- The official gameThe FIE writes the rules. Knockout bouts are three periods of 3 minutes.
- How groups differCasual games often skip right of way and count the first clean touch. Agree before you start.
- There are three weapons: foil, épée and sabre. Each has its own target area.
- Foil: hit the torso with the point. Épée: hit anywhere on the body with the point. Sabre: hit above the waist with the point or the edge.
- In foil and sabre, the fencer who attacks first has right of way. In épée, whoever hits first scores, and both can score together.
- Electronic scoring lights up a touch. Without it, a referee watches and calls it.
- Stay on the 14 metre strip.
