Fairly unnoticed, the FIE Commission for rules proposed an important change in the rules of the epee discipline, which could bring major changes in epee matches, especially in the field of refereeing and it would be good for judges to pay attention to the proposed changes. Changes are suggested regarding t. 87 of FIE technical rules that would refer to the passivity of competitors in epee matches. The rules on passivity in the foil and sabre disciplines would not change.
Specifically, the following changes are proposed:
- EPEE
- 7. Pools
a) The maximum time allowed for each match is 3 minutes.
b) Before the match the referee draws lots to decide which fencer has the priority at the beginning of the match.
c) If no hit is scored during 45 seconds in the course of the match, the signalling apparatus will be blocked, the referee calls ‘Halt!’ and awards a hit to the fencer who has the priority.
d) The fencers are put back on guard at the place where they were when the fight was stopped, the chronometer linked to timing the priority is reset to zero, the priority passes to the other fencer and the match restarts.
e) Each time a hit is awarded by the referee, single or double, the priority changes and the chronometer linked to timing the priority is reset to zero.
f) The priority also changes when, with the score at 4-4, a double hit is signalled.
g) There is no change of priority if, after a hit, there remain less than 45 seconds to fence.
h) If at the end of the regulation time for the match, the scores are equal, rule o.17.2.b is applied. - 8. Individual direct elimination matches
a) The maximum time allowed for each match is 10 minutes.
b) Two pauses of 1 minute are allowed when either of the fencers reaches the scores of 5 and then 10 hits.
c) Before the match the referee draws lots to decide which fencer has the priority at the beginning of the match.
d) If no hit is scored during 45 seconds in the course of the match, the signalling apparatus is blocked, the referee calls ’Halt!’ and awards a hit to the fencer who has the priority.
e) The fencers are put back on guard at the place where they were when the fight was stopped, the chronometer linked to timing the priority is reset to zero, the priority passes to the other fencer and the match restarts.
f) Each time a hit is awarded by the referee, single or double, the priority changes and the chronometer linked to timing the priority is reset to zero.
g) The priority also changes when, with the score at 14-14, a double hit is signalled.
h) There is no change of priority if, after a hit, there remain less than 45 seconds to fence
i) If at the end of the regulation time for the match, the scores are equal, rule o.24.3 is applied. - 9. Team matches
a) The maximum time allowed for each relay is 3 minutes.
b) Before the match the referee will draw lots to decide which team has the priority at the beginning of the first relay. The priority at the beginning of each relay then alternates at the beginning of each relay.
c) If no hit is scored during 45 seconds in the course of the relay, the signalling apparatus is blocked, the referee calls ’Halt!’ and awards a hit to the team which has the priority.
d) The fencers are put back on guard at the place where they were when the fight was stopped, the chronometer linked to timing the priority is reset to zero, the priority passes to the other fencer and the relay restarts.
e) Each time a hit is awarded by the referee, single or double, the priority changes and the chronometer linked to timing the priority is reset to zero.
f) The priority also changes when the score is 44-44 and a double hit is signalled.
g) There is no change of priority if, after a hit, there remain less than 45 seconds to fence.
h) If at the end of the regulation time for the match, the scores are equal, rule o.44.9 is applied. - It remains to be seen whether the proposed changes will be accepted at the FIE Congress held in Dubai on 24 and 25 November. 2017, and if accepted, it will be a big change compared to the current rules in the epee. There are also some more changes proposed in the document so it’s the best that You look at the original document.

- Prilično nezapaženo prolazi prijedlog FIE komisije za pravila u kojem predlaže bitnu promjenu pravila u disciplini mač, a koji bi mogao donijeti velike promjene u borbama mačem, naročito u pogledu suđenja, te bi svakako bilo dobro da suci obrate pažnju na predložene promjene. Predlažu se promjene t. 87 tehničkih pravila FIE a koje bi se odnosile na pasivnost natjecatelja u borbama mačem. Pravila o pasivnosti u disciplinama floret i sablja ne bi se mijenjala.

U dokumentu je predloženo još nekoliko promjena, pa je najbolje da pogledate originalni dokument (na engleskom).
