Welcome to first test event of NationStates Fencing.
Fencing, as you know, is a combat sport, or better saying, a group of three related combat sports, Foil, Épée and Sabre. It's somewhat popular in Lisander and other nations in Imperan League, with a nice growth curve.
For this test event, competitions of Individual and Team Foil, Épée and Sabre will be hosted in Stella Maris, a small seaside city in Northern Lisander. More info about the hosting city should be brought in the Everything Thread. The format will depend on the number of participants, but ideally, it's a Knockout Tournament.
Since the first (also last) Fencing Grand Prix is now about four years in the past, and considering the fact of most of the participant nations don't exist anymore, no ranks will apply. RP bonus will be generous and cumulative. Also, despite the Lisanderian tradition of men and women competing separately, this event provides for gender equality among its competitors. We understand that this is the international standard and we respect it.
Last but not least, considering this tournament is a test event and won't count to rankings, no puppet policy will be enforced. You are free to signup as much fencers you want to. You're free to sign them as individual fencers from different nations, but for team competition, they should be under only one NS nation.
Signups will be open until November 14, 23h59 GMT. Everything thread will be posted the following day.
