Any fencer can only compete in one category at each event. If, at an event, any category has insufficient fencers to run a competition, then fencers in that category may be moved up to the next age group above them. Fencers moving up will remain within their own gender group. Under-16 categories will be cancelled if numbers are insufficient. Fencers can move up an age group for development reasons. This must be agreed with the organizers before entry to the competition concerned.
