On Aug. 1, 2026, a new points and events structure takes effect for the Cadet, Junior and Division I categories. It changes two things: how our largest national events are run, and how points are earned and counted.
We've explained it in three parts, and they build on each other. Start at the top if this is new to you, or jump to whichever piece answers your question.
Plus, we hosted a webinar to discuss these changes, which you can watch on demand here (passcode AM4B?NY=) and a podcast episode, which you can listen to here.

We wanted to confirm some additional updates we've settled since June, and share the full points tables.
Eligibility rules, points tables, qualification criteria, and more should be confirmed in 2026–27 Athlete Handbook
Starting Aug. 1, 2026, the way Cadet, Junior and Division I fencers earn points will look different.
