A Note From The Selectors: 

All fencers who wish to enter the Junior Challenge teams event will need to work with each other to create their own teams.  We know this is new to most of you and I am sure that coaches will help you with this process.
We would prefer to see three person teams to facilitate everyone getting a fair chance to be observed fencing in a team format. If you are unsure who else is attending, or you want to fence but aren't in a team please enter and then register with DT, we will ensure that you are allocated to a team.
Each individual fencer will need to enter via revolutionise as for the individual event, and the entry fee is $30 per person.
Entries for teams needs to be submitted to the DT at the venue by 3pm on the 27th of April. 

A form to put your team entries on will be available at the venue to fill out and hand back in to the DT.

Once the selectors have reviewed the teams and know the number of entries for each weapon/gender then a format for each event will be specified.  The initial matches for each weapon/gender will be set up and announced.
