A Division II/III qualifying competition has the following entries: Number of C fencers = 8 Number of D fencers = 12 Number of E fencers = 11 Number of U fencers = 15 Total Number of Fencers = 46 List the fencers in order of their finish. The first 12 who have not already qualified to Division II by other paths are qualifiers from the Division’s competition. Then count the number of D, E, and U fencers. In this example there are 38 such fencers. 25% of that group equals 10, the number of fencers who can qualify for Division III Nationals. Starting with the first fencer after those qualified for Division II (in this example, 13th place); count off the next 10 D, E, or U fencers who have not already qualified by other paths. These 10 D, E, or U fencers are qualified for Division III. (Any C fencers in this range are skipped, but not counted against the 10, because they are not eligible to fence Division III.)
