A small band of MAF fencers who are unrated by the USFA have embarked
on a quest to get that elusive 'A' rating... okay, maybe in their dreams! But 
they are now determined to train and do as many competitions as time and
money will allow. Their goal: to become better fencers and to have a good
time getting there.  If they happen to pick up a rating on the way, well, that's
icing on the cake!

Come join the MAF UNRATED! on their quest. You don't have to be good,
you just have to have fun!  Keep your eye on the 'Upcoming' section. If there's
an unlisted  competition that YOU'D like to fence at and would like to have
the company of your club mates, let us know. Doing competitions with
friends is the best part of fencing!!


** Check http://www.askfred.net/ for more competitions.

** If you're interested in participating in a competition or cheering on one of your
   fellow MAF fencers who is competing, please contact Victor Zee or Ron Purisima.

** You don't have to be good to compete, you just have to have fun!
