The first LSMAF-sanctioned national title event: all three certified formats, national rankings points, and the first national champions crowned under Federation sanction, continuing a national championship tradition the sport has held annually since 2020. Divisions by format, rank, and age per the Competition Rulebook. Exact date to be announced.
Every sanctioned event runs on Saber Circuit, the Federation's official tournament platform. Additional events are added as academies and chartered clubs receive sanction. Check back, or write to [email protected].
The Federation organizes its sanctioned competition calendar across six U.S. districts: West, North Central, Mideast, Northeast, South Central, and Southeast. The Mideast and Northeast districts carry the first sanctioned events on the record; the calendar expands district by district as academies and chartered clubs receive sanction.
Every sanctioned event runs under the national Competition Rulebook: same rules, same divisions, same standard, everywhere.
Level-1 and Level-2 certified judges and referees on every mat. No official result without a certified official.
Results report through Saber Circuit into the National Rankings System and the Federation's official activity record, the file behind international recognition.
Academies and chartered clubs in good standing may apply to sanction tournaments: your venue, your community, official results.
