Fatfencer just earned his C today!!! Any chance they will allow me to be seeded as a C in Div 3 foil in Atlanta? I took 3rd at the Arizona State Championships
Woohoo!

Why would that be? I thought the last day for rating changes for Summer Nationals was June 9th. I took particular note of this because I was attending a tournament on the 10th and thought "ratings changes won't mean anything in Atlanta". -

Array The last day to change rankings for Nationals was the 16th of June. A clubmate earned his D in epee on the 17th, but was informed that he just missed the deadline. Now you can sneak in under the radar though. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger." -
Hi!
Congrats!
Have a nice time!

Milestones. I was beginning to wonder if my climb to Div 1 had reached a plateau. I've been a D forever. Now, an Arizona C doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things but in the context of losing weight, gaining stamina, etc. I guess it means something.
I missed it at the Reno NAC by 3 touches.
Paul Gallico wrote something about there not being a "royal road" to the top.. the steep climb to the top protecting those who made it from the up and comers, etc. I know what he means and I'm not anywhere near the top...more like the lower-middle.
Any tips on making my stay at the "c" level shorter?
Thanks for the congrats and stuff!!

I don't know for sure, but it seems logical that there would be a similiar cutoof for NACs. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons.

i believe it is usually the monday before the tournament for NACs...
It makes sense to have a bigger window for Summer Nationals (IMHO)... lots more prep work for the organizers.

Fatfencer Pound out a few, and lose some weight. The sweet is never sweet without the sour. -

The reason I ask is that I once earned a rating in an event at an NAC and 2 days later was seeded according to the new rating in another event... Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you! Similar Threads -
