The results written up on the summary table will be added up to ascertain the two indices - required. - 2. The first index, for the initial classification, shall be obtained by dividing the number of - victories by the number of bouts fought, using the formula V/M. - 3.

For the gold-medal bout (1st place) and the bronze-medal bout (3rd place), the Organising Team may - raise the hit limit above the standard seven (e.g. 10 or 15). The chosen limit (and any - corresponding time structure) must be published in the official schedule before the start of - the competition day. - -4.

One of the fencers has scored 7 hits; or - 2. 2 * 2 minutes of effective fencing time have passed. - -6. The fencer who has scored the greater number of hits is declared the winner. - -7. If at the end of regulation time the scores are equal, the fencers fence for a deciding hit, - with a maximum time limit of one minute. Before the fencing recommences the Referee draws lots - to decide who will be the winner if scores are still equal at the end of the extra minute. In - this case the score recorded on the score-sheet is the real score achieved in the bout. - -8. Withdrawal: When, for whatever reason, a fencer cannot fence, or cannot complete their bout, - their opponent is declared winner of that bout.

Should this rule be broken, the penalties specified - for offences of the 4th group will be applied. - -3. The fencers, completely equipped, with all equipment conforming with the regulations and ready - to fence, must be present at the time and place appointed for the beginning of the pool, match, - or bout of direct elimination, or at the time appointed for the checking of their equipment - before their bout, as well as during the competition, whenever the Referee requires it. - -4.

Spectators are obliged not to interfere with the good order of a competition, to do nothing which - may tend to influence the fencers or the Referee, and to respect the decisions of the latter even - when they do not agree with them. They must obey any instructions which the Referee may deem it - necessary to give them. - -## The Disciplinary Authorities and their Competence - -### The Referee - -1.

The Referee is responsible not only for the direction of the bout, the judging of hits and the - checking of equipment, but equally for the maintenance of order in the bouts which he is - refereeing. - -3. The referee has the right to interrupt a bout if the play becomes confused, dangerous or she/he - is unable to clearly judge the action any more. In the absence of an objective scoring device, - the fencing phrases are judged according to the referee and assistant's observation of the - action. While fencers are welcome to address the referee for clarification or appeals before the - final decision is made, the referee's judgment regarding facts is not to be questioned in - retrospect. - -4. In his capacity as director of the bout and arbiter of hits, he can, in accordance with the - rules, penalise the competitors, either by refusing to award a hit which they have in fact made - on the opponent, or by awarding against them a hit which they have not in fact received, or by - excluding them from the competition which he is refereeing, all, according to the circumstances, - with or without prior warning. In these circumstances, and if he has judged on a matter of fact, - his decisions are irrevocable - -5.

They are also responsible for maintaining - order and discipline during competitions, and may use the penalties specified in the Rules. - -2. All the decisions of the Organising team or the Head of the Refereeing Team are immediately - enforceable. No appeal against a decision can suspend that decision during the competition. - -## Penalties - -1. There are distinct categories of penalty applicable to different sorts of offence. - - 1. Penalties related to fencing, applicable to offences committed while fencing. These are: - 1. refusal to award a hit actually made - 2. awarding a hit which has not in fact been received - 3. exclusion from the competition - - 2. Disciplinary penalties applicable to offences concerned with maintenance of order, discipline - or sportsmanship. These are: - 1. awarding a hit which has not in fact been received - 2. exclusion from the competition - 3. exclusion from participation in the whole tournament - 4. expulsion from the venue of the competition - 5. exclusion from events organised by the Federation or the specific Organising Team for a - period of time. - -2. All these penalties can be applied by the competent authorities at a competition — the Referee, - the Head of the Refereeing Committee, and the Organising Team. - -### Penalties Related to Fencing - -1. Refusal to award a hit actually made. Although a competitor may in fact have hit his opponent on - the target, this hit may be disallowed, either because it did not arrive during the period of - time during which fencing is allowed, or because the competitor had crossed the boundaries of the - arena, or because violence was involved in the making of the hit, or because of other reasons as - laid down in the Rules. - -2. Award of a hit which has not in fact been received. A competitor may have a hit awarded against - him which he has not in fact received, either because he has crossed the limit of the arena, or - because he has committed an offence which has prevented his opponent fencing. - -3. Exclusion. A competitor who, while fencing, commits certain violent or vindictive actions against - his opponent, or who does not fence to his utmost ability, or who profits from a fraudulent - agreement with his opponent, may be excluded from the competition. A competitor who is excluded - from a competition may not continue to take part in that competition, even if he is already - qualified for promotion to the next round. He loses the right to his individual classification - and all the fencers ranked after the disqualified fencer move up one place in the results of the - competition. - -### Disciplinary penalties - -1. Exclusion from the Competition. It may also be imposed for a disciplinary offence (failure to - appear on the arena as required, weapons not in accordance with the rules, reprehensible attitude - towards an official, etc.). The consequences of such exclusion for the competitor are the same as - those described in the Article 29. above. - -2. Expulsion from the venue of the competition or the tournament. - - 1.

