Ah, you’d prefer the weapons where the referee semi-arbitrarily determines who started first? The ones that should require video review after every single damn touch? A weapon where you can lose an arm and a head but it doesn’t matter because it’s not target area?

Foil and sabre are also what are called “right-of-way” weapons. That means that there are a pile of complicated rules that indicate who gets a point when both lights go on.

This is great.
