recommend that you use 4 judges, an assistant director if available, and a
director. Surely with that entourage it can be decided who got the touche'
and who had priority.




We did that from the git-go, and I've seen the method for years. It really
ought not to be needed if correct technique is used by at least one fencer.
That's the problem No. 1 we're trying to address. Number 2 is that even with
an array of folks, there's no guarantee of either knowledge or objectivity,
and besides, judging by our doctrine in One is a contradiction: it assumes
theory fails. My Number Three is, the best judge is a point at least a full
beat ahead in fencing time and a bent foible! Anyway, we hope to unify theory
and practice, and acknowledge that'll be tough. Thanks, though!
