* The AYC Teams events are 4 teams of 4 fencers made from the top fencers from the individual events. Fencers will be asked if they want to participate between the pools and DE. The top 16 fencers in the individual results that agree will be selected. The 4 teams will be formed along the following principle:
| Team | Ranked fencers |
| Team 1 | 1,8,9,16 |
| Team 2 | 2,7,10,15 |
| Team 3 | 3,6,11,14 |
| Team 4 | 4,5,12,13 |
If there are less than 16 fencers, these numbers will be adjusted utilising the above principle. This will be determined by the DT at the time.
