2009 Santa Fe ChallengeMay 16, 2009

Again, lots of good bouting for fencers in a competitive format.
This year the Challenge will be Epee only in a "Canadian" format having Super Pools
at the round of 16. WE and Y14E will be a regular tournament format.
In more detail:
Super Pools is a Canadian format to give the top 16 fencers an extra competitive format.
In the round of 16 the fencers will be split into two pools of eight for 5-touch bouts.
The pool results are then used to re-seed the fencers into the next round.
The top four seeds earn a bye and are placed directly into the top four spots of the round of eight.
The bottom four (13-16) are eliminated. The remaining eight fencers (5-12) fence a simple DE with the
top four finishers moving into the bottom (5-8) of the round of eight. The bottom four are eliminated.
A DE table of eight is then fenced to completion.
Confusing at first glance, but very fun. Again, lots of good bouting for fencers
in a competitive format.
