7th Annual Yung Cup / TRI-STATE VETERAN SABER CUP SERIES

2023 - 2024 TRI-STATE VETERAN SABER CUP / YUNG CUP

Maitre de Sabre Wang Yung’s continual contribution to US Veteran Sabre.

Yung was a proud member of the Metropolitan Division for 25 years.

At the end of the 2023 FIE season, Wang Yung has brought 32 Veteran World Championships medals to the United States.  In 12 consecutive Veteran World Championships since 2010, Yung has brought 15 individual gold medals and five team Gold medals to the US in all three age categories and both genders.

In three separate world championships, he coached two individual Golds and a team Gold (2014, 2015, 2023). He has been the only coach to win Vet Women's Sabre team Gold at Vet Worlds. Among all US individual Sabre gold medals won in the 23-year history of Veteran World Championships, Yung’s coaching and fencing has contributed 45% of the total won by US fencers.

The Yung Cup is one of the events in the 9th Annual Tri-State Veteran Saber Cup!

In the past two seasons, the Cup produced 6 A2-rated Vet XS events, 14 A/B ratings, 16 C/D/E ratings and saw more than 225 registrations across 10 events. The Cup also produced 10 WS events with more 100 registrations. These are among the largest Veteran Saber events in the country outside of the North American Cups. Competitors include people from as far away as Atlanta and Chicago.

TRI-TATE VETERAN SABER CUP SERIES

In addition to individual event awards, the Top 3 MS and the Top 3 WS fencers in the 2023-2024 Cup Ranking at the end of the season will be recognized.

2023-2024 Cup Ranking will be based on a points system as follows:

1. Fencers will be awarded points for each event completed:

a. Each fencer will be assigned a value based on their rating (A=7, B=6, C=5, D=4, E=3, U=2)

b. Fencers will earn points equal to the sum of the points of the fencers who finish below them, plus 2 points (in the case of Vet XS, MS will earn points for all MS finishers below them)

2. Each fencer’s ranking will be based on their three best finishes (as measured by points)

3. In case of ties at the end of Series, fencers with an equal number of points will be further ranked based on the highest number of points received at a single Cup event

Here is the current points list for 2023-2024 Tri-State Saber Vet Cup League