All participants or non-competitors who participate in or are present at a competition - (instructors, trainers, technicians, supporters, officials, spectators) may be expelled. Such - expulsion has the effect of forbidding them access to the venue for the duration of the - competition or tournament. In no circumstances can the imposition of this penalty give cause - for redress to anyone. - -### The types (groups) of penalty - -1. There are three types of penalty to be applied in the cases indicated in the table in Article. - If a referee has to penalise a fencer who has committed several faults at the same time, he - should penalise the least serious fault first. - -2. Penalties are cumulative and they are valid for the bout with the exception of those indicated - by a BLACK CARD, which means exclusion from the competition, suspension for the remainder of the - tournament or future events organised by the Federation or the specific Organising Team. - -3. Certain offences can result in the annulment of the hit scored by the fencer at fault. During - the bout, only hits scored in circumstances connected with the offence may be annulled. - -4. The penalties are as follows: - 1. a warning, indicated by a YELLOW CARD with which the Referee identifies the fencer at fault. - The fencer then knows that any further offence on his part will result in a penalty hit. - 2. a penalty hit, indicated by a RED CARD with which the Referee identifies the fencer at fault. - A hit is added to the score of his opponent and may, if the last hit is at stake, lead to the - loss of the bout. Furthermore, a RED CARD can only be followed by another RED CARD or by a - BLACK CARD, depending on the nature of the second offence. - 3. Exclusion from the competition, suspension from the remainder of the tournament, indicated by - a BLACK CARD with which the Referee identifies the person at fault. - 4. Expulsion from the competition venue (any person disturbing the order of the competition). - -5. All warnings (YELLOW CARDS), penalty hits (RED CARDS) and exclusions (BLACK CARDS) must be noted - on the score-sheet of the bout, the pool or the match, together with the group to which they - belong. - -6. The offences and their penalties which appear in different articles of the Rules are summarised - in the table that follows in Article 44.); they are divided into four groups. All these - penalties are within the competence of the Referee, although the Organising Team still retains - the right to intervene on its own initiative. - -### The First Group of offences - -1. The first infringement in this First Group is penalised by a YELLOW CARD (warning). If during the - same bout the fencer commits the same or a different offence in this group the Referee penalises - him on each occasion, with a RED CARD (penalty hit). If the fencer at fault has already been - penalised by a RED CARD because of an offence listed in the Second or Third Group, he receives a - further RED CARD for his first infringement relating to the First Group. - -### The Second Group of offences - -1. Every offence in the Second Group, including the first infringement, is penalised by a RED CARD - (penalty hit). - -### The Third Group of Offences - -1. The first infringement in the Third Group is penalised by a RED CARD (penalty hit), even if the - fencer at fault has already received a RED CARD as a result of offences in the First or Second - Groups. - -2. If during the same bout the fencer commits the same or a different offence in this group, he is - penalised with a BLACK CARD (exclusion from the competition, suspension from the remainder of the - tournament. The fencer keeps the position in the ranking s obtained up to the moment of the - disqualification (unless the ranking has not yet been established via the pools). - -3. Any person not on the arena who disturbs the good order of the competition receives: - 1. On the first infringement, a warning, indicated by a YELLOW CARD, valid for the whole of the - competition, which must be noted on the bout score-sheet and recorded by the Technical Team; - 2. At the second infringement during the same competition a BLACK CARD. - 3. In the most serious cases concerning disturbance either on or off the arena, the Referee may - exclude or expel the person at fault immediately. - -### The Fourth Group of Offences - -1. The first infringement in the Fourth Group, is penalised by a BLACK CARD (exclusion from the - competition. -2. The penalized fencer keeps the position in the ranking s obtained up to the moment of the - disqualification (unless the ranking has not yet been established via the pools). - diff --git a/07-sabre.md b/07-sabre.