FencStats helps fencers build a profile around real bout history and progress. Create your athlete profile, log your bouts, track scores and review your statistics over time. Privacy-aware fencer discovery helps users find visible profiles without turning private performance data into public data. This page focuses on live athlete features: profiles, bout logging, score tracking, fencing statistics, progress review and opponent history. Coach and club tools are being rolled out gradually, and video analysis remains planned rather than live.
A FencStats profile carries the basics: name, weapon focus, level, handedness, club association and nationality, alongside your bout history and progress data. Profile fields are optional so newcomers and elite athletes can fill in only what they want to share.
Other fencers can find you through visible profile fields and shared club context, but only if you have made yourself discoverable. Visibility is opt-in per profile field, and discovery never exposes private bout data, it only surfaces what you have agreed to show.
Each fencer profile carries its own dashboard with win rate, touch balance, weapon splits, monthly trends and recent bouts. The dashboard is built from your own logged bouts, so the data is yours, the context is yours, and the view stays consistent whether you have ten bouts or a thousand.
When two FencStats fencers meet on the strip, head-to-head context becomes available: how many times they have crossed, the most recent result and the trend direction. The data comes from logged bouts, not external rankings, so the picture stays grounded in actual matchups.
Beyond linked fencers, every opponent name you log builds a private opponent record, even when the opponent does not have a FencStats account. That history is yours to review, so you can prepare for a rematch with a real list of past scores instead of a vague impression.
A profile can connect to a coach via the early-access coach workspace and to a club via invite-only club access. Both connections are controlled by you. Coaches see what you have agreed to share, clubs see member-level context, and you can leave either relationship without losing your bout history.
A fencer profile is more than a name and a weapon. It is the place every other part of FencStats hangs off, the bout history that creates stats, the opponent records that feed head-to-head context, the coach connection that turns notes into useful feedback, the club membership that signals where you train. Built up consistently, the profile becomes a working biography of your fencing rather than a list of social-network fields.
The fields themselves are deliberately optional. New users can start with just a name and a weapon focus. Athletes who care about visibility, for instance fencers in national rankings or club captains, can fill in level, handedness, nationality, club affiliation and a short bio. None of that is required to use the bout tracking and stats; it just shapes how the profile reads to someone else looking at it.
The point is that profile fields and performance data are kept separate in principle. Your name and your nationality are profile fields; your win rate and touch balance are stats. Both live under the same profile but follow different visibility rules.
FencStats treats fencer data the way the fencer would: private until proven worth sharing. Bout history is invisible to other accounts unless you have generated a share link or granted a coach access. Profile fields are visible only when you have opted them into discovery. The defaults lean toward closed; opening up is a deliberate action, not the consequence of forgetting to flip a switch.
The reason for that posture is not paranoia, it is realism. Performance data is competitive data. A junior fencer working on a weakness should not have to worry that an opponent at a regional event has been scraping their stats overnight. The privacy-aware model says no: you decide what is visible, and you can change your mind. The same applies to clubs, coaches and discovery.
Where sharing happens, it is scoped. A bout share link shares one bout, not the whole history. A coach relationship shares what the athlete chose to expose, not the entire profile. A club connection makes the user a club member, not a public roster entry.
The fencer dashboard is the page you open the day after a competition or the morning of a training week. It is intentionally narrow: a small set of metrics that mean something at a glance and the bouts that drove them. Win rate sits at the top. Touch balance is one click away. Weapon splits and monthly trends are below the fold, where they should be when you want them but not in your face every time.
The dashboard is built from your own logged bouts. There is no external feed, no auto-imported data, no opaque calculation. If a bout is on the dashboard, you logged it. If a stat looks wrong, the underlying bouts are accessible from the same view so you can audit it. The transparency is part of the design.
For athletes who fence multiple weapons or compete across regions, the dashboard becomes the practical place to switch context. Filter to sabre and the dashboard shifts to sabre stats. Filter to competition only and the dashboard ignores training bouts. The view follows the question you are asking.
Fencing is a sport of repeat opponents. The same names appear on the strip across years, in different uniforms, with different coaches, sometimes at different weapons. Head-to-head history turns that recurring contact into something usable. How many times have you fenced this opponent? What was the most recent score? Are recent bouts trending in your favour or away?
FencStats builds head-to-head context from your own logged bouts. When the opponent is also a FencStats user with a visible profile, the context is richer because both sides of the matchup are recognised. When the opponent is just a name on your record, the data still works on your side, it stays in your private opponent history and feeds your preparation even if the opponent never joins.
The dataset becomes most valuable once it has depth. Five bouts against the same fencer is a pattern. One bout is anecdote. The tracker keeps both, but the head-to-head card only starts to feel useful around the third or fourth meeting.
An individual profile is the starting point. Coaches and clubs become useful once the individual data has accumulated some shape. FencStats handles that progression deliberately: athletes log first, then bring a coach in through the early-access coach workspace, then optionally connect to a club through the invite-only club workspace. Each step is opt-in.
The early-access coach workspace gives a coach a view of linked athletes, those who have agreed to a coach-athlete relationship, with progress signals and bout context. It is not a global roster of every FencStats user. The relationship model is one-to-one between coach and athlete, and either side can end the relationship without affecting the athlete bout history.
Club workspace is invite-only while the team-level features mature. When it is active for a club, members get a shared context, admins can manage rosters and approve join requests, and coaches can be associated with the club. None of that overrides the underlying privacy model on individual profiles, clubs see member-level context, not unfiltered bout dumps.

FAQ
Yes. FencStats is built around individual fencer profiles. Each profile carries your bout history, scoreboard, fencing stats, opponent history and weapon focus, and serves as the place coaches and clubs eventually plug into when you grant them access.
No. Profiles are private by default and discovery is opt-in. You choose which fields are visible, whether you appear in discovery and whether other fencers can request to connect. Private bout data is never made public regardless of profile visibility settings.
Yes. Every opponent you log builds an opponent record in your private history. If the opponent also uses FencStats and has chosen to be visible, the record is enriched with head-to-head context; otherwise it stays as a name in your own bout history, fully under your control.
Coaches in the early-access coach workspace see the athletes who have agreed to a linked-coach relationship. The coach can review bout context and progress signals for those athletes, but the access is scoped to the relationship. Coaches do not have a global view of every fencer.
Discovery looks across visible profiles, shared clubs and opponents from your bout history. You will primarily see fencers who have made themselves discoverable. The intent is to keep discovery useful for connecting with real teammates and rivals without turning private data into a directory.
Your profile carries the same stats you see on your dashboard: win rate, touch balance, weapon splits, monthly trends, derived from the bouts you have logged. Whether those stats are visible to other fencers depends on your visibility settings; the stats themselves stay yours regardless.
Clubs in the invite-only club workspace see member-level context based on the relationships you have agreed to. Club admins and coaches see what is needed to operate the club roster; they do not get unrestricted access to every member bout. Membership is reversible.
Yes. Account deletion removes your profile and the bout history attached to it. Linked fencers will no longer see your side of any head-to-head context, and your opponent records on other fencers transition to anonymous history. The deletion path is in your account settings.
No. FencStats does not sell, syndicate or share profile data with third parties. The only sharing that happens is between FencStats accounts and only when you have explicitly granted access, to a coach, to a club, or via a bout share link you have generated yourself.
