Competing in Australia

Entry to Australian National Tournaments is open to all fencers of the world.  International fencers must be a current member of their national federation which must be in good standing with the FIE. The AFF will need to confirm this as part of registration.

Any fencer under the age of 20 is required to provide proof of their Date of Birth before they will be able to compete in any Australian Tournament.

Where it is not immediately possible to confirm good standing with a home federation, the Tournament Management Commission must make inquiries. This may take some days to complete and a time delay should be allowed for when registering.

Teams competing at Australian events are representatives of their respective countries, not of individual clubs within that country.

Fencers should note the equipment requirements for Australian national events which may be different than those of other countries.

If a competitor requires a formal letter of invitation (as a result of their country's residency, passport or visa conditions), this should be requested at least six weeks prior to the relevant event, by email to  operations@ausfencing.org.
