    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".

    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.

    Do they have similar cutoff dates for rating changes before NACs as well, or only for Nationals?

    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.

    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.

    Pound out a few, and lose some weight.

    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...
