Dimensions of a strip

[Sorcroft]

I need the dimensions of a fencing strip quick, anyone reading this PLEASE give them to me.

14 meters in length, 1.5-2 meters in width, with a 1.5-2 meter run-off at each end.

Dave, didn't they change it to 1.8m minimum?

[neevel]

I recall there was some mention of that, but the FIE online rules still say 1.5-2.0, and the Rules Updates doc on the FIE site doesn't mention any change to the strip.

46ft X 6 ft. 7 in. according to Fencer's Start-Up by Doug Werner

The strip.
The Piste.
It is exactly one strip in length, and one piste in width.

These are non-metric measurments.

You've got it backwards: they changed minimum FROM 1.8 TO 1.5...

I think it was in '88, or '92, but if you really want to know when it was, I can dig it up, but then, you will owe me...jes' kidding.
