To Qualify

Teams

Any school sponsoring an interscholastic team will be permitted to enter Districts, provided the provisions

of Rule 2, Section 18 of the NJSIAA Constitution and Bylaws are met.

Individuals Independent fencers from schools which do not compete on an interscholastic basis are eligible to enter

provided they can document their fencing experience. All individual fencers must report to the designated

site on Saturday, February 1, 2014, for a qualifying competition. See Qualifying Process of Independent

Fencers for more information.

Coaches

Only one (1) Board-approved coach for each squad will be credentialed.

Advisory

Schools not presently competing on an interscholastic basis, but entering individuals, are advised to read

carefully the Procedures – “Coaches” Appointed to Accompany Teams or Individuals to NJSIAA

Championships in the NJSIAA Handbook. Tournament Directors will disqualify any contestant who is

accompanied by someone in a coaching capacity who is not properly certified and appointed by the Board

of Education. A properly appointed coach will thereafter be subject to the Rules and Regulation -- Rule 2,

Section 11 – Out-of-Season Practice. If a substitute coach is used, written authority from the school’s

Principal must be presented.

General NJSIAA Rules

Rules

The Unites States Fencing Association (USFA) Rules, with NJSIAA modifications, shall govern all

NJSIAA meets and tournaments.

Start of Practice Monday after Thanksgiving

Start of the Regular Competitive Season

Friday before the third Saturday of December

End of Season (from Rule 2, Section 10)

All teams may participate in interscholastic contests until the final championship in their respective sports.

Individual competition shall terminate with the end of said competition.

Disqualification Participation by an ineligible participant in any meet during the regular season results in forfeiture of those

points achieved by the individual participant. If an ineligible participant participates in a tournament, said

participant will be disqualified from the tournament immediately and the next finisher will advance in

his/her place; schools eliminated prior to the last opponent will not re-enter tournament competition.

SPORTSMANSHIP POLICY DEALING WITH BIAS INCIDENTS

Any person (athletic department, staff member, student-athlete, or a fan or spectator associated with a member school) who engages in any verbal, written, or physical conduct related to race, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or religion shall not be tolerated, could subject the violator to ejection, and may result in penalties assessed against your team. In addition reports of such violations will be forwarded to the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights.

2015 NJSIAA/BOLLINGER MENS AND WOMENS FENCING CHAMPIONSHIPS

NJSIAA Fencing Tournament Regulations 1. A school which arrives after the close of check-in will be disqualified from the competition immediately,

unless the Tournament Director has been notified. Fencing will begin within thirty (30) minutes of the

close of check-in.

2. All bouts will be fenced with electrical equipment. Each mens team and each womens team must bring a

complete set of working electrical scoring equipment, including a 50’ extension multiple tap extension

cord, weights, shims, and a stopwatch for each foil and epee squad. It is the responsibility of the team

coach to obtain or borrow said equipment. All equipment must be clearly labeled with the school’s name.

Any school failing to provide functioning scoring equipment may be disqualified at the Tournament

Director’s discretion if the circumstances present a delay in conducting the tournament in a smooth and

efficient manner.

3. The failure of a foil or epee squad to be able to provide the appropriate weight, shims, and stopwatch will

result in a squad yellow card. Any subsequent issuing of a yellow card to an individual fencer will result in

a red card against that fencer.

4. Each fencer must have at least two (2) working electrical weapons and two (2) working body cords with

him/her at each bout.

5. Fencers should only fence in their pools (e.g. “A” strip, “B” strip, or “C” strip). No credit will be given for

bouts fenced on the wrong strip. Fencing on the wrong strip will result in a 0-0 defeat for the offending

fencer. Any subsequent violation will result in that squad’s elimination from the tournament, and the

subsequent loss of any win-loss records for both the squad and its individual members. The bout order will

be fenced C-C, B-B, A-A.

6. Any number of substitutes may be used. Substitutions will be permitted at all levels. Substitutions must

be reported directly on the strip. The substitute shall remain in the reported position until such change has

been made. Substitutes and fencers may not change levels (i.e. strips) once they have competed on a given

strip, but may re-enter. In the event of a fencer withdrawing because of a certified injury, the line-up may

be changed by moving fencers to the next higher strip. This can only be done between relays,

7. All team and individuals entering a tournament must be accompanied by their coaches or certified faculty

members from their schools who are directly responsible for them. Coaches must check-in their fencers

and be present for the entire competition. 8. Team qualifiers to the NJSIAA “Sweet 16” Team Tournament will be the top four (4) overall team

finishers from each of the District Qualifying Tournaments. Squad qualifiers to the NJSIAA Squad State

Tournament will be the top four (4) squads in each weapon from each of the District Qualifying

Tournaments. Individual qualifiers to the NJSIAA State Individual Tournament will be the top five (5)

individuals in each of the weapons’ individual qualifying rounds which will consist of a round-robin pool

of the top five (5) “A” strip fencers, the top three (3) “B” strip fencers, and the top “C” strip fencer in each

weapon.

9. The NJSIAA will impose a late fee if an entry form is received after the published due date or is sent to the

wrong address.

10. In the NJSIAA “Sweet 16” Team Tournament, all twenty-seven (27) bouts will be fenced.

11. Only one (1) Board-certified coach for each squad will be credentialed.

IF YOU CANNOT COMPLY – DO NOT ENTER

Timing 1. Each bout will be USFA regulation time.

2. If time expires with a tie score, the tie will be broken according to the USFA priority rule.

a. Priority will be assigned randomly

b. There will be one (1) additional minute of fencing time

c. If no touch is scored during the one (1) minute fencing time, the fencer with the assigned priority

will be declared the winner; the score will remain unchanged.

Scoring The final standings of the regular competition will be computed on a basis of totaling the win-loss records

for the tournament, including pool and direct-elimination bouts. ALL DISTRICTS WILL USE THE

SAME COMPUTER SCORING PROGRAM.

Withdrawal Any school or contestant who fails to appear for the State Championship after having qualified in the

District championships will be subject to any penalties as enforced by the NJSIAA and barred from

participation in the Fencing Championships, at all levels (i.e. the District and State Championships) the

following year unless extraordinary circumstances caused such unforeseen withdrawal. A fencer and /or

his team who opts to participate in national, regional, or non-NJSIAA competition in conflict with the

NJSIAA championships, including postponements, is subject to this penalty.

Officiating

No person who is directly or indirectly associated with a school should act as an official in the same bout in

which a participant from the school is competing.

Athletic Emergency procedures

A trainer will be in attendance and an ambulance on-call for all Championships.

1. Each school participating in a tournament will provide for the care and treatment of its athletes within the

school’s policy as in effect during the regular season. When games are scheduled at pre-determined sites,

schools should not assume that the home school trainer will be available, and should therefore, prepare for

the care of their athletes. NJSIAA may assign athletic trainers for state final events to assist with

emergency situations.

2. The athletic emergency procedure of the host school will be in effect during the tournament which should

include the establishment of a line of communication for emergent situations.

NJSIAA Infectious Disease Policy

The infectious Disease Policy provides that if an individual gets someone else’s blood on his skin,

protective gloves should be worn to wipe the blood off with a disposable towel using soap and water.

Note: If any blood gets on an opponent’s uniform during competition or a teammate’s uniform during

practice, it is not necessary to clean the uniform at that point unless the opponent or teammate has an open

cut or un-skinned area, or the blood is on a part of the

uniform which might come in contact with mucous membranes. If the student-athlete does have an open

cut or un-skinned area or believes the blood might come in contact with mucous membranes, then the

uniform should be wiped with soap and water.
