Frequently Asked Questions
- Can a fencer participate in more than one event?
Yes fencers can fence in multiple events over the two days. However, fencers cannot fence more than one event at the same time. Any overlap in fencing, the fencer will be forced to forfeit the secondary events without refund. Simply the competition cannot delay bouts to accommodate delays without affecting the entire schedule. - How long has Brock been hosing this event?
Records are not complete. Brock started hosting a university team invitational in 1986 which eventually evolved into an individual competition under the Ontario Participation Circuit. The Participation Circuit was funded but the Ontario Wintario grants and offered subsidies to both organizers and participants to take part in events, including cash-value prizes. Through changes in the circuit, the PC circuit as it was called later became the OC circuit (Ontario Challenge), but without subsidies. In 2009, as a result of changes in the Canadian domestic membership structure and domestic ranking the Brock event became an Open competition. Over the span of the subsequent years, Brock has been grateful to boast some of the highest attendance numbers in Canada.
