2011 Fencing World Champs Bracket Challenge

[Craig]

Pit your predictive skills against the rest of the Fencing.Net community and see if you can come out on top.

We're using BracketMaker.com to run a bracket challenge for the individual events for the fencing world championships. We ran similar brackets in 2009 and 2010.

Prizes!

The winner of each bracket (one bracket per each of the 6 individual events) wins bragging rights + a 2011 World Championships T-Shirt. The top-4 get Fencing.Net T-Shirts. One overall winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to Fencing.Net’s online store.

Brackets need to be entered the day before the individual event starts, which means the first events close tonight.

Fixed those.

The WS table on the official site is missing the result for whoever should be #36 in the bracket. Trying to figure out from the results that have been posted.

[Sinestra]

Here's hoping I can repeat in MS this year! And maybe make slightly less uninformed predictions in the others

There be mistakes in the WE tables too.

2 people correctly predicted today's final 4 in Women's Foil.

On the other hand, my MS predictions sucked the big one.

[erooMynohtnA]

So did everyone's, I think. Crazy upsets.

Yup. All those Yaki fans are feeling pretty bad now.

[erooMynohtnA]

Interestingly enough, the top 7 brackets all picked him to win (for now anyway).

Oh come on. Not even in the top 10? That sucks.

[Superscribe]

[Inquartata]

Yup. All those Yaki fans are feeling pretty bad now.

And after that recent puff piece on all Bauer has done for the Russians, too! Nothing better as a jinx...

Jung could be a polish name. More likely Silesian or even German.

I hear there's a lot of Middle Easterners living in France now.
