Array 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.... The Angel of Death Strikes!

Array 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. Whoopee! My avatar is back. -

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

Array I've earned my A about 4 or 5 times at different places. RebelFencer's Awesome Quote of the Week:

Array 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.

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.

Array 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. -

Array 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. "Arm yourself, Watson, there is an evil hand afoot ahead." -- Dennis Pierce, 2010 Bulwer-Lytton contest, detective fiction category runner-up. -

Array 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. -
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... -

Array 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. - Epee is the Louis Vuitton bag of fencing: only the best can get it, and the rest of the masses must content themselves with cheap knockoffs (sabre, foil)
- To not recognize the power of the French grip is to be in denial

Array 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. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. And from this side only! The flight of a half-man, half-bird. Dinosaurs nuzzling their young in pastures where strip malls should be. Cookies on dowels. All those moment, lost in time. Gone, like eggs off a hooker's stomach. Time to die" -Phil Ken Sebben -

Array 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... "That was so close to being good!" "Name a shrub after me -- something prickly and hard to eradicate" Similar Threads -
