Event Caps & Waitlists

Please note: There are event caps in place to provide a great experience for all attendees. Our 2026 tournament is large, and we encourage early registration to avoid any waitlists. Most waitlists, however, will clear, and we will continue to clear the waitlist as spots become available through the day of each event.

Please also note that due to projected event sizes and referee availability, our larger saber events may be double flighted in some instances. Epee and foil events will be single flights.

If you are on a waitlist, we will continue to process promotions as we receive withdrawals all the way up until the event starts. You can check your position status on this page and can withdraw yourself from the list here as well. We will also process same-day promotions based on those who check in at the registration desk no later than 30 minutes prior to the start of the event in the same order that those who check in appeared on the original waitlist.

Please contact boutbureau@gmail.com for referee opportunities that may be available.

  • Bout Committee Chairs: Brandon Rochelle and Maggie Dull

  • Head Referee: Mary Frye

  • Head Armorer: Doug Jones
