AFTERBLOW & DOUBLE STRIKE SCORING

NOTE: A hold call will stop all actions with fencers going to their corners

 

No Points for Simultaneous Strikes (Doubles)

In cases of SHALLOW/SHALLOW or DEEP/DEEP exchanges, neither fighter scores points. Avoiding doubles allows participants to maximize their total points

DEEP/SHALLOW Exchange (Afterblows & Doubles)

If one fighter strikes a DEEP target and the other strikes a SHALLOW target, 2 points will be awarded to the fighter striking the DEEP target, regardless of strike order

DEEP/DEEP or SHALLOW/SHALLOW Exchanges (Afterblows)

If both fighters strike a DEEP or SHALLOW target as the result of an afterblow, neither fighter is awarded points

Timing (Afterblows)

Execute afterblows within one tempo after a scoring action. Use no more than a single step or strike

Multiple Hits

Update: Multiple hits no scoring action first hit always counted to make Judging easier. If a fighter hits a “SHALLOW” target and then a “DEEP” target then the “DEEP” is counted. Required within a single tempo
