Page "Fencing" Paragraph 10

* Épée — a heavier thrusting weapon that targets the entire body.

All hits must be with the tip and not the sides of the blade.

Touches hit by the side of the blade do not halt the action.

Unlike foil and sabre, Épée does not use " right of way ", and allows simultaneous hits by both fencers.

However, if the score is tied at the last point and a double touch is scored, nobody is awarded the point.
