Tim Morehouse Fencing Club - Full Club Results

Top Fencing Clubs By Entry Size with Entry Revenue Fees at Summer Nationals 2019

Out of curiosity, we tabulated the number of entries per club and multiplied by the $95 entry fee amount.

We did not include the $75 registration fee so each club probably generated an additional 10-15% of revenue for USA Fencing.
