Team Qualification Rules Changed
No qualifying rounds for the 1942 national team championships will be held, it is announced by the board of governors of the A.F.L.A. Instead of having preliminary divisional qualifying tests, all teams will be admitted to the finals of the championship during the gala week. The only limitation is that no club may enter more than one team.
Undoubtedly the reason for this action is that last year no more than three clubs were represented in any men’s weapon, and it was agreed to use four-man teams in each weapon. Other teams that might have filled the field were eliminated in the divisional trials. The new ruling will assure larger fields and give many fencers who have never had an opportunity to fence in a national championship a chance to do so.
