USFA Letter Rating FAQs:
What is a classification?
A classification is a letter from A to E (with A being the highest) that is
earned in competition. An unclassified fencer is a "U". The
classification reflects the skill level of a fencer. A classification includes
the letter assigned as well as the year in which it was last earned, for
example "A02", which would be an A earned in 2002. Classifications
are valid for four years, at which point they revert to the next
lowest letter or to U if the classification has not been re-earned within the
four-year period.
How can I earn a classification?
You can earn a classification at most USFA sanctioned National, Regional,
or Local tournaments. USFA sanctioned means that the National Office, a USFA
section, or a USFA division is conducting the tournament. You can the event
requirements for awarding classifications in the Athlete Handbook, which is available free to download on
our website, or printed from our office for a small fee
Why hasn't my classification changed?
We haven't received the results from that tournament. The division, or bout
committee chair of that tournament needs to send us the results for
verification, and then we will change it. We change classifications only
when we have official results justifying the change.
See the USFA Website for more information.
