2023 - 2024 TRI-STATE VETERAN SABER CUP (Veteran Event Only)
This 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.
DIV II EVENT
For the first time, we will be adding a Division II event on the same day. This event will not be part of the
Cup Series but is intended for 20-39 year olds seeking opportunities to compete, as well as Veterans who
want to fence some new, younger faces. This event will have limited enrollment and aspires to be C1-
rated.

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
Please note that there are no refunds for this event. Cancellations can be made by sending an email to manhattanfencing@gmail.com at least 7 days prior to the tournament to receive credit towards a future event.
