QUALIFICATION SYSTEM
GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Individual events
The individual event brings together about 39 fencers for each weapon that has a team event and
about 24 fencers for the weapons that do not have a team event. The number of participants in
individual weapon disciplines may vary according to the distribution of fencers by weapon of the
host country.
Team events
The team event brings together 8 or 9 teams for each weapon, i.e. eight teams qualified by the
team qualification system, in addition to the team of the host country, if any.
10 events
212 fencers:
According to item 1 below: 4 x 39 = 156
According to item 2 below: 2 x 24 = 48
8 = 8 (host country)
Total 212
DETAILED QUALIFICATION SYSTEM
1) Qualification for weapons for which there is an individual event and a team event
a) Team qualification
The teams will be of 3 fencers, i.e. 8 teams, 24 fencers for each weapon, plus a team from the
host country if applicable. These teams will be selected as follows:
The first four teams in the FIE Official Team Ranking (OR), irrespective of which zone. If
an NOC declines its qualification, the team ranked fifth will qualify, then the team ranked sixth,
etc.
The highest-ranked team from each zone in the Adjusted FIE Team Official Ranking
(AOR). If an NOC declines its qualification, the second team of the same zone in the Adjusted
FIE Team Official Ranking qualifies. If a zone is not represented at all, or by only one team, but
its participation is not approved by its NOC, the following highest-ranked team, irrespective of
which zone, qualifies.
b) Individual qualification
For each weapon, 24 fencers in the team competition will be selected.
The 3 highest ranked fencers in the FIE individual AOR, with only one fencer from any
one country.
The 7 highest ranked fencers from the FIE individual AOR* by zone (2 from Europe, 2
from Asia-Oceania, 2 from America and 1 from Africa) with only one fencer from any one
country.
The 5 highest ranked fencers from a zone-qualifying event (2 from Europe, 1 from Asia-
Oceania, 1 from America and 1 from Africa) with only one fencer from any one country.
In no case may a country qualify more than 3 fencers for any one weapon discipline and
selection by the FIE individual AOR and by the FIE individual AOR by zone is reserved for
countries that do not have fencers qualified by team.
The zone-qualifying event is therefore open (1 fencer per country) only to those countries that
have no-one selected by team or by the FIE individual AOR or by the FIE individual AOR by
zone.
AOR * The Adjusted Official Ranking is the FIE Official Ranking modified as follows:
For the weapon in which there is a team event, we remove the names of all the fencers
from those countries who have qualified by team. Then we keep the 2 highest-ranked
fencers per country and per zone.
Total fencers for individual disciplines, for those weapons for which there is a team
event: 24+15 = 39 fencers.
2) Individual qualification for weapon disciplines for which there is no team event
There are 24 places for each weapon discipline that are divided as follows:
In no case may a country qualify more than 2 fencers per weapon.
• the first 8 of the FIE individual Adjusted Official Ranking, 2 fencers maximum per
country;
• the first 8 of the FIE individual AOR by zone, 1 fencer per country, (3 for Europe, 2
for Asia-Oceania, 2 for America and 1 for Africa );
• the first 8 from the zone-qualifying event (1 fencer per country and per weapon)
which are open to those countries which have no-one selected by the two preceding
criteria for the weapon concerned (3 for Europe, 2 for Asia-Oceania, 2 for America and
1 for Africa).
AOR * The Adjusted Official Ranking is the FIE Official Ranking modified as follows:
For the weapons in which there is no team event, we keep only the 2 highest-ranked
fencers per country, and all the other names are removed.
QUALIFICATION OF THE HOST COUNTRY
The host country will have the right to enter 8 fencers, to be distributed between team and
individual events as it sees fit: thus, it could enter teams, or have no team and select for only the
individual events.
TRIPARTITE COMMISSION INVITATION PLACES
The deadline for NOCs to submit their requests for Tripartite Commission Invitation places is
15 November 2007. The allocation of Invitation places will be confirmed, in writing, to the
NOCs from April-July 2008. However, no places will be allocated for such Invitations within the
fencing quota. Any places unused by the host country of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing will
be reallocated by the Tripartite Commission (IOC, NOC, FIE). Invitation requests may be
matched with any unused host country places in agreement between the FIE and the IOC by
(date to be confirmed).

DATES/PROCEDURE FOR CONFIRMING PLACES
The FIE will send the names of the fencers qualified though the AOR and the zone qualification
event to the national federations on 12 May 2008. National federations will have to confirm to
the FIE, before midnight of 31 May 2008, that the participation of each fencer qualified has
been approved by the NOC of the country concerned.
From 2 June, the FIE will re-allocate the places which have not been confirmed by the
NOCs.
RE-ALLOCATING UNUSED QUOTA PLACES
If national federations do not meet the deadline of 31 May 2008 to confirm the participation of a
qualified fencer, the FIE will thus re-allocate the places available as follows:
If a zone does not have a fencer ranked in the FIE Official Ranking, it is the highest-ranked
fencer in the weapon discipline concerned, irrespective of the zone, who qualifies, provided that
the country he/she belongs to does not already have in that weapon discipline :
- 3 fencers qualified (for weapon disciplines for which there is a team event) or ;
- 2 fencers qualified (for weapon disciplines for which there is no team event).
In the event that the NOC of a country declines the participation of one qualified fencer:
• If the fencer is qualified through theAOR , the qualification will be re-allocated to the
fencer ranked next
• If the fencer is qualified through the zone AOR, he/she will be replaced by the nextranked
fencer in the same zone
• If the qualification was obtained through the zone-qualifying event, the qualification will
be attributed to the fencer ranked next in this event.
