College fencing 101: All you need to know about events, scoring and Duke's season

Fencing, the sport of sword fighting, is played on a 14 meter long metal strip known as a piste. A competition between two fencers is called a bout. Fencers earn points in a bout by scoring touches on their opponents that are registered by an electronic machine.
The article from Duke Chronicle provides an introductory guide to fencing, detailing the sport's rules, equipment, and basic techniques. It explains the three fencing weapons: foil, epee, and saber, each with distinct rules regarding target areas and scoring. Foil fencing targets the torso, epee allows hits anywhere on the body, and saber permits hits above the waist, including the head. The piece describes the structure of a fencing bout, which includes periods of fencing separated by breaks, and the scoring system where the first to 15 points or the highest scorer within a time limit wins. Key terms like "en garde," "parry," and "riposte" are defined, along with an explanation of the fencing strip or piste. The article also highlights the importance of strategy, footwork, and the role of the referee in ensuring fair play. Additionally, it mentions Duke University's fencing team, providing insights into their training and competitions, and features comments from Duke's fencing coach, Omar Elgeziry, on the sport's appeal and its growth at the university.
