UK School Games

The event will be held in Sunderland Tennis centre Thursday 2th September to Sunday 5th September. The selected fencers must commit to arriving & leaving on these dates & must attend the closing ceremony at 4pm, this will be communicated to all fencers in the invitations sent to them to check availability. To be eligible fencers must be born 1992-97 as well as meeting the England eligibility criteria described here. If the eligibility requirements of the UKSG differ from those of England, the UKSG rules will take precedence.

The date for selection will be the 1st March 10 but may be earlier if the rankings cannot change (see below). The team must be announced (with 1 reserve per event) to be announced by 1st April 10. At this point the fencers must complete their entry onto the UK School Games Event Management System.

There are 4 fencers allowed per event, these must be the same fencers for the individual & team events.

Selection for the first 2 places will be done from the U20 ranking list used for selecting the British team for the world championships (providing these 2 fencers are in the top 75% of the list)

Selection for the 3rd & 4th place will be made by selectors in each home country. Where fencers have not been selected for the first two places from the U20 ranking list by default, these two places will also be allocated by the selectors.

The selectors reserve the right to omit a fencer from selection if they deem that fencer’s disciplinary record to be unsatisfactory.
