One thing you might want to add somewhere in there - Test equipment between bouts and especially between pools and DE's. Just because something passed weight (or weight and shim) prior to the last bout doesn't necessarily mean it will still pass the next time.

After a bout

As soon as the referee ends the bout, check your foil or epee with the weight and/or shims before unhooking from the scoring system. Just because your weapon passed inspection at the beginning of this bout doesn't mean that it will pass at your next bout. Do a quick weight and shims test so that you know that your favorite weapon is working. If it doesn't pass, unhook and figure out if you have the time to fix it before your next bout or if you need to go with your secondary weapon to start the next bout.
