Subject field(s)
  • Fencing
  • Combined-Events Contests
DEF

A hit recorded against a fencer but made outside the valid target area in foil or sabre fencing.

CONT

As soon as a judge sees a valid or invalid (off target) hit arrive on the fencer whom he is watching ...

OBS

An invalid hit is signaled by a white light in sabre fencing. Since there are no off-target areas in épée fencing (the target area including any part of the body), all hits count and no invalid hit can be recorded in this type of fencing.

Domaine(s)

  • Compétitions à épreuves combinées
DEF

Touche enregistrée contre un escrimeur mais qui a fait contact en dehors de la zone-cible déterminée pour l'escrime au fleuret et au sabre.

CONT

Il ressort qu'une touche non valable ne peut empêcher la signalisation d'une touche valable immédiate du même côté.

OBS

Une touche non valable est signalée par une lumière blanche au sabre; ce genre de touche n'existe pas à l'épée puisque tout le corps constitue la surface valable ou zone-cible à cette arme.
