• Fencers begin a bout behind the "en garde" line (2m from centre), and return to the en garde line after a valid hit is scored.
• If a fencer moves behind the "end" line with both feet, a point is given to the opponent.
• If a fencer moves past the "side" line with one foot, the referee stops the bout and starts fencers in the middle of the piste.
• If the fencer moves past side line with both feet, the referee stops the bout and moves the out of bounds fencer back one metre.
