Eligibility

Competitors must have a full competitive membership of Scottish Fencing which is valid on the day they are competing.

They must be a UK resident and eligible to fence for Scotland.

There is one exception - if someone is not eligible to fence for Scotland but is under 18, resident in Scotland and attends a Scottish school they can enter. One example of this would be someone with settled status. This exception does not apply to those under the age of 18 who board at Scottish schools. They can only enter if they are also eligible to fence for Scotland.
