Now that the World Championships are done, there is a new fencing season ahead.
This game will score points for contestants throughout the 2001-2002 fencing season, starting with tournaments in January 2002 and going until the World Championships in August of 2002.
Everything can be obtained from
www.fie.ch
Here is how this game will work.
1. Each contestant gets to select 5 senior men's foil fencers of the 336 fencers who are currently listed on the FIE website.
Go to Résultats for Type: Classements, Armes; Fleuret, Sexe: Masculin, and Catégorie: Senior.
The Total points for each fencer are listed in the first column after each fencer's name.
2. You can select any five fencers but the total number of points cannot go over 300.
For example:
Salvatore Sanzo = 216
Antoine Mercier = 78
Michael Pasinkoff = 2
Alexander Wood = 2
Gidon Ratzkin = 2
TOTAL = 300
or
Elvis Gregory = 44
Matteo Zennaro = 44
Serge Golubitsky = 53
Jean-Noel Ferrari = 72
Andre Wessels = 85
TOTAL = 298
3. You don't have to use all 300 points. Your total points of all fencers can be less than 300.
4. You must select 5 fencers. You cannot have less than five and you cannot have more than five.
5. You cannot change any fencers you have selected after January 11, 2002.
6. You cannot select the same person more than once.
The SCORING
1. Go to Résultats for Type: Compétitions, Armes; Fleuret, Sexe: Masculin, and Catégorie: Senior; and Type Classements to obtain information for scoring.
2. If your fencer got first place in a competition, you get 50 points.
If your fencer got second place in a competition, you get 25 points.
If your fencer got third or fourth place in a competition, you get 15 points.
If your fencer got fifth through eighth place in a competition, you get 5 points.
3. If two of your fencers placed in the top four, you get 10 points.
If three of your fencers placed in the top four, you get 20 points.
If four of your fencers placed in the top four, you get 40 points.
4. For each fencer you have in the top 100, you take 101 and subtract their ranking and multiply that by 2. For example, if you have Salvatore Sanzo and he is still in first place, you take 101 and subtract 1. So you get 100 points multiplied by 2 so your points for Salvatore Sanzo would be 200. Second place gets 198 and so on. These points are calculated along with scoring rules 2 and 3.
5. If you have a fencer who was ranked below the top ten and moved into the top ten after a competition, you get 50 points. If you have a fencer who dropped below tenth place but later went back up into the top 10, you get the 50 points.
6. There are no rules to lose points. It should be difficult enough to score points.
