence in Open competitions and to foreign fencers with current FIE licenses; however, foreign fencers are not eligible to compete in USA Fencing National Championship events. An athlete can fence at any ROC and may earn points at any ROC. Regional points are awarded to 40% of the competitive field. In the event that a foreign fencer finishes within the qualifying group, the foreign fencer will be skipped.

Cadet & Junior July Challenge
