Rankings
How the ranking system works
A fencer's ranking score is the SUM of their best 5 ranking-point results over a rolling 12-month window (by event date), computed separately for each weapon / gender / age permutation.
Points per event come from log(place) / log(entries), scaled to a 16-entry baseline, so beating a large field is worth more than the same placing in a small one. Tied placings (e.g. semi-final losers) share a place.
