Sabre Bio Band Competition Part 4
Date of event: 5th July 2025
Venue: Cardiff Academy of Fencing, Beignon Close, Cardiff. CF24 5PB
Check in for all categories: 11 am
Weapon: Sabre
Athletes have traditionally been split into age categories and fenced on a full adult piste. This is quite unusual as most other sports scale the size of the paying area to the athlete. for example Football, Tennis, Rugby etc.
For this competition we will be trialling alternative methods of separating athletes into categories to allow the piste to be scaled either to their height or maturation.
We will be running one round of poules traditionally on the full sized piste. Then running one round where athletes are split by height and use a piste scaled to their current size. Then a final round of poules separated on percentage towards predicted height and piste scaled to this percentage.
There will be a prize table with a selection of prizes. The winners of each format will get first choice from the table. Then the second place etc until all prizes have been chosen.
This event is open to sabre fencers aged 7-16years. Alternative kit may be provided during the event (such as a different sized weapon)
This event will also include an element of fight analysis where fencers will take home some useful fight data on their matches
