REFEREES

In order to run the competition, each institution will be required to supply entrants or volunteers from the club to undertake some refereeing, these individuals will need to check in with the regional competitions coordinator before the poules. These referees may be experienced members of the club or coaches, but can also be competitors themselves while in their poule fencing.

Volunteers will be on-site to guide and shadow all poules, and ensure the competition runs smoothly. British Fencing may provide opportunities in conjunction with these events to upskill students on their knowledge of refereeing. f you are interested in fencing refereeing opportunities past the event get in contact with British fencing.