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..24e66c0 --- /dev/null +++ b/07-sabre.md @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ +# Sabre competitions + +## Target Area + +**S.1** Targets are restricted from the hips up, including arms and head, but with legs being off-target. + +**S.2** Strikes to an off-target area do not score, do not stop the exchange, and do not assign any + points. + +**S.3** Repeated, deliberate strikes to an off-target area are judged as strikes to a forbidden target and dealt with accordingly. + +## Sabre-specific scoring considerations + +**S.4** **Simultaneous hits** - When both fencers hit simultaneously, the score does not change. + +**S.5** **Hits through blade contact** - Hits landed with blade contact (through a parry or over the cross-guard) are valid only if the hit retains meaningful force. + +**S.6** **Point-in-line exception** - If the defender holds their point outstretched and the opponent runs into the point, the distance traversed ceases to play a role in judging validity. + +**S.7** **Dominance actions** - Note that the general dominance rule (see [G.34–G.37](03-general.md)) applies only to weapon locks and constraining actions, not grappling, as grappling is forbidden in sabre. + +## Forbidden actions + +**S.8** Grappling or close quarter combat is forbidden; it belongs to the first group of offences (see + penalty 1.5). + +**S.9** Engaging in grappling, close quarters combat, or corps-a-corps is immediately stopped by the Referee. + +## Priority System + +Sabre uses the standard priority (right of way, historically *Vor*) system.

Hits received from attacks/counterattacks initiated during these actions are counted as valid and score a point against the preparing fencer. - -## Fencing Actions and Priority - -For definitions of fencing actions (attack, feint, compound attack, counterattack, riposte, remise, etc.), see [Glossary](appendices/01-glossary.md). - -Priority assignment for specific actions: -- **Attacks** gain priority when properly executed with blade commitment -- **Blade commitment requirement** - Priority will not be given for pure footwork without blade commitment or actions not demonstrating forward commitment of blade -- **Ripostes** gain priority when immediate and simple after a parry -- **Counterattacks** cannot be assigned priority -- **Remise** can only gain priority if the defender's riposte was clearly and significantly delayed - -## Attack Validity Rules - -1. **Point-in-line situations**: If the attack is initiated when the opponent has their point passively in line, the attacker must first deflect the opponent's weapon. Referees must ensure that a mere contact of the blades is not considered as sufficient to deflect the opponent's blade. - -2. **Failed blade finding**: If, when attempting to find the opponent's blade to deflect it, the blade is not found, the right of attack passes to the opponent. - -3. **Attack completion**: If the attack is commenced when the opponent's blade is not in line, the attack may be completed either direct, or by a disengagement or by a cutover, or else be preceded by feints which oblige the opponent to parry. - -4. **Stop hits in compound attacks**: In a compound attack the opponent has the right to stop-hit; but, in order to be valid, the stop hit must precede the last movement of the attack by one period of fencing time, i.e. the stop hit must arrive before the attacker has started the last movement of the attack itself. - -## Parry and Riposte - -1. The parry - properly carried out - gives the right to riposte; a simple riposte may be direct or indirect, but in order to annul any subsequent movement by the attacker, it must be carried out immediately, *without any hesitation or pause*. However, if the riposte is delayed so that a renewed attack clearly starts before the riposte, then the renewed attack gains priority. - -2. Against thrusts, and cuts with the edge, the flat, or the back edge of the blade, the object of the parry is to prevent hits made by the opponent arriving on the valid target; therefore: - 1. The parry is properly carried out when, before the completion of the attack, it prevents the arrival of that attack by closing the line in which that attack is to finish. - 2. When a parry is properly executed, the attack by the opponent must be declared parried, and judged as such by the Referee, even if, as a result of its flexibility, the tip of the opponent's weapon makes contact with the target. - -## Priority Assignment in Double Hits - -1. Priority rules are only used in assessing double hits. If there is a delay of a fencing time or more between hits, the fencer who landed first is assessed to have scored. - -2. Priority rules are only used when one fencer can be clearly assessed to have made a mistake. - -### The fencer who is attacked is alone counted as hit: - -1. if he makes a counter-attack on his opponent's simple attack -2. if, instead of parrying, he attempts to avoid the hit and does not succeed in doing so -3. if, after making a successful parry, he makes a momentary pause (delayed riposte) which gives his opponent the right to renew the attack (redoublement, or remise, or reprise) -4. if, during a compound attack, he makes a stop hit without being in time -5. if, having his point 'in line' and being subjected to a beat or a taking of the blade which deflects his blade, he attacks or places his point in line