Large turnout for the Stab-a-thon. We had 29 in epee (a B2) and 23 in foil (a B1), but only 3 in the unrated foil. We had fencers from as far away as Florida and Indiana. If we start drawing these kind of numbers and fencers for events, you are all going to have to practice much harder or you will be the cannon fodder.
