We often end up hosting a meet for either [[MACFA]] or [[BWCFC]] each season. This article outlines what preparations are necessary to host a meet.

==Format==
In generally, we fence [[dual meet|dual meets]] in a 2.5-strip format, which means that two sabre matches share a single strip, while each foil or epee match has its own strip.

===Strips===
The number of matches is half the number of teams (rounded down), and using the 2.5-strip format, the number of strips needed is 2.5 times the number of matches, rounded up. The Volleyball Gym can hold about 14 strips. Larger competitions generally must be held in the Reckord Armory.

==Time==
A dual meet usually takes about 60 minutes to fence on three strips and 75 minutes to fence on two strips.

==Referees==
When hiring referees, establish the amount of payment beforehand. If more than 8 referees are needed, consider hiring a head ref.

===Number of referees===
* # epee refs = # matches
* # foil refs = # matches
* # sabre refs = half of # matches, rounded up

==Other personnel==

==Equipment==
Under the 2.5-strip format, every attending team should be asked to bring two strips.

		+	==Paperwork==
		+	Ahead of home events, we need to file a home event form with CRS. In addition to furnishing CRS with information about the meet, this form allows us to request tables, chairs, floor tape, coolers, and scoreboards.
		+
		+	==Setup==
		+	Setup should generally be done the evening before the event. It normally takes about two hours. Any fencers competing in the event are required to set up, and all other club members are encouraged.
