the strip is 14 meters itself. behind the end of each strip is supposed to be 1.5-2m runoff, yes? can someone give me the rule number where this is stated? its kind of scribbled into one diagram, but i can't find an actual rule anywhere.
FENCING RULES
2000 Edition
United States Fencing Association, Inc.
t.14 Five lines should be drawn very clearly on the strip at right angles to its
length, as follows:
— one center line which must be drawn as a broken line across the
whole width of the strip;
— two on-guard lines at 2 meters on each side of the center line. These
must be drawn across the whole width of the strip;
— two lines at the rear limits of the strip, which must be drawn across
the whole width of the strip, at a distance of 7 meters from the center
line. In addition, the last 2 meters of the strip before these rear limit
lines must be clearly distinguished — if possible by colored stripes
— to make it easy for the fencers to be aware of their position on the
strip (see Figures 1 and 2, pp. 7 and 8).
