Ratings: When and Where Did You Get Them (Epee A and Sabre Ratings)

[jbenjamin]

this is for Epee and Sabre... the previous poll wasn't big enough... again, if there's a flaw in the poll please tell me...

[Shi no Tenshi]

You skipped Epee E. Coincidentally what I have. You bad bad man. Also, why have the U rating in there? You don't exactly earn it....

Unclassified sabre competition March 2007 at FAW in NY.

And that earns a (are you ready)

THIS POLL IS FLAWED!

[fencerbill]

I earned a C99 by being on a Gold Medal Sabre Open Team (not Div I team) Summer Championships. The average age of the team was 34, that was me at 62 and 2 twenty year olds. This has now faded to a D which I re-earned sveral times.

I earned my sabre E06 at an unclassified mixed comp last July. I came in first after pools and tied for 3rd overall.

[RebelFencer]

I've earned my A about 4 or 5 times at different places.

[Inquartata]

B in sabre. I got it at the Denver NAC in 2005, first in the Veteran and then again 2 days later in Div II. I re-earned it several times after that in 2006, but not this year.

No, it's in his/her OTHER poll which covers foil and epee below A-level. You just tried to vote in the wrong place. :)

FWIW, I first earned my foil C at the D3 NAC in Orlando and have re-earned it many times since, I first earned my epee B at the Turkey Open in Boston in 1998 and have re-earned it MANY times since, and I first earned my sabre A at D1A Nationals in 2001 and have re-earned it about a half dozen times since.

I'll answer to my epee rating in the other thread...

Earned my E05 in sabre at the Pomme de Terre Unclassified Men's Sabre in (surprisingly enough) 2005. Think I may have re-earned it once or twice since then, but I haven't fenced sabre in a competition in over a year and a half at this point.

In sabre; Earned my E0...5? at the Pomme de Terre unclassified, the year it was probably over 100 in the venue. This involved me doing horrendously in pools and fighting my way up in a series of rediculous DEs, at least 2 or 3 of which were won 15-14. After one bout, I just collapsed off strip trying desperatly to breathe. I took my whole ten minutes, dammit.

Re-earned it at least a couple times under less oppressively hot circumstances.

[MyrddinsPrecint]

No, it's in his/her OTHER poll which covers foil and epee below A-level. You just tried to vote in the wrong place.

Except for the part where's it's not actually there......

Don't confuse the discussion with the FACTS, young lady! You should know we rarely allow them here.

I've got 99 problems but the truth ain't one.

[Peach]

Sabre earned A'01 in Division IA. Earned B'05 by letting it age Am industriously attempting to earn C'09, with steady progress towards goal.

[BraveHardt]

Earned A99 at the North Atlantic Sectionals. Re-earned that a number of times, most recently at the Midwest Sectionals 2007.

When I got by A99, I also got a C99 in both foil and sabre. These both aged to a D03. Last year I earned a D06 in foil. I suppose I need to fence a sabre event if I expect to update that rating.

[TrojanMD]

Earned my Sabre D04 at Sectionals, promptly followed my C04 in Div1A after oversleeping and hearing my name on the loudspeakers as I rushed in with 5min to spare. My B05 came in Denver. Currently, I am looking forward to meeting Peach in at least one if not more Div II NAC finals in 2009...

[veeco]

I got my epee A for the first time at a Bay Cup in Concord. I've rearned it many times since then, including barely this year, after a 3 year competition hiatus in USFA events. In the meantime I became one of the top 100 fencers in France, including a top 12 at a French national tournament, finals at the sectional Paris championships and winning several Bay Cup type events in Switzerland.

[D+F+P=Hadouken!]

Sounds like you got better at fencing, Veeco.

I picked mine up at JO's this year, 7th. Have not been close to re-earning it yet.

[formerfencer]

Got my C06 at my first and only individual sabre tournament I fenced, a div II in Reno. I don't feel like perpetuating ratings inflation, so it may be my last...
