| Semi-annual rating thread!
What's your rating in your main weapon?
Perhaps we can get something more... statistical... this time. | 
|  | | And now for this message... |

| What should a Canadian like myself answer? I have a "C" rating (er, it's a "classification" in Canada), but the way they're given out here is very different from the way it's done in the States.
I'm torn between two answers ...  | |

| This poll is flawed. You should be able to see who voted.

| I'm going to hold off on voting in this because I've got a good feeling about my fencing around now...and I don't want to be an E for the next semi-annuum. | |

| Not from these parts, but according to the AFF rankings I am equal 17th on the points table. Dunno what that would equate to!

It has very little to do with what the classifications of the fencers in the US are, and possibly little correlation with the classifications of fencing.net members (although likely more correlation there).

| Still a measly U. 
But not for much longer if I keep fencing at the level I was at this last comp. 4 more touches and I would have earned my E in foil.

| still a *&#$ing D04, oh well...at least i get to sneak up on some people; D next to your name is less intimidating than a C or B. i have flashes of brilliance when i fence at a somewhat higher level; last 2 times out i upset 2 B's in the DE's.
i'll probably be a D for a while since i won't be competing anytime soon and have only been to 2 events all year...too broke  | |

| This poll is flawed: when people bring it back from the thread graveyard a year later, anyone who has a different rating can't change their answer.....
