2.    No tracksuit pants may be worn. Breeches and long socks only.
3.    Weapons checks will be held.
4.    Any fencer on the piste must have access to 2 working weapons.
5.    THE COMPETITION WILL NOT BE DELAYED BY WAITING FOR FENCERS - IF A
FENCER IS NOT AT ROLL CALL THEY WILL BE EXCLUDED.
7.    Roll calls will be held at the given times regardless of competition progress.
8.    Fencers must be aware of doping regulations. Any fencer may be tested.
9.    Only Juniors and Cadets who qualify age-wise for the 2010 World Championships will be allowed to fence in the Junior events: i.e. only those juniors born after 1 January 1990, and those Cadets born after 1 January 1993. Juniors and Cadets must present proof of age (birth certificate or ID) to enter. Those who cannot do so, will not be allowed to enter.
10.    A specific competition will be cancelled if there are not more than 4 fencers. For example a Cadet competition will be cancelled if there is not more than 4 entries. The Cadet’s will then fence with the Juniors and the highest rank Cadet in the Junior competition will receive the Gold Medal.
