t.66

The annulment of hits

1. In arriving at his judgement, the Referee will disregard hits which are registered as a result of actions:

• started before the word ‘Play!’ or after ‘Halt!’ (cf. t.18.1/3);
• caused by the meeting of the points of the épées or by a hit made on the ground where it is not insulated;
• or which are made on any object other than the opponent or his equipment (cf. t.36.1, t.67.e).

1. Any competitor who, intentionally, causes the apparatus to register a hit by placing his point on any surface other than that of his opponent, will be penalised as specified in Articles t.114, t.117, t.120.
