| Competition format | For each category there will, depending on numbers, be one or two rounds of pools for all fencers followed by a Direct Elimination. Novices and Intermediates will fence together in one competition at least in the pools, but separate medals/trophies will be given for both. Normally all fencers can expect to be included in the DE, but if numbers are large there may have to be a cut, but only if two rounds of pools are fought. The format will be described on the day. If ladies or men’s numbers are low, then ladies and men may be given the option of fencing the pools (but not the DE) together. No fence off for 3rd place. |
