Current ratings can be verified here: https://member.usfencing.org/search/members Current points standings can be verified here: http://www.usfencing.org/current-point-standings Seeding will be determined by the following criteria, in this order: 1. Current national Rolling Point Standings according to age group and weapon. This filters down the entire list, not just the top 32 as done in a NAC 2. Letter Ranking with year classification. 3. Athletes with neither of the above are seeded in a random basis after the athletes who are seeded by the preceding factors. It is the fencer’s responsibility to notify the Bout Committee of any registration discrepancies before the close of check-in for the event (i.e. wrong club, wrong rating, misspelled name, etc).
