At least four months prior to an event, athletes may make an "Application for Assessment of a Category E Event" by registering and paying the fee. This application process is largely governed by Sections 3.10 to 3.13 of the Policy.  The information to be included in this Application is as follows:

• Competition name
• Application Age Category, Gender, Weapon
• Competition location
• Competition timing (i.e. date)
• Expected format of competition
  • How many rounds of poules
  • How many hits per pool bout
  • What percentage are promoted to the direct elimination
  • Whether there is a repechage
  • How many hits per DE bout
  • Expected approximate number of fencers in competition
  • Expected approximate number of fencers promoted to the direct elimination
• Contact details for responsible body
  • Name of body
  • Name of person
  • Email or phone number
• Web site for previous years' results - a direct link must be provided if possible

1. The Athlete submits the Application, as above.
2. The Selection Commission will endeavour to acknowledge receipt of the Application.
3. Within two weeks of the Application, the Selection Commission will send to the Athlete, with a copy to webmaster@fencing.org.au, rankings@fencing.org.au, and to operations@fencing.org.au, the result of their Assessment.
4. The Assessment will usually take the form of a Multipler of the points awarded under the Selection Policy Appendix A for the equivalent Age Category Oceania Championships (held outside Australia).
5. Where the Selection Commission does not provide a formal Assessment within the two weeks mandated under the Selection Policy, a default assessment will be deemed to have taken place, allocating a Multiplier of one (1).
6. This Assessment will be published here: >Overseas events assessed for ranking points  and will appear there until such time as the event has taken place.

Athletes should note that the allocation of points in one gender / weapon within a tournament does not imply the allocation of points in any other gender / weapon, and that a previous year's allocation of points is no indicator of future years.
