The Allstar UK Youth Development Series has its own ranking system which runs across the 5 rounds of the competition - each fencer can count their best 4 results towards the final ranking list.

Please Note: Because there are no currently maintained and official Scottish Fencing (SF) rankings for u16's in any weapon, the Foundation try to maintain a parallel set of unofficial SF rankings to use for YDS NIF calculations and have used these calculations to finalise the NIF's for rounds 2, 3, 4 and 5.

Attached to this page are the 2009/10 YDS Final rankings.

Important Notes:
This ranking is in no way related to any Scottish Fencing (SF) Ranking list - only the official SF rankings are used to select squads and teams and any questions about selection processes should be referred to the relevant weapon co-ordinator as listed on the SF web-site.
For SF ranking calculation purposes the fencers who are placed 3rd and 4th respectively in a YDS competition will be treated as finishing 3rd equal (this reflects normal UK competition where all the places are not fenced off)
NEW 17/03: The NIF assigned to a fencer for Round 4 may differ significantly from that at Round 3 - this is due to the effect of the recent Scottish Schools Individual Championships. Fencers have moved up and down in the SF Unofficial rankings we maintain with a resulting change in their NIF value for YDS purposes.


Fencing points scheme are notoriously difficult to understand - and therefore the YDS ranking system is explained in the "YDS rankings explained" page here.
