Region 1 Tournament Watch: Emerald City's Division II Men's Fields Are All Full, and Rain City Fall RYC Has 10 Full Events
Wednesday, October 14, 2026 · Bout-Buddy Editorial
Region 1 has 7 tournaments with 58 events at 80% or higher, and 45 of them full, about the same as a week ago (44). The big change is at Emerald City ROC in Seattle (Nov 7–8): Division II Men's Epee filled this week, so all three Division II men's fields are full, and its regular deadline is a week away, October 21.
Rain City Fall RJCC+Div II ROC in Bellevue (Oct 16–18) is in late registration, at USA Fencing's late fee, until tomorrow, October 15. Entries fell in three of its fields this week, so there are a few spots again.
