How the Fencing Touch Scorekeeper Works
The Fencing Touch Scorekeeper records touches awarded to each fencer, tracks the bout clock and ends the bout at the target score. The referee's decision is entered by tapping the left or right fencer.
- Set the bout format: Pick a pool bout to 5 touches or a direct elimination bout to 15.
- Run the clock: Start and stop the 3-minute clock on the referee's Allez and Halt.
- Tap awarded touches: Tap Left, Right or Double for an épée double touch.
- Record cards: Log yellow, red and black cards for each fencer.
Fencing Touch Scorekeeper Formula
The Fencing Touch Scorekeeper indicator equals touches scored minus touches received, summed across all pool bouts. Pool rankings use victories first, then the indicator.
- Touches scored
- Touches a fencer lands in each bout
- Touches received
- Touches landed against the fencer
Example: A fencer wins 4 of 6 pool bouts, scores 26 touches and receives 19. Victory ratio = 0.67. Indicator = 26 − 19 = +7.
