The BFA will be introducing the new foil target area (i.e. conductive bibs) for Opens and Selection/ranking competitions for Juniors and Cadets as of September 2009.
The requirement is for: "Full FIE spec OR mask update inc. wire *"
* Mask update including wire:- retrofit conductive material covering the new valid bib surface on the outside of the bib, kit supplied by equipment suppliers and fitted by the owner of the mask. The fencer will also be required to connect the mask valid target to the conductive jacket by an approved specification mask wire, as per the FIE specification.
- The BFA have indicated an introduction date of September 2009 for Opens, which means that this will apply to the Welsh Open 2009.
- The WF executive have also decided to introduce this to the Welsh Domestic calendar from September 2009. However, we will only require the mask update; we will not require the Full FIE Spec or the wire.
We are sympathetic to the impact on our junior and youth competitors, and will try to ensure there are sufficient 'bid adaptation' kits available for use at these competitions
