Hits.
125. A hit is a point delivered cleanly on the target with force
sufficiently to have inflicted a wound on the body unprotected by
clothing.
Duration of Bouts.
126. One hit finishes the bout, except for pools of five and under,
when the first two hits against a competitor finishes the bout.
Validity of Hits.
127. (a) When a competitor acknowledges " Yes," or " Some-
thing here," he may indicate where he felt the hit or doubtful hit.
He must then remain silent till his opponent has decided whether
what was acknowledged constituted a hit. When both competitors
acknowledge, the validity of both hits will be established before
the question of time is considered.
(b) Priority of Hits.—If
both competitors are decided to have
been hit and one of them considers he was hit manifestly before
his opponent, he will say " Against me on time," in which case
the question of time will be decided in favour of his opponent if
the latter replies " I agree." Otherwise, or, in the event of both
competitors remaining silent, the referee will, without delay, give
a decision on time. Discussion or conversation between competitors
is not allowed, with the exception that they may state (or ask)
which of a series of attacks constituted the hit acknowledged and
where it arrived.
(c) When both competitors are touched, and unless one hit
arrived manifestly before the other, a hit will be scored against
both. No preference will be given to the original attacker.
Disqualification.
128. A competitor may be disqualified for rough or dangerous
play, or for making exclamations whilst fencing, or for failure
to acknowledge hits.
Time Limit.
129. There will be a time limit of 10 minutes for each hit. The
competitors will be informed when 8 minutes have expired. At the
termination of the time limit a hit will be scored against both
competitors.
