USFA Bans Visor Mask for Epee and Foil
In a recent press release on the United State Fencing Association web site, a statement was made that the USFA, in alliance with the FIE, will be banning the use of the visor masks for both foil and epee events. This ban was made due to safety concerns, but no other information is available at this point in time. It was set to be effective immediately (as of February 9, 2010) for all USFA events (including the upcoming Junior Olympics qualifier in Memphis this weekend).
As of right now, the sabre visor masks are still legal for all USFA events. As more information is available, it will be posted.