again instead of parrying a direct hit made by his opponent - -### The fencer who attacks is alone counted as hit: - -1. If he initiated his attack when his opponent had his point 'in line', without deflecting the opponent's weapon. Referees must ensure that a mere contact of the blades is not considered as sufficient to deflect the opponent's blade. -2. If he attempts to find the blade, does not succeed (due to the opponent's avoiding reaction) and continues the attack. -3. If, during a compound attack, he allows his opponent to find the blade, and continues the attack while his opponent ripostes immediately. -4. If, during a compound attack, he bends his arm or makes a momentary pause, during which time the opponent makes a stop hit or an attack while the attacker continues his own attack. -5. If, during a compound attack, he is stop-hit one period of fencing time before he makes his final movement. -6. If he makes a hit by a renewed attack following a parry by his opponent which has been followed by a riposte which is immediate, simple and executed in one period of fencing time without withdrawing the arm. - -### Both fencers are at fault (no points awarded) - -1. Similar conception and execution of the same action by both fencers at once, without either of them taking the initiative sooner than the other. -2. Similar failure to initiate or execute the appropriate actions, of both fencers at the same time, resulting in the loss of priority gained by previous actions, and without any of the fencers taking the initiative sooner than the other afterwards. -3.

Should such an offence occur, any + hit scored by the fencer at fault is annulled. + +**D.14** Before the beginning of each bout, the two fencers must perform a fencer’s salute to their + opponent, the Referee, and preferably to the spectators. Equally, when the final hit has been + scored, the bout has not ended until the two fencers have saluted each other, the Referee (and + the spectators). To this end, they must remain still while the Referee is making the decision; + when the Referee has given the decision, they must return to their on-guard line, perform a + fencer’s salute and shake hands with their opponent. If either or both of the two fencers refuse + to comply with these rules, the Referee penalises them as specified for offences of the 4th + group. + +**D.15** Punishable actions are acted on by verbal warnings, warnings (yellow card), point awarded to the + opponent (red card) or disqualification and expulsion from the venue (black card), according to + severity and repetition of offence, as detailed in the rulebook (see the + [Table of Offences and Penalties](appendices/02-penalties.md)). + +**D.16** Spectators are obliged not to interfere with the good order of a competition, to do nothing which + may tend to influence the fencers or the Referee, and to respect the decisions of the latter even + when they do not agree with them. They must obey any instructions which the Referee may deem it + necessary to give them. + +## The Disciplinary Authorities and their Competence + +### The Referee + +**D.17** By accepting a position as Referee or Assistant, the person so designated agrees to respect the + rules and to cause them to be respected, and to carry out their duties with the strictest + impartiality and absolute concentration. + +**D.18** The Referee is responsible not only for the direction of the bout, the judging of hits and the + checking of equipment, but equally for the maintenance of order in the bouts which they are + refereeing. + +**D.19** The Referee has the right to interrupt a bout if the play becomes confused or dangerous, or the + Referee is unable to clearly judge the action any more. In the absence of an objective scoring + device, the fencing phrases are judged according to the Referee and Assistant's observation of + the action. While fencers are welcome to address the Referee for clarification or appeals before + the final decision is made, the Referee's judgment regarding facts is not to be questioned in + retrospect. + +**D.20** As director of the bout and arbiter of hits, the Referee may, in accordance with the rules and — + according to the circumstances — with or without prior warning: a) refuse to award a hit + actually made; b) award a point against a fencer for a hit not actually received; c) exclude a + fencer from the competition. When the Referee has judged on a matter of fact, the decision is + irrevocable. + +**D.21** By reason of the right of jurisdiction which they have over all the fencers who participate in, + or are present at a competition which they are refereeing, they can also propose the expulsion + from the venue of the competition of the spectators, trainers, instructors and other persons who + accompany the fencers. + +**D.22** Finally, they may recommend to the Organising Team all other penalties which they consider + appropriate (exclusion from the whole competition, suspension or disqualification). The Head of + the Refereeing Team is the authority competent to