Team Preliminary Seeding Information (subject to change)
Preliminary Seeding is posted to provide the teams an opportunity to verify the information for their fencers.  If a team wishes to make any changes to the team, add a team captain, or believes there is a discrepancy in the information posted, please email Tanya Brown with your name, event and the details of the change, or communicated at the time of team check-in at the venue.  If discrepancies are not reported to the Bout Committee by the close of check-in, the information stands as presented. We understand and appreciate the team unity that many of the teams have shown in the past. However, we ask that one and only one team captain or representative come to the team event table when called. The following procedures will be followed for teams:

  2. Table will be constituted and Team Captains or Representative will than determine fencer order.
  3. Higher seeded team would automatically be designated as the "winner of the coin flip" and assigned the 1-2-3 side (Match order: 3-6, 1-5, 2-4, 1-6, 3-4, 2-5, 1-4, 2-6, 3-5)
  4. Direct elimination from beginning of competition. Relay format, 9 bouts to a maximum score of 45 – increments of 5 touches or maximum time of 3 minutes for each bout.  Fence off for 3rd.
