Fencing South Australia

There are a whole bunch of rules within the organisation (and fencing as a whole, oh boy, have you seen the FIE technical manuals?) The main things you need to worry about are explained in detail in the AFF Codes of Conduct & the FSA Constitution (download below).

TL:DR

1. FencingSA reserves the right to change things in any way that we think are for the better (for fencing in SA).
2. Black cards are a thing. Avoid them. Even as a spectator. Read the dang rules.
3. Be excellent to each other.

Agree to this and we're good, lets go fencing.
