Justification for All-Ivy
The method for determining All-Ivy status in fencing is a fairly simple one.
First, fencers must have competed in 75 percent of the team’s bouts. That means that the men must have at least 12 decisions on the Ivy record and the women must have at least 14 decisions.
Of those groups, the top fencers in terms of winning percentage at each weapon are first-team All-Ivy. In the event of a tie for third place, all fencers who are tied will be named to the first team.
The second team will be comprised of the number resulting in six minus the number of first-teamers. If four fencers earned first-team status, two will be added to the second team.
Again, all ties for the sixth-place finish will result in those fencers being named to the second team.
