COMPETITION CALENDARS FOR GBR SELECTION

Nominated Events:

These are the competitions where results contribute towards qualification standards for major international events, including European and World Championships. Athletes competing in nominated events will also be part of the GBR selection process.

They are also the events for which there will be a GBR selection process.

Background:

Navigating the selection process across Cadet, Junior, and U23 age groups—and across all genders and weapons (Foil, Epee, Sabre)—is complex, especially given the scheduling challenges posed by the European Fencing Confederation (EFC) and International Fencing Federation (FIE) calendars.
We aim to provide sufficient and accessible international opportunities for athletes to compete before major selections, while also maintaining a strong domestic pathway through British Ranking Competitions (BRCs). These UK-based competitions are crucial for athletes to earn the ranking points necessary for international selection consideration.

As a small sport, we face constraints such as the availability of referees and officials. Hosting multiple events on the same weekend can result in logistical challenges and fines if the required personnel aren’t provided.
