SELECTION TIMINGS FOR CADET AND JUNIOR EUROPEANS AND WORLDS 2024 ANNOUNCED

The purpose of announcing dates is to give athletes and BF ample time to plan training camps and travel, ultimately reducing travel costs and providing better performance opportunities at Major Championships.

Selections are based initially on meeting the qualification standard described in the selection policy. Qualification standards are based on the % finish figure* of the fencer’s performance at international competitions. Rankings are only used when more fencers have met standards than places available.

* % finish figure is the % of the fencer’s final competition placing against the number of fencers taking part in the competition.

2021 – 2022 International Results Raw Data
2022-2023 results coming soon

There are two parts to the selection process. First, fencers who meet the qualification standards will be selected. Then, if necessary, athletes who do not meet the standards will be considered after a further nominated competition.

Cadet and Junior Europeans and Worlds Selection Process.

For the Europeans, it starts at the selection point. This is when the rankings and results data are locked, the information is used in the selection, and the selection process starts.  Those fencers, up to four meeting the qualification standards, will be selected. At this point, and if the number of qualified fencers permits,  a team selection will be entered.

Further competitions may be used for discretionary selection, including teams. The process will also apply to Junior Worlds selection.

There is no cadet team competition at the Cadet World Championships; it will follow the two steps to allow fencers to meet the qualifying standard.
