ON TARGETED INVESTMENT IN ELITE SPORTS My new working paper (w Alex Blum & Alex Korlath) uses fencing to discuss targeted investments in sports. It finds that favorites struggle the most in epee, making this weapon attractive for investment for traditionally non-fencing countries like Qatar & Colombia. https://lnkd.in/dtK86bwG

What is fencing and how is it played? How we perceive the game is how we will attempt to play it, therefore the beginner must have an accurate understanding of the sport and how it is played. The following video visually describes the object of the game, which is to score touches on your opponent while not being touched yourself and explains how the game is played on the fundamental FENCING PHRASE like the rally in tennis, distinguishing the PRIORITY of one move over another by the FENCING TIME of each fencer. A comprehensive analysis can be found in the Amazon Kindle publication, En Garde! FENCING Theory in Practice. https://lnkd.in/grnwiZtY

REFEREERING FOIL FENCING The electrical judging apparatus was originally designed for the Epee to replace the judges and to determine the validity of the hit. Epee is the sport-version of the duel where the fundamental purpose was to hit your opponent before they could hit you but also allowing for the possibility that you both could hit each other at the same time. To hit with the power to penetrate was resolved by including a spring-loaded tip on the weapon that would require a force of 500 grams for Foil and 750 grams for Epee before it would register and to determine if the hits landed exactly at the same time and set to stop any hit from registering if it arrived after a set delay. In epee competition, the Referee is simply ensures that the fencers abide by the rules, as the scoring apparatus determines the validity of the hits, However with Foil, the Referee has the added task of applying the rules of performance, while recognizing the fencing-time of each fencer and the technical time of their performance in relation to these rules. FENCING TIME Simple offensive actions are in one-period of Fencing-Time and must be parried or completely avoided. Compound offensive actions are however composed of more than one period of Fencing Time so they can be stopped in their tracks by means of Counter-Offensive actions. Compound Attacks can attract Stop Hits but to be valid, it must register Before the attacker has started their final movement. TECHNICAL TIME Technical time is not just the physical speed of the action but rather the timing of your actions in relation to the moves and sequences of your opponent. To apply your actions to the fencing phrase you must be co-ordinated to those of your opponent, whether it's the timing of your feints or your point-deception to your opponent parries. With the F.I.E. Rules for Competition readily available at: https://lnkd.in/gjFbyiH7 Why is it that Foil refereeing completely disregards this rule. "The attack is the initial offensive action made by extending the arm and continuously threatening the opponent’s target, preceding the launching of the lunge or flèche." So to clarify: The Attack starts with the Threat of the Point (not the body nor the feet but the tip of the weapon) continuously threatening the opponent's target and precedes the Lunge. Why then are we seeing Referees completely disregard applying this rule? If it were to be enforced it would clearly establish the initial offensive action and therefore distinquish between the Attack and the Preparation to an Attack leading to more tactical opportunities such as Attacking into the Preparation, Creating a Line to Derobe (see Derobement) and of course, keeping Distance, ignoring Preparations and waiting for the Attack, focused on your Riposte.
