FIE Licence – you need a licence to compete
From 1st August 2022, you must apply for the FIE licence through the British Fencing Membership Portal.

Hotel
Hotel Gasthof Schützen
Rooms are booked for Friday and Saturday night.

If athletes wish to add additional nights they can ask to have the same room at the hotel but please do not change or amend BF’s booking.

  • Parents should not book into the athlete hotel
  • Rooms will only be booked for fencers. Personal coaches will need to make their own reservation.
  • Personal coaches need to book their own accommodation. They can stay at the same hotel if they wish

FIE COVID Testing Rules
The FIE still have COVID rules in place for the FIE events.

  • Facemasks must be worn, except when fencing, training and eating;
  • Participants will need to present to the organisers the negative result of one
    Covid19 test (PCR or RAT Rapid Antigen Test), performed within maximum 72 hours before the arrival in the country
  • Other sanitary measures at the competition may be implemented by the host
    federation at their option or as required by the national authorities.

 

BF COVID instructions for the above test

  • Athletes and staff to test prior to leaving the UK within 72 hours of the arrival time into the country travelling to and take a photo of the test and also bring the test with them to present at registration. Everyone is also to bring a spare test to the registration as a back up. 
  • Everyone to bring enough masks for the duration of the event.

 

Athlete Contributions
As the cost of travel and accommodation have increased due to the current climate we have had to increase the travel and administration costs to reflect this.

  • Team Manager/Coach Contribution: £70
  • Referee Contribution: £100.  Each Junior World Cup squad of 10 or more will require 2 referees (or a 1000 euro fine per missing referee – which could happen at the last minute eg if a referee tests positive for COVID or illness). BF, through the ADP, will be subsidising the additional costs of fines/travel where required. Rules around referee quotas and fines can be found on the FIE website here, o.25 and o.31. 
  • Additional Coach: £0 (approx. £65 per head subsidy by BF when a coach is provided)
  • Accommodation: £60/night (normally a minimum of 2 nights, based on sharing). Any additional nights required by fencers they will need to be booked by the individual. When doing this you can ask the hotel to have the same room but please do not alter any BF bookings.
  • Administration: £15 (£20 per head subsidy by BF)

Athletes that breach BF Codes of Conduct risk becoming ineligible for future financial subsidies and may be required to refund any grants and subsidies.
