PUBLIC SCHOOLS ATHLETIC LEAGUE
The P.S.A.L. 1940 Round Robin Fencing Tournament will begin on Saturday, February 17th. There are 16 New York City High Schools in the Fencing League, being divided into two Divisions of eight teams each. The eight teams in each Division are paired among themselves each Saturday for seven weeks until each team within a Division has fenced the seven other teams. The high teams in each Division meet on April 20th for the Team Championship. There will also be an Individual Championship which will be completed on May 10th.
Each team has 6 competitors with substitutes. These six fencers are graded from 1 to 6. A team meet consists of #1 and #2 fencing a round-robin with the opponents' #1 and #2; the same occurs between the #3's and #4's and the #5's and #6's, making a total of 12 bouts in each match. Bouts are only in foil. Individuals and teams showing the best form receive medals at the end of the season as well as the highest scoring individuals and teams.
