  In the formula window, you can edit the parameters of poules and click on the modifiy button on the right. There is two parameters that can be set : "numbers of round for qualification" and "number of rounds for ranking". If you use "Qualification at the end of the poules on 1 round" with "Ranking at the end of the poules on 2 rounds", only the last round of poules will be used to determine if a fencer is qualified or not to enter the tableau (the two rounds will be used for the ranking to the tableau). If you use "Qualification at the end of the poules on 2 rounds" with "Ranking at the end of the poules on 2 rounds", the two rounds will be used also to determine if a fencer is qualified or not to enter the tableau (the two rounds will be used for the ranking to the tableau).
