Tournaments in BOLD are confirmed dates and places. All other dates are pending confirmation by the regional coordinator and/or the local organizer.

There will be three Super Youth Circuits at which points will be awarded. Only one SYC result in the weapon and age group will be considered for the relevant National point standings. Points are awarded at the SYC to those placing in the top 40% of the competitive field, regardless of where the cut occurs, with no rounding, using the National point tables for Youth 10, Youth 12, or Youth 14 as appropriate.

NOTES: Preferred format is one or two rounds of pools with 100% promoted to a direct elimination ladder of 2 of 3 5-touch bouts. "0" or "2" blades are required of all fencers competing in Youth 10 competitions.

For the NAC Y12 and Y10 tournaments, athletes must compete in at least one RYC or one SYC competition in the current season in the age category and the weapon in which the athlete intends to enter. NAC Y14 tournaments are open.

For the Youth 10 and Youth 12 competitions at Summer Nationals youth fencers must have competed in one RYC or one SYC or NAC Youth in the current season in the age category and weapon in which the athlete plans to enter. For the Y14 National Championships at the Summer Nationals, Y14 fencers MUST either be on the Y14 National point standings on May 1, 2005 or place in the top 25% of their Division's Y14 qualifying competition. See Chapter 2 of the Athletes Handbook for more details on qualifying paths to the Summer National Championships.
