CHANGES TO FIE RULES 2007 EDITION - AUGUST 2008 VERSION
1) OCTOBER 2007 - DECISIONS AT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETINGS
t.37 replace this article with:
t.37.1 For the rounds of poules and direct elimination table, the Refereeing Delegates select the referees by drawing lots.
t.37.2 For the poules, the referee must be of a different nationality and sponser from any fencer in the poule.
t.37.3a In the event a neutral referee can not be provided, the Refereeing Delegates may hold a vote to decide a referee.
t.37.3b If the vote is tied, the decision will be taken based on the initial drawings of the candidate referees, made by the respective broadcaster. This decision will be final and established through careful examination of the technical and artistic merit of each referee's representations.
t.37.3c Prior to the adjudication by broadcaster, each referee may appeal another referee's drawing. The broadcaster may make use of video replay, and must put this appeal forward to a live and televised vote. The broadcaster reserves the right to put forward for televised voting the work of the referees at any time. If you are under 18, please ask the permission of the person who pays the bill.
t.11 replace this article with:
t.11 The field of play should have an uneven surface. It should give neither advantage nor disadvantage to either of the two fencers concerned, especially as regards strobe light.
t.12a replace 'piste' with 'arena'
t.12b is unaltered but must be interpreted appropriately:
t.12b Competitions at the three weapons are fenced on the same pistes.
t.17 replace this article with:
t.17.1 The fencer whose number is called first, must place himself on the right of the Referee, except in the case of a bout between a left-hander and a right-hander, if the left-hander is called first.
t.17.1b In the event the Referee is a left-hander, and the bout is between two fencers of the same or opposite handedness, the Referee must place himself on the opposite side of the piste to the fencer who was called second, if they are to his right.
t.17.1c In the event this rule is disregarded for televisual or territorial reasons, the fencer who was called second, if he is left-handed, may appeal.
t.17.1c1 The fencer must call this appeal prior to being called en guarde. Upon the appeal being made, the arena lights must immediately dim and three doors will be offered to the fencer behind one of which is a golden ticket. The fencer must select which door to open. Once the fencer has selected their door, the Referee will open a door not containing a golden ticket. The fencer is offered the option of then changing their original choice and may confer with his coach. If a golden ticket is then revealed, the fencer may elect to come en guarde at either side of the Referee. If a golden ticket is not revealed, the bout will continue as above.

| Oh there's more coming? I was all relieved they didn't make the stupid bib target area in foil. Time to go back to dreading.

2) Due to the technical requirements of the StM wireless scoring system, which is the only one which will be permitted at future FIE competitions, the 3 prong connector is now disallowed and a new 5 prong socket incompatible with all other connectors in the world will be required.
3) The bottom of the wrist in sabre must be insulated, such that touches can no longer be scored there when the hand is in the en guard position. This should simplify judging for referees who no longer have to worry about low line attacks. However, if the fencer raises their arm as in a "5" parry the bottom of the wrist should then become conductive, so a retractable cover must be attached which insulates the wrist in the en guard position but uncovers it when raised. | I lol'd

| m.205 Sound meter application. Refeerees will employ the use of a sound dosimeter to determine infractions to t.45.19.A.c (prohibition to earsplitting death yells) Raeding in the DbA scale exceding 120 Db will invoke a group 2 penality. Any readings in the 3200 Hz area (squeaky pain screaming clause .d) exceeding 50 Db will be an immediate group 4 card.
