When it's time for the first event?

When to go to the first event depends on a lot - talk to the coach about when your child is ready and this tournament which will be good to start with! For some children it can be hard to come too early for the first event - at the risk of unnecessary failure. It must also have tried electric fencing at the club in Ryparken before you go to the first event. This must be arranged with the trainer.

Before the rally

• Be sure to sign up in time. Ask the trainer and / or watch the bulletin in Ryparken.
• Be sure to bring your own everything fencing gear - including the electrical. Besides t-shirt, shoes and socks these are a fencing jacket, fencing pants, glove, elvest, mesh, wire, electric foil. If you need anything, can be borrowed from the home last practice day before the regatta, and delivering it back washed the next training day.
• Sit as far as possible into the pool tables in the most common combat rules and the current shake-out rules (may vary slightly). Ask if any. other parents down at the club.

To rally

At the rally, one or more parents be present and ready to help you and show you to the right. So, are you well started ...

• Bring all gear, drinks (no soda), fruit and healthy snack as well as money for enrollment.
• Show up on time and be sure to register in enrollment immediately.
• Then go to arms control: equipment must be approved and labeled.
• Dress for warm up, (tis of!) And then wait ........
• There may be some waiting time. Even with the best planning is the coordination of available slope, referees, match results etc. difficult to predict. Rain therefore that a fencing tournament takes up most of the day.
• As a parent you can still feel a little left over for a rally. Some important tasks are:

• To listen for announcements of speakers.
• To instill fencers calm, even if you ignore a message or an error occurs in the settlement.
• Ensure that fencers are fresh, fed and dressed for battle.
• to fence sign on pool tables.

• If you are unsure about something, ask first one of relief parents - then one of them going around with a radio or walkie talkie - and then those who sit with match results ..

Good tone on the piste

These things are perhaps obvious, but for safety's sake ... ....

• Mon rooting for her own child without talking aggressively about their opponent.
• If the two fencers from Triangle fighting a battle, you take not party to any of them. The exception is when you rooting for her own child.
• It is intended only for the court in exceptional cases - in which case the child's behalf and with courtesy and respect.
