Once you join the Bay Cup, you will receive a receipt for your registration. Keep that receipt because it can be used to validate your Bay Cup membership status. A copy of the receipt is kept with the Bay Cup coordinator to counter-verify your receipt, and a list of members is posted on this website. If your first Bay Cup competition is the fifth or sixth event of the season in the weapon category, your Bay Cup membership will be extended to the following season. For safety reasons, we want parents and coaches to think prudently about placing young fencers in older age-group events.
Some additional money do come in via sponsors and advertising money.
The Bay Cup financials are also posted on this website.
