Each year USA Fencing awards jacket patches to fencers who obtain the highest points standings in their respective age groups both regionally and nationally.
“These patches recognize the most successful Youth, Cadet and Junior fencers in each of USA Fencing’s six regions and are based on each fencer’s performance at regional tournaments.
Our Events Team tallied the points to see which three fencers emerged on top of their weapon and age group and will mail a gold, silver or bronze patch to each winner.
There are also patches to recognize the top Division IA, Division II and Veteran fencers based on their performance at regional tournaments.”