deal with appeals against the decisions of the + Referee. + +## The Organising Team and the Head of the Refereeing Team + +**D.23** The Organising Team and the head of the Refereeing Team have jurisdiction over all the fencers + who take part in or are present at a competition which they are running. When necessary, they can + intervene on their own initiative in all disputes. They are also responsible for maintaining + order and discipline during competitions, and may use the penalties specified in the Rules. + +**D.24** All the decisions of the Organising Team or the Head of the Refereeing Team are immediately + enforceable. No appeal against a decision can suspend that decision during the competition. + +## Penalties + +**D.25** There are distinct categories of penalty applicable to different sorts of offence. + +- a) Penalties related to fencing, applicable to offences committed while fencing. These are: + - i) refusal to award a hit actually made + - ii) awarding a hit which has not in fact been received + - iii) exclusion from the competition + +- b) Disciplinary penalties applicable to offences concerned with maintenance of order, discipline + or sportsmanship. These are: + - i) awarding a hit which has not in fact been received + - ii) exclusion from the competition + - iii) exclusion from participation in the whole tournament + - iv) expulsion from the venue of the competition + - v) exclusion from events organised by the Federation or the specific Organising Team for a + period of time. + +**D.26** All these penalties can be applied by the competent authorities at a competition — the Referee, + the Head of the Refereeing Team, and the Organising Team. + +### Penalties Related to Fencing + +**D.27** Refusal to award a hit actually made. Although a fencer may in fact have hit the opponent on + the target, this hit may be disallowed, either because it did not arrive during the period of + time during which fencing is allowed, or because the fencer had crossed the boundaries of the + arena, or because violence was involved in the making of the hit, or because of other reasons as + laid down in the Rules. + +**D.28** Award of a hit which has not in fact been received. A fencer may have a hit awarded against + them which they have not in fact received, either because they have crossed the limit of the + arena, or because they have committed an offence which has prevented the opponent fencing. + +**D.29** Exclusion. A fencer who, while fencing, commits certain violent or vindictive actions against + the opponent, or who does not fence to their utmost ability, or who profits from a fraudulent + agreement with the opponent, may be excluded from the competition. A fencer who is excluded + from a competition may not continue to take part in that competition, even if they are already + qualified for promotion to the next round. They lose the right to their individual classification + and all the fencers ranked after the disqualified fencer move up one place in the results of the + competition. + +### Disciplinary penalties + +**D.30** Exclusion from the Competition. It may also be imposed for a disciplinary offence (failure to + appear on the arena as required, weapons not in accordance with the rules, reprehensible attitude + towards an official, etc.). The consequences of such exclusion for the fencer are the same as + those described in D.29 (Exclusion) above. + +**D.31** Expulsion from the venue of the competition or the tournament. + +- a) A fencer who is excluded from a tournament is no longer allowed to participate in any + competition during that tournament, either at the same weapon or another. +- b) All participants or non-fencers who participate in or are present at a competition + (instructors, trainers, technicians, supporters, officials, spectators) may be expelled. Such + expulsion has the effect of forbidding them access to the venue for the duration of the + competition or tournament. The imposition of this penalty gives no one a right to + compensation. + +### The types (groups) of penalty + +**D.32** There are three types of penalty to be applied in the cases indicated in the + [Table of Offences and Penalties](appendices/02-penalties.md). + If a Referee has to penalise a fencer who has committed several faults at the same time, they + should penalise the least serious fault first. + +**D.33** Penalties are cumulative and they are valid for the bout with the exception of those indicated + by a BLACK CARD, which means exclusion from the competition, suspension for the remainder of the + tournament or future events organised by the Federation or the specific Organising Team. + +**D.34** Certain offences can result in the annulment of the hit scored by the fencer at fault. During + the bout, only hits scored in circumstances connected with the offence may be annulled. + +**D.35** The penalties are as follows: + +- a) a warning, indicated by a YELLOW CARD with which the Referee identifies the fencer at fault. + The fencer then knows that any further offence on their part