Gender Policy for Women's Tournaments

The primary intent in the past of the Women's tournament os to support women - as a disproportionately under-represented gender in HEMA - in their desires to be able to compete and test their skills with peers, outside of the Open tournament format where they may experience a variety of issues. However, we recognise that many non-binary fencers also  may be in a similar position. Therefore, this tournament is open to: 

• Women (for the avoidance of doubt: cis or trans) 

• Any non-binary fencers who feel the issues above also apply to them, and that their presence in the tournament wouldn’t detract from the aims in regards to women 

Please see the Tournament Rules section of the website (last sub-section) for a more detailed explanation of this policy. 

We recognise that there are a wide range of non-binary genders, and not all of them will feel comfortable participating in the women’s tournament. Our intent is to allow fencers to decide for themselves which tournament option best fits to their gender identity. We will always provide an Open category so that people of any gender are able to compete.
