Noob alert:

What is the difference in a Grand Prix and a World Cup?

(Edit to say that I tried clicking on the link above for info, but the site is not responding atm)

[KD5MDK]

Double points, and down to as far as the L64 (depending on cut-off %) and much stronger limited entries. Also, they contain team events have a higher registration fee (60 euros) and the referees are hired instead of brough by each country.

Hey thanks!

I accidentally deleted the e-mail the USFA sent about the--online, I assume--coverage of the Las Vegas World Cup. Could someone reply and post the link on here? Thanks a bunch!

When you say hired I understand that to mean they are selected by the FIE and their expenses paid by the FIE. Only one per country except for the host country.

[rustica]

Interesting. I couldn't resist visiting their site to see what they have to say about fencing. I'm not encouraged.

We'll have some more audio interviews of the fencers in Vegas.

Let me know today or tomorrow (Friday) if there are any specific fencers or questions you want asked/answered. Send an email to me: craig AT fencing.net to get fastest response.

If we continue to get good response on these interviews, we'll work out a regularly scheduled podcast that will allow us to expand what we cover.

Tan CHN defeats Marzocca ITA 15-10

[Mo]

The Semi Final bouts were:
Ward over the Korean 15-4 (can that be true?) Evidently the last touch by B was a flying lunge.
Tan Xui over Marsola 15=10.
Final bout is after teh women's foil gets done... not going anywhere for a while?