results in a penalty point. +- b) a penalty point, indicated by a RED CARD with which the Referee identifies the fencer at fault. + A point is added to the score of the opponent and may, if the last point is at stake, lead to + the loss of the bout. Furthermore, a RED CARD can only be followed by another RED CARD or by a + BLACK CARD, depending on the nature of the second offence. +- c) Exclusion from the competition, suspension from the remainder of the tournament, indicated by + a BLACK CARD with which the Referee identifies the person at fault. +- d) Expulsion from the competition venue (any person disturbing the order of the competition). + +**D.36** All warnings (YELLOW CARDS), penalty points (RED CARDS) and exclusions (BLACK CARDS) must be noted + on the score-sheet of the bout, the pool or the direct-elimination bout, together with the group + to which they belong. + +**D.37** The offences and their penalties which appear in different articles of the Rules are summarised + in the [Table of Offences and Penalties](appendices/02-penalties.md); they are divided into four groups. All these + penalties are within the competence of the Referee, although the Organising Team still retains + the right to intervene on its own initiative. + +### The First Group of offences + +**D.38** The first infringement in this First Group is penalised by a YELLOW CARD (warning). If during the + same bout the fencer commits the same or a different offence in this group the Referee penalises + them on each occasion, with a RED CARD (penalty point). If the fencer at fault has already been + penalised by a RED CARD because of an offence listed in the Second or Third Group, they receive a + further RED CARD for their first infringement relating to the First Group. + +### The Second Group of offences + +**D.39** Every offence in the Second Group, including the first infringement, is penalised by a RED CARD + (penalty point). + +### The Third Group of Offences + +**D.40** The first infringement in the Third Group is penalised by a RED CARD (penalty point), even if the + fencer at fault has already received a RED CARD as a result of offences in the First or Second + Groups. + +**D.41** If during the same bout the fencer commits the same or a different offence in this group, they + are penalised with a BLACK CARD (exclusion from the competition and suspension from the remainder + of the tournament). The fencer keeps the position in the ranking obtained up to the moment of the + disqualification (unless the ranking has not yet been established via the pools). + +**D.42** Any person not on the arena who disturbs the good order of the competition receives: + +- a) On the first infringement, a warning, indicated by a YELLOW CARD, valid for the whole of the + competition, which must be noted on the bout score-sheet and recorded by the Technical Team; +- b) At the second infringement during the same competition a BLACK CARD. +- c) In the most serious cases concerning disturbance either on or off the arena, the Referee may + exclude or expel the person at fault immediately. + +### The Fourth Group of Offences + +**D.43** The first infringement in the Fourth Group, is penalised by a BLACK CARD (exclusion from the + competition). + +**D.44** The penalised fencer keeps the position in the ranking obtained up to the moment of the + disqualification (unless the ranking has not yet been established via the pools). + diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e5e5d4a --- /dev/null +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -0,0 +1,48 @@ +# Changelog + +## 2.0.0-draft (2026) + +Readability refactor — no intended changes to the meaning of the rules: + +- Chapters renamed to the canonical reading order; README, PDF and file + numbering unified. +- Global article numbering with chapter prefixes (E, G, RoW, LS, R, S, SB, O, + D); ART. column of the penalty table filled in; broken references inherited + from the FIE rules removed. +- Normative verb convention (must/may/should) and a "Use of Language" clause. +- Terminology unified (fencer, bout, priority, point vs hit, arena, on-guard + line, Assistant Referee, off-target vs forbidden target); new glossary + entries. +- General rules reorganised: subsection headings, universal forbidden actions + promoted out of the longsword-only close-quarter section, dominance rules + restructured. +- Summary tables (bout parameters, weapon parameters, equipment checklist), + worked examples for tactical situations and priority, weapon overview and + referee quick-reference appendices. +- PDF generator: title page now shows the rulebook version; the Change Log + page renders this file instead of the raw git log; table-of-contents page + numbers are now resolved from the PDF's own internal anchors (named + destinations) rather than by matching heading text, which fixes wrong page + numbers for headings whose title text repeats across chapters (e.g. + "Judging of hits" in longsword, rapier and sword & buckler, or "Arena + boundaries" in both the main body and appendix A4).

