West Pre-Regional Men's Seeds »

The following seeding data is based on any sanctioned team dual-meet results during the 2009-10 academic year. Note that these seedings are very important to qualification for the NCAA Championships (40% based on seeding; 60% based on Regional performance/finish). Each team can qualify a maximum of two fencers per weapon.

The West Region currently is allocated two entrants from each women's weapon into the NCAA Championship round-robin field (which is 24 fencers per weapon, filled out by entrants from the four regions). After all of the regional qualifiers are placed into the NCAA field, there also are two at-large spots in each weapon (again, each team still is limited to two entrants). 

A couple other notes and clarifications: (1) any fencer winning an NCAA Regional weapon title automatically qualifiers for the NCAAs (regardless of seeding factor; this happened in 2009 for a Stanford women's fencer); (2) if a team has more than two fencers falling within the regional qualification standard (i.e. top-5 for the Midwest), the coach can select which fencers will comprise the two NCAA entrants.

Based on the seedings listed below, the Stanford women are in position for three automatic NCAA qualifiers, followed by two from UC San Diego and one from Air Force ... of course, much of that could change based on how the various contenders end up fencing today.
