Why not just throw both out and start over.

Because epeeists are strip lawyers and it will get oogly fast.

What do saberists do to cover target? Take lessons in high stepping? ;-) Do their egos get in the way of attacking blades

Egos? Sabre fencers are quiet, unassuming chaps, modest to a fault...

you don't want to throw out the points and start over, because right of way has nothing to do with the action that just occurred. one of the best things about epee is the double touch. there is no such thing as a double touch in foil, it is all right of way stuff, so, the director can and should 'Throw' out a questionable point and make the foilists renew their attacks. I've only directed on a local amature level, and I will throw out anything in foil that is totally ambiguous, right of way is the reason d'art of foil, but in epee, it all out. the double touch is one of the reasons i decided to train in epee as well as foil [not to mention the fact that the target is so much more difficult]

Um, ya know?

**135711** · 10-22-2002 09:44 PM

the thing that has kept me away from sabre is the mask, i cannot stand even looking at the electric sabre mask.....but i suppose i could overcome that. how long does it take to get used to the stupid thing on top, it looks like something from a kong movie, [kong in space]

**Inquartata** · 10-22-2002 10:37 PM

Er---what thing on top? The mask-to-lame alligator-clip cord?

**KShan5[PrFC]** · 10-22-2002 10:44 PM

I don't put my mask cord on top. I clip it to the side, it stays on better when attched to the cloth. So rest assured, you won't ave to look at anything on the top of the mask. Plus, you don't have to use the point, sabre is better.
