Regional Open Circuit tournaments are open to current USFA competitive members eligible to fence in Open competitions and to foreign fencers with current FIE licenses. The top 10% (with a minimum of 4) finishers in each Regional Open Circuit event earn qualification to the Division I-A Championship at Summer Nationals. However, since foreign fencers are not eligible to compete in USFA national championship events, they will not be counted as part of the field in calculating the 10%. For qualification purposes, any foreign fencer who finishes within the qualifying group will be skipped over, and the next highest-finishing eligible domestic fencer will qualify.
An ROC points list is maintained in the ROC section of askfred.net. Points are awarded using Table H (Division I without repechage) of the Domestic Points Table, for the two best ROC results. The ROC point standings are entirely separate from the National Rolling Points and Team Standings and are not used for any qualification purposes at this time.
