Blade Sizes Required for Youth Events
to be held by Surrey County Fencing Union
Various blade size requirements have been applied to various events in the past.    SCFU used to allow any size in County Events but by being different to the Region regulations, this created problems.

When the SCFU committee considered this, the following precedents were noted for maximum blade sizes:
Event  FoilEpeeSabre
Region U10 0 (Where held)
   Region U12     3      2       2 (Includes SE Region Youth Events run by Surrey)
   NAGC U13       3      2       2 
Region U14     3      2       2 (Includes SE Region Youth Events run by Surrey)
   NAGC U15   5  5       5
Leon Paul U9   3  2       2
Leon Paul U13  3  2       2
All 15 & older 5  5   5
