What are point standings?

Point standings are calculated based on placement in National tournaments. This is often abbreviated as NRPS (national rolling point standings). The standings can be viewed on the USFA web page, under the Points heading (they are broken down by weapon category, and age classification). As the fencing year progresses, points earned at past tournaments are replaced with the equivalent tournament results from the current year.

The Colorado Division also maintains it's own points standings, seperate from the NRPS. The categories are Mixed, Women's, Veteran's, and Y14, Y12, and Y10. At the end of the season, the top four finishers in each category recieve awards recognizing their achievment.
