Colorado Cup Point Standings
The Colorado Cup is a series of local senior-level competitions held within the Colorado Division. Fencers who compete in these competitions are awarded points based on their results. At the end of the season, plaques are awarded to fencers who finish in the top three of the points standings. Fencers must compete in a minimum number of competitions to be eligible for a plaque: Vets must fence at least 2 cups, seniors fence 3/6 cups, youth fence minimum of 3 cups to get a plaque.
Due to Covid 19 shortening the 2019-2020 season, there will be no plaques given.