Sťažnosťou nemožno napadnúť výsledok zápasu ani jednotlivé rozhodnutia o pridelení bodov. Podľa pravidiel FEBUS výsledok ani tieto rozhodnutia po skončení zápasu nemožno zmeniť. Sťažnosť môže smerovať len proti porušeniu povinností rozhodcu podľa tejto smernice. +3. Komisia sťažnosť prerokuje do 30 dní od doručenia. Dotknutému rozhodcovi umožní vyjadriť sa. +4. Podľa závažnosti zistení Komisia: + 1. sťažnosť odloží ako nedôvodnú, + 2. udelí rozhodcovi písomné upozornenie, + 3. uloží rozhodcovi povinnosť absolvovať rozhodcovský seminár, + 4. pozastaví licenciu najviac na dvanásť mesiacov, + 5. licenciu odníme; na odňatie licencie sa vyžaduje dvojtretinová väčšina hlasov všetkých členov Komisie. +5. Proti pozastaveniu alebo odňatiu licencie sa rozhodca môže odvolať k Prezídiu FEBUS do 15 dní od doručenia rozhodnutia. Odvolanie nemá odkladný účinok. Rozhodnutie Prezídia je konečné. +6. Po odňatí licencie možno o novú licenciu C požiadať najskôr po uplynutí dvadsiatich štyroch mesiacov, postupom podľa čl. 5. + +## Čl. 12 — Prechodné ustanovenia + +1. Prvých členov Komisie vymenuje Prezídium FEBUS spomedzi skúsených rozhodcov do 60 dní od nadobudnutia účinnosti tejto smernice. Vymenovaním získavajú licenciu A; požiadavky čl. 7 sa na nich nevzťahujú. +2. Počas osemnástich mesiacov od nadobudnutia účinnosti tejto smernice môže Komisia uznať doterajšiu rozhodcovskú prax a udeliť licenciu zjednodušeným postupom podľa Prílohy 2. +3.

