    Hi!

    I have fenced in a 41-man ME poule in one day, so it is doable. However, I think that one should seed people according to their worst weapon. a truly versatile fencer is good at everything. Someone who is great at two and is bad at the 3rd will fare relatively well according to your seeding, but I would not call him versatile.

    Shlep.
    Well, we obviously have diametrically different opinions on how a 3-weapon event should be constructed. For those who are great in one weapon but bad at the other two we already have one-weapon events, why should one construct a multiweapon event to cater to them?


    Have a nice time!

    As have I (mixed in my case). On the day before fencing a 25-man MxF pool and the day after a 27-man MxS pool. Plus 2 DE bouts each on the sabre and epee days (top-4 were fenced off).

    Long days are fun.

    The tournament I'm referring has an additional 3-W prize using the sum of the ordinal rankings from the three days.

    Will be an annual event (with capacity fields of 51 (epee) and 36 (or possibly 39) (foil/sabre)). Come play with us.
