SUMMARY:BYC Qualifier Event at NI Junior Foil Series Round 3
DESCRIPTION:British Youth Championship Qualifiers 2019 \n[fusion_button link=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/byc-qualifier-event-tickets-54280111274?ref=elink” title=”” target=”_blank” link_attributes=”” alignment=”center” modal=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility\,medium-visibility\,large-visibility” class=”” id=”” color=”red” button_gradient_top_color=”” button_gradient_bottom_color=”” button_gradient_top_color_hover=”” button_gradient_bottom_color_hover=”” accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” type=”flat” bevel_color=”” border_width=”” size=”large” stretch=”default” shape=”” icon=”” icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]Enter Now[/fusion_button] \nThe BYC Qualifier Competition will take place on Saturday 12th January 2019 at Sullivan School\, Holywood\, Belfast. \nThe British Youth Championship Finals 2019 will be held at the EIS Sheffield\, Coleridge Road\, S9 5DA on 4th – 6th May 2018. \nCategories are Boys and Girls\, Age Groups U12\, U14 U16 and U18 in Foil\, Epee and Sabre. \nCost for the qualifier is £8 payable on line at time of entry\, and qualifiers must then pay £24 immediately on the day of qualification if at the competition or if no qualifying is necessary within 1 week by cheque made payable to NIF and sent to \nDavid Connery\, 9 Millreagh \, Dundonald\, Belfast\, BT16 1TJ. \nFor Entry to the competition in May. \nThe top 4 eligible fencers in each weapon age group will qualify for entry to the BYC’s in Sheffield.  In the event that only 4 fencers or less enter the qualifier in a weapon age group\, they will automatically qualify. If you have a bye to this year’s finals by making the L8 in the previous year\, you must still register to enter the event. Fencers with byes who do not enter their Regions qualifier will not be eligible to take part in the BYCs. \nIf you do not wish to travel to the final championships in Sheffield\, you MUST let us know on the day of the qualifiers\, otherwise you will be required to pay the entry fee explained below. If one of the top 4 fencers does not want to take up the qualifying place this can be offered to the next highest ranked fencer. \nEntries will close at Midnight Thu 10th January 2019 in line with the NIJFS entry. \nFoil qualifiers will be told of their qualification on the qualifying day. \nAs there is no Under 18 Foil competition at the NIJFS if there is a qualifying competition required it will take place at the NIJFS 4 competition as a separate competition in the same format as below. \nThis is a new system designed to account for the low entry rates for Epee and Sabre weapons. If an Epee or Sabre qualifier is required it will take place separately\, but alongside at the NIJFS 4 competition. Epee and Sabre qualifiers will be told by email or text on the day of the foil qualifiers whether they are automatically selected or whether they need a qualifying competition. The format will be identical to the foil qualifiers. \nNIJFS 4 Sunday 3rd February 2019 in Queens Leisure Centre\, Holywood \nFoil qualification will be by results in the Junior Foil Series on Saturday 12th January 2019 at Sullivan School. If you wish to be selected for the BYC at your age group you must separately enter the NIJFS competition 3 as foil entries for BYC normally exceed the 4 fencer quota we will use the ‘on the day results’ to determine the 4 ranking places (Please see appendix 1). This will help to minimize costs. This does mean that non BYC qualifiers will be involved in the competition alongside qualifiers but the results will determined by poules and DE it will have little effect on the final result if any. \nEligibility: \nYears of birth for this season are: \nU12 – Born 2007 or 2008 \nU14 – Born 2005 or 2006 \nU16 – Born 2003 or 2004 \nU18 – Born 2001 or 2002 \nFencers may only enter the Regional event in the Region they have specified on their British Fencing Membership.
