it is for this same reason that we have chosten for our setting (See Concept in sub menu). The competition will start on the 1st of january,( registrations open on the 15th of December) until the 30th of June. Everyone can subscribe at any time in the tournament.
For safetyreasons, always follow the local rules against the Corona Pandemic. We know after restrictioned periods there follow periods with less restricting measures. For this reason we run this project 6 mounths so the chanses of meeting and competing are bigger.
General Rules

So please… Play fair and follow the rules. Complaining and/or notifications of unfair play van be done using the mailing form on www.excineribusgrimbergen.be.

Each Fencer is attributed with a Fencing Number. This is your personal ID number in the fencing tournament. It will be marked on your Fencing ID Card and Fencing Score Card.
There is a temporary maximum of 15 participants, giving 14 fights. When time and structure alows us and there is enough animo, we might raise this number.

How to fill in : there is an example included in the appendix on how to fill in the score card.
After the match, it is time to fill in the score cards. Just fill in (1) the name of the opponent, (2) his or her fencing number and (3)the name and (4) the number of the winner of the match. Poorly filled in or illegible cards might be refused in the registration leading to no registration of the results.
Take a photo of fencing ID card of both fencers AND the Fencing score card in one picture. By photographing your fencing cards and score card both fencers agree upon the score and declare it as valid. Pictures and scores that do not contain the 2 fencing and scorecard can be rejected and be marked as invalid. The scores will not be taken into account.

New info
If you have won your match pleas register your match in submenu "registration" using the app ( see "Concept" in submenu)
For the basic rule sets of fencing bouts we refer to the rule sets in the submenu. Each fencing match can give you one point in the tournament system.
A won match= 1 point
A lost match = 0 points.
Each fencer is evaluated in the following way. There are 3 variables.
1) absolute number of won matches
2) participation rate (= fights fought/ fights possible)
3) winning rate (=fights won / fights fought)
The fencer with the highest absolute number of won machtes will be declared the winner at the end of the tournament. In case of ex aequo we will look at the efficiency Index of the fencer(= Participation rate / winning rate). We chose for this second parameter since the scoop of this project is not only about winning, but also about participating and meeting new people. So in case of an Ex Aequo in won fights the person with more fights fought, gains the advantage.
Ending of the tournament
The tournament ends on the 30th of June or when all fencers have fenced eachother once. Registrations after the 30th of June are invalid.
At the end of the Tournament there will be a price of the winner, second and third place. Winning participants outside the Lowland might be charged with extra costs for sending their prices.
