Youth/Adult team tournament at Pennsic will be held on Tuesday, August 9, beginning at noon on the Southeast Battlefield. Youth fighters, now is the time to line up your adult team mates for this tourney! Please note that the Woods Battle is occurring that morning at 10 am, so you may want to find adult fighters who either aren't planning to fight in the woods or who possess a lot of stamina. :-)<br><br>***Division 1 Fighters*** - There is a new standard for weapons that was just approved. You can still make your weapons from golf tubes, BUT you can now also make them of 1/2" PVC pipe with pool noodle foam. The pipe must have end-caps at both ends and be wrapped with strapping tape in two orientations. Basically, follow the instructions for making a D2/3 weapons except substitute 1/2" PVC for the 3/4" PVC that the D2/3's use, and make sure to use the thicker pool noodle foam instead of pipe foam. See me if you have any questions. PVC weapons are much
more durable than golf tube weapons, so this is a welcome change. <br><br>The practice schedule for the next few weeks is as follows:</span></span></div><div class="yiv109299269yui_3_2_0_42_131012788897375" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; "></div><div style="font-size: 10pt; "><span class="yiv109299269Apple-style-span yiv109299269yui_3_2_0_42_1310127888973129" style="font-size: 16px; "><div><br></div></span><span class="yiv109299269Apple-style-span yiv109299269yui_3_2_0_42_1310127888973135" style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; "><div><span class="yiv109299269Apple-style-span yiv109299269yui_3_2_0_42_1310127888973137" style="font-family: times, serif; font-size: 16px; "><span class="yiv109299269yshortcuts" id="yiv109299269lw_1309008103_7">July 17</span> Regular Practice</span><br></div><div><span class="yiv109299269Apple-style-span
