Use this to understand the competitive context behind a fencer's results — a 5-0 pool record at an Elite event tells a very different story than the same record at a Light event.
This can also serve as a guide for planning next season. Looking for strong competition to test yourself against top-rated opponents? Target events that consistently rank Elite or Strong. Want to build confidence and accumulate wins? Look for events that tend to draw lighter fields. Many events recur annually with similar field strength, so this season's data is a good predictor for next season.
We analyzed all Foil events this season so that parents and fencers can make informed decisions about which tournaments to attend next year.
