The USFA WWD presents the 2009 Leon Auriol Open
October 3-4, 2009 at Salle Auriol Seattle
The Leon Auriol Open is a Western Washington tradition dating back to 1982. Founded by Maitre Leon Auriol himself, this event has consistently been attended by the best fencers in the Pacific Northwest.
--- Schedule ---
Saturday, October 3:
8:00 am - Doors open
9:00 am - Mixed Saber, Women's Foil
12 Noon - Mixed Epee
Sunday, October 4:
8:00 am - Doors open
9:00 am - Mixed Foil
12 Noon - Women's Epee
12:30 pm - Women's Saber
All times are close of registration. Arrive early to get your equipment checked! We will be running on a strict schedule so your promptness is appreciated.
Depending on the total number of entrants in the large events (mixed epee and foil), it is possible that we will need to only promote the top 80% to the DEs after the pools. (This will probably only happen if an event exceeds roughly 75 entrants.)
--- Registration Information ---
Registration is $20 plus $20 per event entered and must be pre-paid.
!!! IMPORTANT !!!
The registration & payment deadline is 11:59pm PDT on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29th. No exceptions will be made - if you miss the deadline, you will pay DOUBLE fees at the door.

--- Registration Q & A ---
Q: I missed the registration deadline, can I still attend?
A: Yes, but you will pay double fees at the door.
Q: Can I pre-register and pay later?
A: Yes. Pre-register on AskFRED like you normally would, but skip the payment screen. This will add you to the list of registrants, but note that you have not yet paid. You can pay later (before the deadline) by simply going through the registration process on AskFRED again.
Q: I don't want to pre-pay until I'm certain I can attend.
A: If you pre-pay and are unable to attend, we will give you a refund of your event fees. Registration fees are non-refundable.
Q: How do I get a refund?
A: Email your refund request to

.
Q: I don't want to pay online because I don't trust this internet thing.
A: If you are uncomfortable paying online, please contact
This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it
for alternate payment options.
Q: What's with this $0.99 fee AskFRED is charging? I hate fees!
A: The WWD is covering this fee for you - notice that the registration amount is actually $19.01 so that you pay an even $20 when the fee is included.
