2014 AFC Schools (Individual) Championships
The AFC School Fencer Championships offers the opportunity for school-age fencers to represent their State in a representative level competition.
Competition Format
Each State is permitted to nominate a maximum of four fencers in each event, and each fencer is only permitted to compete in one event. Each event consists of an individual competition immediately followed by a team competition.

There are two age categories:
Intermediate – students up to the third year of secondary school in their respective states
Senior – open to any school student
Intermediate – students up to the third year of secondary school in their respective states
Senior – open to any school student
This means that States can send a total of sixteen athletes in each weapon and gender (eight in each category). The two categories will be fenced as separate events, unless there are insufficient competitors, in which case the fields will be combined but separate medals will be awarded.
Equipment Requirements
FIE Standard blades are required and must be in good safe condition. FIE Standard equipment (masks and protective clothing) is recommended for all competitors. However, the minimum requirement is 1600N for masks, 800N for underplastrons (required), and 350N for jackets and breeches. For School events, the AFF does not require fencers to use conductive bibs in Foil. Fencers will need to present masks, weapons, wires and lames to Weapons Control before the event, and weapons will be subject to testing on the strip as in other AFF competitions.
