The AFF, following its general meeting in May, has decided to introduce the foil bib target in Australian National events from Jan 1 2011.  This follows the earlier AFF decision to give at least 6 months warning of the introduction of this rule.

The AFF has sent the following message: "The conductive bid for Foil masks will become a requirement for all AFF level tournaments from 1st January, 2011. The requirement will be for FIE approved masks only, for safety and potential insurance risk reasons, no converted conventional masks will be accepted"

The QFA will determine a policy for QLD competitions and publish this as soon as possible.
