There are some additional rules & interpretations used for sabre. Details below.
Please note British Fencing have recently produced a new
system for scoring all senior events. Sabre will not use any additional
interpretations for scoring senior events for the season 08-09.
Junior & cadet competitions
The
sabre committee of
Sabre Points system
See the British Fencing web site for details of
the points system rules.
Junior (U20)
Selection
for International events
Selection will be based on the junior rankings as at the published
selection dates for the 5 nominated junior World Cup events
Cadet (U17)
Cadet
have 2 ranking lists:-
British
team selection rankings
Development
rankings
Cadet
Development Ranking list rules
This season, 08-09, there will again be 2 ranking lists. The
development ranking list used for selecting fencers for international events
& for seeding age group competitions will use all domestic events & the
nominated international events. This season 08-09 it will include points from
the U15 event in Moneteau & the age group championships from England,
Northern Ireland, Scotland & Wales. This general ranking will be a rolling
ranking using the previous 12 months results.
Senior domestic events are scored on the same scale as for
senior rankings but there is an additional multiplier of 3.
Cadets will only count nominated cadet competitions &
nominated World Cup events (A-grades) for their International results. Cadet
events have a NIF score set by the weapon captain, Junior A-grades are scored
off the junior World Cup as above with an additional multiplier of 20.
The U17 Championships (& all U17 events where there is
no younger event) will have a NIF score based on the adjusted top 50 of last
season’s final U17 ranking (the adjustment being fencers who have gone out of
the age group will be removed from the count of the top 50.) The NIFs will be 6
& 3 & 1 as for seniors. The minimum NIF for the British national
championships & the
The U20 Championships (& any other U20 competitions)
will have a NIF score based on the adjusted top 50 of last season’s final U20
ranking (the adjustment being fencers who have gone out of the age group will
be removed from the count of the top 50.) The NIFs will be 6 & 3 & 1 as
for seniors. There will be an additional multiplier of 2. The minimum NIF for
the BSC events will be 75.
Cadets will also be able to count age group events such as
British Youth Championships & Leon Paul series events. The system for
grading these events is outlined below:-
British Youth Championships & other competitions with an
U18 event: The NIF scores will be based on the adjusted top 50 of last season’s
final U17 & U20 ranking (the
adjustment being fencers who have gone out of the age group will be removed
from the count of the top 50) & the final U17 ranking from the previous
season. The NIFs will be 6 & 3 & 1 as for seniors.
The U18 event will use both U17 rankings & the U20
rankings as outlined above, fencers will be given the higher NIF score if they
appear on more than one ranking list.
The U16 & U14 events will use the U17 ranking only.
Age group events in the 1st calendar year of the
season: Each event (U17, U15, U13, U11) will be counted & scored
separately. These events will have a NIF score based on the adjusted top 50 of
last season’s final U17 ranking (the adjustment being fencers who have gone out
of the age group will be removed from the count of the top 50.) Fencers will
also be counted as NIFs on the final U17 ranking. If a fencer appears on both
they will be given the higher of the 2 NIF scores. The NIFs will be 6 & 3
& 1 as for seniors.
Leon Paul series in the 2nd calendar year of the
season: Each event (U17, U15, U13, U11) will be counted & scored
separately. These events will have a NIF score based on the adjusted top 50 of
last season’s final U17 ranking (the adjustment being fencers who have gone out
of the age group will be removed from the count of the top 50.) The NIFs will
be 6 & 3 & 1 as for seniors.
For all the systems described above the British Team
Selection rankings will be used for calculating NIFs.
Selection for International events
For most cadet
events the invited fencers will be the top 25 on the on the development cadet
ranking list or the British Team
selection cadet ranking list as at the selection date for each event (Godollo
will only use the selection ranking). For Moneteau the top 30 U15s on the
development ranking list will be selected. Fencers must check www.fencingforum.com or the cadet page
on www.fencingcoach.net for the
invitation lists.
