In addition to individual event awards, the Top 3 MS and the Top 3 WS fencers in the 2022-2023 Cup Standings at the end of the season will be recognized. 2022-2023 Cup Standings will be determined as follows: 1. Each fencer will get credit for points earned in their three best finishes (as measured by points) at 2022-2023 Cup events 2. For each 2022-2023 Cup event, fencers will receive points based on their finish and letter ratings of other participants who finish below them: 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 point values of all fencers who finish below them, plus 2 points c. In the case of Vet XS, MS will earn points for all MS finishers below them; WS will earn points for all fencers (MS or WS) below them 3. Ties in the Cup Standings will be resolved in favor of the fencer that received the higher number of points at a single Cup event 2022-2023 CUP EVENTS (LIST IN DEVELOPMENT AS OF SEPTEMBER 17, 2022) September 11, 2022 – Atlantic Fencing Academy (NJ) December 4, 2022 – Capital Fencing Academy (MD) February 5, 2023 – Manhattan Fencing Center (NY) March / April / May 2023 – TBC June 11, 2023 – Infinity Fencing Alliance (NJ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wang Yung Bio: Wang Yung has been fencing for over fifty years and has been coaching for over 20.
