The USFA Western Washington Division presents The 2022 Battle in Seattle

The Battle in Seattle is back!

The Battle in Seattle is the Western Washington Division's largest annual event, drawing fencers from all over the country. As part of the Regional Open Circuit (ROC), the Battle offers fencers the opportunity to earn points towards qualifying for the Division I-A events at Summer Nationals.

The top 40% of finishers in each event will earn Division I-A ROC points. Veteran fencers that compete in these events will automatically qualify for the corresponding veteran event at Summer Nationals.
