En Garde Challenge - team fencing for children born 2009-2012

Hi, 

Join us for the second En Garde Challenge - a friendly competition initiated by our coach Julia and Filip from Bygdø. This year, it will be a team competition for children born in 2012-2009. 

Format of the competitions:

It is a team competition. Teams are built of 3-4 fencers. Preferably 3 to maximise fencing opportunities. The first round will be built of poules 3-4 teams followed by a classic elimination round. Poules will be assigned as randomly as possible. Ranking for the direct elimination will be based on poules results. When the team loses in direct elimination, they finish participating in the competition. Standard team competition rules apply (within reason, it is still a friendly competition). There will be no third-place match.

To ensure equitable opportunities for all participants, handicup will be given to younger fencers.

• the same age or one-year difference - no handicap.
• 2 years younger - double point counts as a single point to the younger fencer
• 3 years younger - a double point counts as a single point to the younger fencer, single point of a younger fencer counts as 2 points.

Before the competition starts, rules, procedures and the nature of team competition will be taught/reminded.
