Buried in the agenda for the May 30 board meeting (https://www.usafencing.org/boardmeetings) is a slide presentation describing the proposed new event structure and points system. Key elements:

• Applies only at senior, junior, and cadet: no change to current youth, veteran, and para points standings
• Will not apply to team selection until 2028 (after LA28). The current point system will be running in parallel for world/Olympic team selection
• National events split into Elite and National divisions: Elite to have a maximum of 112 entries, National to be a maximum of 224
• New points list will encompass all levels from international to local, with more points available at the higher levels. Best six results (in the past year???) count.

Regional event awards must have already gone out since I just got a referee availability request for next season. Meanwhile, we haven't heard about locations and dates for the 2027 national events after JOs (February, March, Div 1 champs, Nationals).

Can we get the regional and national schedules out to people soon, please, Colorado?
