The first criteria for seeding after pools will be percent victories (1st). It doesn't matter how many touches. If the percent of victories is tied the next criteria (2nd) will be Indicator (Difference between hits sent vs hit received.) If the indicator is tied (3rd) than the person who sent more hits seeds above the person who sent less. Hope that clarifies.

Glad our shenanigans helped! Feel free to share with those who would benefit from this!

Glad you liked it!

It's for students/parents of students of the sport like yourself that we made this. Glad to have helped! Feel free to spread the word for those who want the explanation!

same lmao

hahaha same xD

SAMEEEE (plus battle talent (vr game) )

Same lol

Glad we can help. It's common for fencers to be ADHD. The beauty of the sport is that it happens at the speed of our brains. ;) So, if you can learn to slow things down a hair in order to learn it, you brains and body will appreciate being able to go the speed it wants.

@@cyranosplace8356 muscle memory is the most important thing for me, personally. I have around 10% vision on my right eye, so I have to be quick to react to more than just visual cues. Parry 5 in particular is one I have to compensate for. Despite being on my right as well, parry 3 isn't too difficult for me. Oddly enough, I struggle the most with parry 4, despite being on my good side. I guess I've put less effort into it, and as such gotten less practice.

@@DS_DoggerX Suggestion: trying drilling with a partner/coach with your eyes closed. This forces you to 'see' with your body/fingers or kinetically. If you give yourself a chance, there is SO MUCH you can 'see' with your fingers that one frequently doesn't 'see' when their eyes are open. Let us know if that helps!

@@cyranosplace8356 that sounds like an interesting challenge, and one that would be a good learning experience. I'll give that a shot!

You can make it as large/small as you like. The cardboard in back is to protect surfaces behind the target.

This is a 'snippet' of the entire project I'm still working on. In the full version, we have a couple of your amazing women to share their thoughts! So, stay tuned. More to come!!!

@@cyranosplace8356 Brilliant! :-)

Have you asked them?

@@MsWageSlave I asked women in the fencing community to answer a series of questions last winter. Over 30 responded. This is a very small piece of the material I have to put together to Celebrate women in Fencing.

@@cyranosplace8356 I used to fence not so at the minute. I really liked this. I'm in the UK.

You are welcome to come by our club and test it out yourself! We have a couple of them. Rocky River HS have 3 for training!

I believe that's the camera angle.

You are exactly who our target audience is! New Fencers! You've embarked on a wonderful journey in our sport! Should their be something you would like clarified, we would love to hear from you. Because if you have questions, someone else does too. And, we are here to help. Info at CyranosPlace dot info

@@cyranosplace8356 Thank you so much! I love the way you explain in your videos, it really helps me, especially seeing you do it multiple times. One thing that gets me is different opponents' fencing styles. What I mean by that is that different people have a different playing style, so it would be so amazing if there was a video on how to attack and defend against the main styles people use. Styles meaning : Fencers who play offense and wait for you to attack, fencers who hit your blade a lot and move around a lot to confuse you, and also left handed fencers, etc. I hope you understand what I'm talking about since this would be really helpful for me and other new fencers. Again thank you so much!

@@urmom-ci3rs This is a more in depth conversation. If you wish to call, you and other fencers are welcome to call us at 216-227-DUEL. If we can break what you are asking into small enough parts, we can potentially make a video.

Though the angle isn't great, I wouldn't argue with you that 2:40 looks like attack left. But four Attack in Preparations for FotR in the first half resulted in that call and defined the bout, not the other way around. Not sure it's contentious though, so much as difficult to see and call consistently.

We love him in Ohio! Send us more wonderful people like him!

Maybe sometime, you folks can come up for our RYC. Look forward to seeing more of my fencing family.

'Uncle Joe' was a gem! He LOVED to wear bad pun t-shirts to events. Always a smile and positive attitude even when telling about something negative. I will miss that awesome human being!

Yes, you are correct!

Final strength of a tournament depends on placement of fencers. There is a 'cheat sheet' that explains the requirements for a tournament to be a B2 event. For a tournament to be rated, there are 2 requirements. So many rated fencers in the field to start. And, how many of those rated fencers must be in the top X fencers. If a rated fencer loses their DE bout before that round, it could effect the strength of the event.

I think I didn't phrase it correctly. When someone exits the pool the 12th seed, what can occur to have the fencer finish lower than their seed? Is it just someone with a lower seed than 12 upsetting someone with a higher seed than 12? Or are there other factors?

@@michaelrickert1284 The placement is based on the round that the fencer achieves. If the fencer is seeded 1st but loses in the round of 16, they obviously don't finish 1st. They would finish 9th. The final placement is based on the round finished. In other words, you look at everyone that was knocked out in that round, and the higher seed finish higher in that round than the lower seed. Again, this is why seeding matters. ;)

USA Fencing result submission for regional cups and such are connected with Fencing Time. I find Fencing Time is like tournaments for 'dummies'. It's very easy, explanatory, easy to teach. The biggest 'problem' with any software is getting the initial database set up. With Fencing Time, you can download it directly from Askfred, and all is compatible. Over time, the database set's itself up. Once the tournament has been set up, I've had my daughter run my tournaments as young as 12. (Yes, her work is checked before next rounds are started. No, she's not a fencer. ) I'm familiar with other software that is quite efficient. But, haven't used them tournament after tournament. Hope that's helpful.

feel free to share with those who want explanation!

Knowing how the sport has evolved helps understand what one is dealing with, we believe. It also gives an understanding on how to potentially improve... it also says how long some of us have been around collecting moss... ;)

Then you are the KEY audience for our channel. Tell your friends! Stay tuned!

The only 'problem' with that is if you are on a floor that can be scratched up. Another way is to put a glove (probably folded) under the heal of the foot for the same drill.
