General

Escrimeur Fencers Club Cup Series Points Standing System is a modified prototype of the USFA RRPS (Regional Ranking Point System). The objective is to provide fencer-participants with a measured competitive fencing experience in a series of USFA-sanctioned tournaments with athletes from a variety of fencing clubs and of various skill levels.

Fencers fence in corresponding age-category, mixed, or gender-separate event arrangements. Each participant earns Escrimeur Cup points at each event throughout the entire series.

Calculations

The maximum number of points awarded per event is based on the age group bracket and the size of an event with 10 or more fencers:

Age Group	MaxPnts
Y8	50
Y10	50
Y12	100
Y14	200
CDT	300
JNR	400
SnU	250
Dv3	300
Dv2	500
Dv1A	750
Dv1	999
Vet	750

Points are prorated for events with fewer than 10 participants by the event-size factor:

EvntXRatio = NEntrs / 10

Points earned at each event are calculated as follows:

((NEntrs - Pl + 1) / NEntrs) × MaxPnts × EvntXRatio

First place earns the maximum available points for that event size and category. Each following place earns the corresponding number of points from the formula above. Results are rounded to 2 decimal points.

Examples

Y10 event with 10 fencers
1 = 50 × 10/10 = 50
2 = 45
3 = 40
...
10 = 5

Y12 event with 8 fencers
1 = 100 × 8/10 = 80
2 = 70
3 = 60
...
8 = 10

Total Escrimeur Cup Series points are the sum of all points earned in each competition, bracketed by the specific age group and weapon for fencers who compete in multiple events within a tournament.