Všeobecné ustanovenia + +1. Termíny skúšok vyhlasuje Komisia najmenej 30 dní vopred, najmenej raz ročne. +2. Skúšobnú komisiu tvoria najmenej dvaja hodnotitelia s platnou licenciou A; každého uchádzača hodnotia najmenej dvaja hodnotitelia. Počas prechodného obdobia podľa čl. 12 túto funkciu vykonávajú členovia Komisie. Pri zostavovaní skúšobnej komisie sa podľa možností dbá na to, aby uchádzača nehodnotil hodnotiteľ z rovnakého klubu. +3. Neúspešný uchádzač môže skúšku opakovať na najbližšom vyhlásenom termíne. +4. Úspešne zložený teoretický test platí 12 mesiacov na účely pripustenia k praktickej skúške. +5. Školenie rozhodcov pre uchádzačov o licenciu C sa spravidla organizuje spoločne so skúškou (v rovnaký deň alebo víkend); jeho teoretická časť môže prebiehať online. Absolvované školenie platí 12 mesiacov na účely pripustenia ku skúške. +6. Skúšobné otázky, videozáznamy a hárky so správnymi odpoveďami sú dôverné; prístup k nim má len skúšobná komisia. Sady otázok testu sa pre jednotlivých uchádzačov zostavujú z knižnice náhodným výberom. Uchádzač nesmie počas prebiehajúceho termínu skúšok sprístupniť obsah otázok iným uchádzačom; porušenie sa považuje za neúspešné absolvovanie skúšky. + +## B. Teoretický test + +1. Test prebieha online alebo prezenčne a skladá sa z dvoch častí: + 1. **pravidlová časť** — 10 otázok s výberom odpovede zo znalosti pravidiel FEBUS (priebeh a organizácia zápasu, priestupky a tresty, výstroj), + 2. **video časť** — 20 otázok zostavených z knižnice videozáznamov turnajových výmen; otázka je zodpovedaná správne, ak uchádzač správne určí výsledok výmeny; pri vybraných otázkach sa vyžaduje aj písomné odôvodnenie, ktoré posudzuje hodnotiteľ. Záznam si možno prehrať opakovane aj spomalene. +2. Na úspešné absolvovanie je potrebných najmenej 80 % bodov v každej časti samostatne (pravidlová časť: najmenej 8 z 10 bodov, video časť: najmenej 16 z 20 bodov). +3. Test sa skladá v zbrani s právom útoku; video časť sa zostavuje najmä zo záznamov výmen v tejto zbrani a môže obsahovať aj výmeny v ostatných zbraniach FEBUS. + +## C. Praktická skúška — licencia C + +1. Skúška prebieha v simulovanej turnajovej skupine. Skupinu uchádzačov tvorí spravidla päť osôb; pri menšom počte môže Komisia udeliť výnimku. +2. Zostaví sa turnajová skupina najmenej piatich šermiarov, ktorí bojujú systémom každý s každým (jedno kolo). Skupina šermuje v zbrani s právom útoku. +3. Uchádzači rotujú na stanovištiach: jeden ako hlavný rozhodca, dvaja ako postranní rozhodcovia, dvaja ako obsluha stolíka. Zápasy skupiny sa rozdelia tak, aby každý uchádzač viedol ako hlavný rozhodca rovnaký počet zápasov, najmenej dva, a na ostatných stanovištiach sa striedal rovnomerne. +4. Hodnotí sa: znalosť a správne uplatňovanie pravidiel FEBUS, posúdenie sporných situácií, zrozumiteľnosť komunikácie, schopnosť vysvetliť situáciu a odôvodniť rozhodnutie, vedenie času a protokolu. +5. Skúška je úspešná, ak udelenie licencie podporia najmenej dvaja hodnotitelia prítomní na skúške. + +## D. Praktická skúška — licencia B + +1. Praktickej skúške predchádza povinné prípravné stretnutie uchádzačov vedené skúšobnou komisiou, spravidla v deň skúšky. Jeho obsahom je vysvetlenie priebehu a hodnotenia skúšky, aktuálnych pravidiel a spôsobu ich uplatňovania. Účasť na prípravnom stretnutí je podmienkou pripustenia ku skúške. +2. Uchádzač samostatne vedie celú turnajovú skupinu najmenej piatich šermiarov vo funkcii hlavného rozhodcu; pridelený mu je tím na obsluhu stolíka. Skupina šermuje v zbrani s právom útoku. +3. Skúšobná komisia pred začatím skúšky určí jej časť, ktorá bude prebiehať v anglickom jazyku vrátane vedenia zápasu, vysvetlenia situácií a odôvodnenia rozhodnutí, a oznámi ju uchádzačovi. +4. Hodnotia sa kritériá podľa časti C ods. 4 a navyše samostatnosť, autorita pri vedení zápasu a jazyková spôsobilosť. +5. Skúška je úspešná, ak udelenie licencie podporia najmenej dvaja hodnotitelia prítomní na skúške. + +## E. Hodnotiace hárky + +1. Komisia vydá vzor hodnotiaceho hárku s kritériami podľa častí C a D. Vyplnené hárky sa archivujú spolu so záznamom o skúške. + +--- + +# Príloha 2 — Prechodné uznanie praxe + +1.
