2023 International Sabre Competition of Dortmund

A valid DFB fencing pass is a starting requirement for German fencers. German fencers under the age of 18 need a health certificate (not older than 365 days).

• Participants
• Referees

Referee qualification:

At least a national referee license is required

Die Kampfrichter dürfen das 60. Lebensjahr nicht vollendet haben.

Referees must be provided based on the total entries per day.

The required number of qualified referees must be entered into the inscription system before athletes can be added to the competition.

The referees activity is not paid by the organizer.

Rules for judges also apply to foreigners per nation:
4 fencers per nation 1 referee
8 fencers per nation 2 referees

The judges must have at least a national license and an annual licence and be available for the entire duration of the event.

We expect an adequate appearance:
    - trouser suit or skirt
    - suit and tie

If foreign fencers are announced by German clubs for DFB tournaments and they are also in possession of a German licence, they fall under the participation rate for the German club and are therefore considered for the calculation of compulsory judges to be sent!
