Format - Each weapon will be two rounds of poules. The first poule round is randomly selected, with the competition organisers then trying to move fencers around based on skill level so that each poule is as balanced as possible. The seeding for the second round is done by splitting ranking after the first poule. Final ranking is determined by a fencer's ranking at the end of the second poule. 

If a fencer competes in all three weapons, they are eligible for the Master of Arms trophy. This is determined by the fencer's average final ranking from all three weapons. The fencer with the best average ranking across all three will win the trophy! There will be an overall Master of Arms and a Women's Master of Arms awarded. 

Entries will open at 8am, with each weapon starting at:
Foil - 8:30am
Sabre - 11:30am
Epee - 2:00pm
