Stomped Heart 2003 Information

The University of Mississippi, and Oxford Fencing Clubs are proud to co-host "Stomped Heart", a foil, epee, and saber competition in Oxford, MS on February 22, 2003. This competitions is open to all fencers. The registration form is available here.

The schedule is as follows. The venue has changed (see below).

Saturday February 22, 2003

  • 8AM registration and check-in; registration closes 15 min. before each event start
  • 9AM Open Saber
  • 11 AM Open Epee
  • 12 noon Novice Foil
  • 2:30 PM Open Foil

A novice is any unranked fencer with less than one year of fencing experience (cumulative).

Fees

First weapon $15, each additional weapon $5. Fencers may enter open, and novice foil for $15. Fencers ranked "C" and above fence that weapon free. Anyone who is rated by the FOC as a referee will receive lunch and a free registration for refereeing, even if they also compete in the same event they referee in. It is our hope that this will be a fun, casual, efficiently run competition. The chances are good that we will make a C1 competition in open foil and perhaps also in open epee.

THE VENUE HAS CHANGED

The venue is the Oxford Park Commission Activity Center on Price street in Oxford, MS. From the Hwy 6 bypass in Oxford take the down town exit (South Lamar Blvd.), turn north, in about 3/4 mile you will come to the Oxford square, go around the square to the north west corner and continue west on Jackson Ave. Go through one traffic light and then turn right on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. Follow this road until it ends, about 3/4 mile, and turn left on price street. The large metal building on the left just past the tennis courts is the Oxford Activity Center.

Accomodations

The Days Inn in Oxford is recommended for overnight accommodations (1-800-329-7466). They have rooms with two double beds for about $50/night. To get to the Days Inn, from the Hwy 6 bypass in Oxford take the Downtown/Lamar Ave. exit, turn south and immediately turn right onto Frontage road. The Days Inn is directly ahead. There is a high school basketball tournament on the Ole Miss campus that weekend so motel rooms may be in short supply. Make your reservations early.

If you can bring a set of scoring equipment please do so.

Hoping you can make it to Oxford on the 22nd.
