RULES OF THE CLUB

- Weapon priorities are determined by the appropriate night (please see calendar) and the staff of WBFC.
- Open bouting is organized on a “two bouts, then come down” system, unless the Floor Coach or Head Coach chooses to modify the system.
- WBFC staff reserves the right to maintain order up to and including exclusion of disruptive fencers or bystanders from the premises.
- Fencers and guests must adhere to all safety standards in terms of wearing appropriate protective clothing, using only properly maintained weapons, and fencing in a safe manner. No shorts are allowed for classes or bouting.
- Fencers and guests will keep the fencing floor clear of personal equipment at all times; weapons, masks, etc., may be stowed on the benches or in the lounge area during practice times.
