Great Lakes Sword Club would like to invite your fencers to come and join us
on January 27th and 28th for the annual Schmitter Open. This event is held in
memory of Maestro Charles Schmitter who was an incredibly influential man in the
world of fencing.

This is an Open 3-weapon event with 100% promotion to DE’s, and repechage
(double elimination) in the round of 16 for events with 16 or more entrants.
That's a lot of fencing!
Awards will be given to the top four finishers, with DAGGERS FOR FIRST PLACE!

Fees are $25 for the first event, and $20 for each additional event (even if
on second day). Pre-registered fencers get a $5.00 discount for all events
entered.

Fencers classified “A” fence for FREE in that weapon!!!

Women’s events must have 4 or more entrants to be held, and women MUST fence
the women’s event in order to fence the mixed event. Women may have to double
strip between events if they are in both women’s and mixed events.

Pre-registration is available via email at glswords@..., by calling
517-589-8888, or on www.askfred.net. Fencers may pre-register until Thursday,
January 25th @ 9:00 PM.

Our venue is located 4 minutes off U.S. 127 at:
White Pine Academy
510 Russell St.
Leslie, MI 49251

Fees: $25 first event, $20 each additional event (even if on second day).
