Weekly Epee Competition

In order to give fencers some in-competition training, an informal competition takes place each Saturday morning as part of the Epee Squad session.

Format

The first round of the competition is run as pools (usually 6-8 fencers per pool).  At the conclusion of the pools, each fencer is given a ranking based on the number of bouts won, lost, and the hits in each bout.  Then there is an “exhaustive” direct elimination, where bouts of 15 hits are fenced.  However, in distinction to a regular direct elimination, losing fencers compete against other losing fencers to regain placings.  This happens successively until all places have been fenced off.  Typically, this will mean that each fencer has up to five fifteen-hit bouts in the second round.
