Fencing Time Updates

Peroidically, minor updates are released for Fencing Time to reflect policy changes made by the USFA. These updates can be downloaded for free and used to bring your copy of Fencing Time (both the full and trial versions) up-to-date with the current rules.

If you need to update your entire copy of Fencing Time from an older version (version v2.11 or earlier) to the latest version (version 2.13), you should download the new version from the Downloads page. Registered users should log in and download the full version once logged in.

If you have upgraded to version 2.13, you do not need these updates - they are already present in v2.13.
