Canadian Elite Format: We will be using the OLD format of the Canadian Elite tournaments (also known as Canadian Selection Circuit events).
- 1 Round of Pools - 100% promoted
- Straight DE to the round of 16
- Round of 16 is fenced as two double stripped pools of 8.
- 4 fencers promoted from each pool.
- Final DE of 8 - table looks like this: 1A-4B, 3A-2B,2A-3B,4A-1B. This is done so your first DE in the 8 is against someone from the other pool.
