The CFF is aware that athletes wish to register for upcoming Satellite World Cups. While the 2023-24 Selection Handbook not yet published, all athletes should be aware of the criteria for registrations for Satellite World Cups as it will appear in the Handbook:

Selection Criteria for Non-Designated Satellite Senior World Cups

Selection Policies: Selection for non-designated Satellite World Cups will be made using the following criteria:

1. Only athletes listed on the High Performance rankings for that weapon and age category are eligible for selection.
2. CFF will select a maximum of 4 fencers for each non-designated Satellite World Cup.
3. Athletes will be selected according to the Senior HPP rankings as of registration deadline.

Entry Limitations: CFF will select a maximum of 4 fencers for each non-designated Satellite World Cup. No referee will be required.

Registration deadline: 14 days (2 weeks) before the first day of competition of the non-designated Satellite World Cup competition. Athletes should not make any travel arrangements until they have received an e-mail confirming that they have been registered.

Entry Procedures: please email hpc@fencing.ca

Non-designated Satellite World Cups will NOT count for HP points.

Withdrawals from FIE Competitions: Withdrawals must be received by the CFF by e-mail at hpc@fencing.ca, at least 14 days prior to the first day of the competition. Voice mail is not acceptable. Fencers withdrawing after the deadline or who do not show up at the competition will be fined $1,500.00 and will be suspended from any future international event registration until the fine is paid. This is a fine assessed by the FIE to the CFF and it will be passed on to the athlete at fault. Exceptions to this fine will be considered if the fencer is withdrawing due to a “force majeure “situation such as an injury or illness, which prevents the fencer from competing. Medical documentation from a doctor must accompany the withdrawal notice, which must be sent by e-mailed with the withdrawal request before the scheduled competition.
