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.

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.

Know your Game!
