Best 5 results from the 6 rounds contribute to final ranking scores.
In the event of a points tie in the final ranking scores, the tied fencers (2 or more) will be separated as follows:
- Tied fencers will be ordered according to the number of 1st place finishes in all 6 rounds
- Rankings not decided by number of 1st places will then be determined by the number of 2nd place finishes in all 6 rounds
- Rankings not decided by number of 2nd places will then be determined by the number of 3rd place finishes in all 6 rounds
- …and so on until the tied places are decided.
If the above processes are exhausted without separating the tied fencers then a tie will be declared. For example, if two fencers are tied for 1st place then both will be declared winners. The next fencer will be awarded 3rd place. If two fencers are tied for 2nd place then both will be declared joint 2nd and no 3rd place would be awarded.
