Unless contained in the approved policy the cut-off dates for results counting towards selection are published in the calendars here.

As a reminder:

  1. British Fencing rankings are not used as qualification standards for World, European, Olympic, Paralympic selection/nomination.
  2. For 2025 World and European Championships the final individual placing percentages (used in the qualification standards) will be best three from ALL nominated competitions in same competitive category in the previous 12 months. This is due to the increasing rate of cancellation and re-locations in the FIE and EFC calendar and the reduction in numbers of international competitions being held in Europe (See item 53 in the GBR Selection Policy)
