Note This is a Old AskFRED event. Registrations and results are all correct, but some other data could be missing.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS FORMAT IS TO ENCOURAGE LEARNING, PRACTICE, AND GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP. THIS IS NOT A SANCTIONED USA FENCING TOURNAMENT WITH ANY COMPETITIVE VALUE. All fencers will be divided into pools and fence 5 touches-or-3 minutes. The top 6 fencers will be seeded evenly between two TEAMS and fence the standard 45 touch team format. Each fencer will have 3 matches against the opposing three fencers on the other team. If there is a 7th fencer, that fencer will be assigned a substitute spot on one of the teams, against the 6th seed fencer. If there are 8 or more fencers in the competition, those who are not promoted to the team event will be placed in a direct elimination tableau where they will fence the standard 10 touch-2 three minute period bouts. On the very off chance there are 12 fencers in the competition, those seeded 1-6 will be placed into two teams against each other and those seeded 7-12 will be placed into two teams against each other.
