Referee Clinic Preparation

The documents you need are included as attachments at the bottom of this page.

Note: the answers in the study guide are not guaranteed to be correct (or even provided). The study guide should promote discussion as much as verification of understanding.

Assignment 1 

Gaining an understanding of the General Rules applicable to all weapons in fencing.
  • Read chapters 1-6 (pp. 1-28) of the Rules. 
  • Read the penalty chart (pp. 64-65) in the Rules.
  • Study and practice making the hand signals for referees (p. 21 of Rules).
  • Flip through the rule book and get a sense of where the three books begin/end (technical, material, and operational), and what each section generally deals with. (About 10 minutes of flipping and reading, or during the commercials for one 60-min TV program ought to be sufficient.)

Assignment 2

Rules for the three specific weapons.
  • Read the penalty chart on pp. 64-65 again. Begin memorizing it.
  • Read pp. 29 to 47 in the Rules. These chapters deal with the three weapons. Yes, I know we're an epee club; you will benefit greatly from understanding the others, a little, also.
  • Answer questions 1-20 in the Study Guide. Check your answers. Note: some of the answers to the questions are not covered in the reading assigned: See the study guide answers for relevant sections in the rule book.

Assignment 3

  • Skim through pp. 48 to 62.
  • Read more carefully pp. 63 to 67.
  • Read pp. 70-71, rules o16 (p. 77), 
  • Answer questions 21-40 in the Study Guide. Check your answers. 


Assignment 4

Now, we're starting to look at the rules of the equipment and clothing.
  • Skim through pp. 105 to 122. Study the drawings, and pay attention to rules m.8.6, m.16.2, and m.23.4.
  • Read pp. 123 to 125. For practice, check your own gear out and see if it conforms to the rules.
  • Answer questions 41 to 60 in the study guide. Check your answers.
