For those who missed it, from the agenda for the USFA Board of Directors meeting this last July 5th.
The basic proposed change was from the old system Minimum Competitors - 15 Rated Fencers Required - none Rated Fencers Must Finish - N/A Classifications Awarded - 1st = D; 2nd & 3rd = E each
to this
Minimum Competitors - 15 Rated Fencers Required - 4 Es or Higher Rated Fencers Must Finish - 2 Es or Higher in Top 8 Classifications Awarded - 1st = D; 2nd & 3rd = E each
The results from the BoD Meeting are reported as...
Just wanted to throw this out since it alters requirements for D1 events and goes into effect in about 8 days. Heads up.

I understand the thinking behind it (and do not disagree), but the current classification system is flawed enough that this is a stopgap at best.

Fine. Whatever. No matter how you change a system someone can come up with a way to game the system.
