NEW BRITISH RANKING COMPETITION STRUCTURE 2024-25

New structure for U20, U17 and U14 British Ranking Competitions from 2024-25 season onwards.

In addition to ‘A’ and ‘B’ BRC events, ‘C’ and ‘D’ BRC events will now be included within the competition structure for U20 (Junior), U17 (Cadet) and U14 age groups.

The purpose of the domestic competition structure is to:

  • Support new fencers starting on their competitive journey at all levels.
  • Create safe, fun, and competitive environments for fencers to enjoy their sport.
  • Provide a clear route for fencers seeking future GBR Selection through domestic competitions.
  • Provide all fencers that compete in a registered domestic competition with a GB ranking at the recognised age categories.

British Ranking competitions (BRCs) must be registered and sanctioned through BF. If approved by BF, they will appear on the GBR Calendars.

The addition of C and D events means that existing competitions, such as series events and local events can now be included within the rankings for U20, U17 and U14 age groups.
