Performance Rating System

TUFR Leaderboard

True Universal Fencing Rating — adapts after every bout, weighing opponent strength, score margin, and recency to reward consistency and quality of performance.

Congratulations to this week's TUFR Leaders!

Every touch, every bout, and every climb reflects the true spirit of fencing.

TUFR is FencingBuddies' proprietary performance rating system designed to give competitive fencers a more complete and meaningful picture of their progress than tournament placements alone.

What Goes Into Your TUFR Score
Opponent Strength
Beating a highly-rated opponent moves your score more than beating a lower-rated one. Losing to a stronger fencer hurts less than losing to a weaker one.
Score Margin
A 15-1 win and a 15-14 win are not equal. TUFR recognizes dominant performances and close victories differently.
Recency
Your most recent results carry more weight than older ones. TUFR reflects where you are today, not where you were two years ago.
Tournament Field Strength
Performing well at a large competitive national tournament carries more weight than the same result at a small regional event.
