Fencing
2007, March 8th:
Preliminary competitions in fencing took place Wednesday at Vanier School. Competition to the quarter-final level were in foil, female, foil, male and in team foil, both male and female.
Preliminary competitions were also held in sabre, female and male, team sabre for male and female and epee, female and male. Each team fences a round where fencers on their team fence each other (bouts within teams). Then every provincial team fences every other team, using the round-robin formula.
This classifies fencers individually, who are ranked according to the number of victories achieved during a competition, as well as allowing classification of teams, who are ranked according to the number of team victories. Semi-finals and advancements continue today, Day 14.
