Fun & Experience
Last year we tested this format and it created a fun team competition for all fencers. It was enjoyable and ensured fencing all day. This is why we are launching this as a full league this year.
Team match format for U13
This is for children under the age of 13 who will have a great day of fencing in a team format competition. The emphasis is on fun.
No need to register a team
You register for this as individual fencers or of course as a group booking. On the day, teams of three will be made up randomly. Individual scores from the team matches will be used to rank the fencers. Therefore, it does not matter what team you are on, you will be collecting points for your club, even if there is only one of you from that club.
Winner
Each of the four rounds will be its own individual competition. At the end of the day of each round, individual results will be calculated based on total hits for and hits against and fencers will be ranked accordingly. The results of the top three fencers from each club will be added up. The club with the highest ranking will win.
Finals and overall winners
There will be no finals day. At the end of the year the results from all four competitions will be added up to determine the overall ranking for the clubs. The winners will be announced and medals will be issued.
