TRI-STATE VETERAN SABER CUP SERIES

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

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

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

3. Any ties at the end of the Cup season will be resolved in favor of the fencer who earned the highest number of points at any single Cup event

Entrance Fee: $60 if pre-registered, $75 if walk-in.
