Geoffrey Russell Cup
2024 sees the fourth running of Wiltshire's premier intra-club foil competition. Kris turned on the style to win the trophy last year, but who will reign supreme this time? Anyone could win, so there is no excuse not to get involved. Remember: the more fights you have, the more points you can score.
Rules
- Each fight is the first to 5 hits and a maximum of 3 minutes, with priority and one further minute if scores are level.
- Fencers are awarded their hits plus 2 extra points for a win and 1 extra point for a loss.
- All fights must be fought on electrics on a marked piste and must be presided and timed.
- Each pair of fencers may fight each other only once in the rounds.
Finals
As Dan was unable to attend on the final day, Pete (being 5th in the table) stepped in as replacement. The results were as follows:
| Semi-Final 1 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Nathanael | 15 | 12 | Pete |
| Semi-Final 2 | |||
| Devon | 15 | 6 | Eddie |
| Final | |||
| Nathanael | 15 | 10 | Devon |
So Nathanael is this year's Champion and Eddie wins the award for Best Novice. Congratulations to them both!
Standings
The standings will appear here after each club night. The top four will go through to the semi-finals.
If any two fencers are level on points, the one with the fewer hits conceded will rank higher. If they are still tied going into the semi-finals, a 1-hit fight will be held to break the tie.
