How do international fencing tournaments work?

Even for very experienced fencers, the international tournament scene can be pretty confusing, and the FIE doesn’t exactly make it easy to figure out. Hopefully this video will serve as a general overview of how world rankings and international tournaments work, without getting too lost in the details.

Pretty much all the information in this video is available somewhere on the FIE website, primarily https://app.fie.org/fie/documents/rules.
