• Watching a fencing tournament can be a very unique and rewarding experience.
• Be Prepared to Wait
  Fencing events generally take all day. Unless your fencer does not move up from the initial rounds (pools), you can expect to spend a great deal of time in the venue. Be patient. Bring something that will help you pass the time – a book, knitting, a personal computer, etc.
• There are usualy few seats available to spectators in venues. Bring your own folding chair or stool and use it. DO NOT take chairs meant for athletes. They need somewhere to sit between bouts to keep their legs "fresh". Placing a towel over their legs will help keep the muscles warm.
• Bring a cooler of food and water if possible. Most local venues do not offer food service. There are products made for collers that are in the form of a "blanket". This can serve double duty: keeping the food and water cool and, as needed, for placing on an injury.Be supportive of your fencer no matter what the outcome of the tournament. Every tournament is a learning experience. Discuss with your fencer what they have learned and what they will work to improve upon.
