Yeah, but we're talking about weapons in general in all areas of the country and earning a first rating.
I'd agree that a weak A4 (and you don't really see strong ones outside of NACs) is a fairly easy way to get a C or above.

How do you define weak vs strong?
An interesting thing on FRED: I searched for A4 and "Women". No results. How many WS As are there?
As far as I can tell, FRED is only aware of 1 A4 Sabre tournament ever (outside of National tournaments, I mean), held at Nellya.

I expect both of those numbers have changed since then but don't have any more recent information. My 2003(?) report is in my office at school (I'm at home today) so I can't pull up exact numbers or confirm my recollection.

Last weekend's Mr. Ma Cup had a A4 event in Men's foil... just as a point of fact for the argument.

If you do well, you might pick up a rating.

Mr. Ma cup has been an A4 foil tournament before I believe. I think it was even an A4 the last time I competed in it (which was a decent while ago). I now dangle to the left....my tassle. Get your minds out of the gutter.
