The following will apply:
• A minimum of 12 points is required to be eligible to win the award (introduced 2018).
• Two awards will be given if two competitors tie.
• No award is given if three or more competitors tie for first place.
• The Veterans’ sparring divisions have their own separate table and awards.
• *Points will not be awarded in the event of a competitor gaining a medal by default and therefore not had a competitive match in their division.
