Speaking from a simple numbers perspective, there really aren't that many fighters that fight F/E. Out of 500+ fencers, less than 20 of those are even authorized and of those 20, I know of at least 10 personally that don't fight F/E so I am not even sure why or how they got authorized.<u></u><u></u></p>
