Cool. Just hate it when I am a jerk for no good reason, especially to a fellow EPEEist. I would hate for Victor or Mr. Epee to kick me out of the Church!  Just another lost soul saved by the (hit) First Church of EPEE!

Free-thinking? Yeah, right.

Actually it works otherwise, you just don't get very many points. Feel free to post your own system or modifications to mine that you think are more useful.
2. We shouldn't give extra points for going to more events. Perhaps we can just use the highest number of events a fencer got for a single tournament? Otherwise, the fencers that remembered the highest number of their results would be ranked highest.
I actually thought of it as a "top X" results thing (which is why I totaled my top 3 results and my top 3 non-national results for this season). I definitely do feel that it should just be a single peak performance measurement. As to how many events should be counted, again, make your own suggestions.
3. I don't understand the part at the end, what did you multiply the "strength factor" by?
The number of points awarded for D1 NACs. It's a convenient points chart. Gives a value for every place through 32, then I proposed an extension for 33rd -> 78ish. You can find the points chart on the USFA website. Do a search for something like "points" in their search box and you should find it within a couple of links of one of the top returned pages in the results list.

I don't claim to be the best fencer in the world. Or even on the board. I know of several fencers here who I consider considerably better than I am and who have considerably better results. But I am happy with what I've accomplished, and what I expect to accomplish in the future.
BTW... you still owe me points in the trivia thread too. How 'bout we just call it even. Don't know what I did that caused you to start being pissy towards me a couple of months ago. Don't really care. I'm willing to leave it at that.

Winning sectionals yesterday likely makes it onto my top-3 non-national events list. I'll post the FnSF for it in a couple of days once I can see the results (and therefore get accurate counts on ratings of other people that were there).

FnSF = [N/10 + (6(Sr8) + 5(Sr24) + 4(Sr) + 3(A) + 2(B) + C + (D)/2)]/100
FnSF = [43/10 + 4(1) + 2(8) + 11 + (10)/2)]/100 = .403
1000 * .403 = 403 points.
So my top-3 non-national events total is now 854.
