New Jersey Cup<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\n

The NJ Cup competition, sponsored by the New Jersey Division, features a year-long series of tournaments in which members of the NJ Division compete for points by finishing as high as possible in multiple USFA-sanctioned open events in a given weapon.  The way the competition is structured, a fencer earns more points for finishing higher in events with more, stronger competitors.  Fencers compete in the weapon(s) of their choice, and at the end of the season the top three finishers of the men\u2019s and women\u2019s series are each awarded with the Cup, which is a beautiful, engraved crystal obelisk.  There is also a Veterans competition which presents a Cup to the top fencer age 40 and over for each weapon and gender.  <\/strong><\/p>\n
