2011 Ranking System Changes
Change
In
addition to all satellite events, the stronger UK opens will now be
included in the ranking as from start of 2011-12 season.
Why
The
reason for the change is to continue to align our WC selection
criteria to the ranking system. Previously we stipulated that fencers
succeed in Satellites before they fence in WC's. However, they do not
win ranking points for this effort/expense. However, as in some
weapons there are very few satellite competitions, Selectors have
recommended the addition of the stronger UK opens.
Current
system:
A
- Satellite events and Welsh Open (for WS, WF)
B - Flagship
Domestic plus Merseyside
C - Domestic events
D - Novice
competitions
2011
System
SA
- Satellite events
UK - Top UK opens (see detailed list
below)
A - Flagship domestic (Nationals, Irish Open and Northern
Ireland Open)
B - Domestic competitions (Souths, EoI, Vinnie,
Derry, Duffy, Fed Foil, Wests, etc.)
C - Novice competitions
(Inters, Student)
The
points would be distributed as per the attached document. However,
weightings in summary; Satellite - 3, UK Opens - 2, Flagship -
1.5, Domestic - 1, Novice - 0.66.
Note
The
best 6 results will still be used to calculate results.
--::--
The
fundamental principles of the ranking system are:
All
fencers who enter a tournament will receive ranking points
Almost
all Irish tournaments, along with the Northern Irish Open, attract
points
A
fencer's best 6 results go towards the total ranking for the year
The
ranking is calculated on a rolling basis
Tournaments
are weighted in two tiers: Senior (which attract full points) and
Intermediate/Junior (which are weighted at 2/3)

Purpose
of Change
To
improve the level of fencing in Ireland by aiding the transition
between domestic and foreign events
To
aid fencers attain WC qualification by widening choice of
competitions
To
give the selectors more information with which to decide on team
choice, and make those choices more transparent. In normal
circumstances, the top 2 fencers in each weapon will receive
automatic selection to the 5 Nations.
