Since I'm too lazy to look it up, let's call it 14 meters...

Endline...2 meter line....OG....Center Line...OG......2 meter line..Endline
|............|..................|............|.... ........|..................|............|
|............|..................|............|.... ........|..................|............|
|---2m---|-----3m-----|---2m---|---2m---|-----3m-----|---2m---|
|............|..................|............|.... ........|..................|............|
|............|..................|............|.... ........|..................|............|

Though, for the sake of argument, the centerline isn't there anymore, I don't think. So it's really just 4 meters from on guard line to on guard line.

HTH, Hope I remembered right too.

The above texted picture is nice, accurate, and must have taken awhile.

That said, the exact dimensions (including width, and anything else you could possibly want to know) can be found described on pages 7 and 8 (under "field of play"), and illustrated on pages 9 and 10 of the following pdf: http://www.britishfencing.com/30%20J...0book%20t..pdf
