TRI-STATE 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.
