The CDL (Heart of the Lion) is a friendly informal foil competition, run mainly to give beginners a taste of competing, without the pressure. Run about once a month on a Saturday afternoon, the CDL consists of only two rounds, so it’s not too much of a fitness challange, and leaves time for lessons etc.

The format is pools (round-robin, everybody in the pool fences everyone else). The initial pool is a mixture of more experienced fencers (who are responsible for refereeing, scoring etc), and newer fencers. Based on the result in this pool fencers split into Gold, Silver & Bronze pools, with others of similar ability, where again it’s round-robin, and prizes are awarded.

So although you may get your ego dented a bit by losses in the 1st round, the 2nd round will be more even!

The competition finishes about 4pm, and a group generally meets later for drinks/dinner.

Funded by the $5 entry fee, there are prizes for the winner of each pool, and at the end of the year in just about every category we can think of.
