As a result of the recent FIE Congress decisions please note there have been two rule changes in relation to minimum ages for Senior and Junior Events.
New British Fencing Rule
From 1st January 2018, fencers must be at least 13 on the day of the event to compete in a junior or senior competition in the UK.
The BF website has been updated accordingly and the relevant page can be found here.
New FIE rule o.29 (previously o.55)
With effect from the 2018/19 season, fencers must have reached their 13th birthday before they may apply for an FIE licence.
