Congratulations!

Approaching the table of offences and sanctions in fencing with a comic is easy and fun. Everyone will enjoy it.

To our future Referees at the local, national or international level, I would add that refereeing is fun but requires a lot of practice. In a fencing match, each live situation experienced by the Referee, along with their (occasional wrong) decision, will remain a memorable experience. Altogether, these experiences will allow them to improve and increase their skills to eventually become top Referees.

Situations may sometimes be misjudged... but the Referee should never be ignorant of a rule!

With my very best wishes for an enjoyable and effectif training.

On guard - Ready? - Play!

It is the signal for which every fencer is waiting, once on the piste. The tension undergone before the match explodes and sets the stage for the pleasure of moving, confronting and fighting the other persan "while respecting the rules". Of practising a combat sport...

People daim that fencing is complicated; its rules difficult and very numerous.

Is it really the case?

The question to ask ourselves is: what are the rules intended for, and why are they necessary? It is difficult to answer this question in a paragraph, but here are some lines of thought:

We practise a combat sport. The first rule is to protect ourselves. Most of the rules serve this purpose.

Then, we are confronting other fencers. Rules are needed to decide who wins. Finally, fencing is a sport, we look for equal opportunities. Rules guarantee that all fencers use the same equipment.

The number of rules seems great, but many of them are applied to all three weapons. The Referee makes sure the rules are respected and sanctions any breaches.

In brief, the answer to the initial question amounts to three points:

Protect your health -decide who wins -equal opportunities

You will become a Referee!

"To practise fencing in competition, three people are necessary - Two fencers and a referee"

A fencing referee is the persan who manages matches during competitions. He has to apply the rules of the International Fencing Federation.

On guard!

Acquiring good knowledge of the rules is a boring operation, but it is essential to good refereeing. Throughout your training within your club, your fencing master teaches you the fencing rules.

You can become a referee as soon as you are 14 years old.

Referee training is inseparable from the fencers training, because as a fencer, you need to have good knowledge of the rules and their application during your matches in competitions.

Are you ready?

Trained as a referee, you learn that competition and results are not the only things that matter. Refereeing also allows you to gain confidence, because the referees manage, take decisions and apply the rules.

Go!

Referee as you would like to be refereed! Refereeing is training yourself to become a better fencer. Refereeing is taking responsibilities.

It's your turn to play!

YELLOW- RED- BLACK

Invented after the Soccer World Cup in 1966, the yellow and red cards are used today in many sports to indicate offences and penalties. In fencing, we use cards of 3 colours. The yellow one is a warning and the red one is the first penalty. The fencer takes a penalty touch for every sanctioned offence. In serious cases (offences of the third and fourth group), fencers are sanctioned by a black card. They are eliminated and have to leave the competition. Sanctioning is one of the prerogatives of the referee and, in particular cases, of the Directoire Technique. In certain situations, fencers can make an appeal.

Against a decision of the referee

t.172

No appeal can be made

against the decision of the Referee regarding a point of fact, except as permitted in o.105 and t.60-t.63 for video refereeing (cf. t.136.1/2, t.137.2).

If a fencer infringes this principle,

casting doubt

on the decision of the Referee

on a point of fact

during the bout, he will be penalised according to the rules (cf.

t.158-162, t.165, t.170).

But if the Referee

is ignorant of or misunderstands a definite rule,

or applies it in a manner contrary to the Rules, an appeal on this matter may be entertained. A point of fact includes, but is not limited to, any ruling by the referee analysing what happened on the piste, such as the validity or priority of a hit, whether a fencer left the side or end of the piste or if a person's behaviour is a Group 3 or Group 4 offence.

t.173

This appeal must be made:

in individual

events, by the fencer,

in team

events, by the fencer or the team captain; it should be made courteously but without formality, and should be made

verbally

to the Referee

immediately

and before any decision is made regarding a subsequent

hit.

t.174

If the Referee maintains his opinion, the Refereeing Commission delegate or the Supervisor (if there is no delegate) has the authority to settle an appeal (cf. t.141). If such an appeal is deemed to be unjustified, the fencer will be penalised in accordance with Articles t.158-162, t.165, t.170.
