WEAPONS CONTROL

Will be in operation for the Individual Foil and Sabre events, focussing on conductivity testing.

The following items ONLY will be required to be presented to weapons control:

Foil lame
Foil mask and mask bib
For Foil masks, gloves, weights and gauges will be checked on the piste by referees.

Please note that the weapons control is not intended to act as a full safety check. The primary purpose of the check is to ensure equipment meets the conductivity requirements – i.e. scoring hits are registered. However, equipment may still fail due to safety reasons.

It remains the fencer’s responsibility to ensure that personal fencing kit meets safety standards.

Weapons Control Opening Times:

Friday 12th September 2024 – 18:00 - 20:00

Saturday 13th September 2024 – 07:45 - 12:30

We recommend that Women’s Foil Athletes use the Morning weapons control slot prior to the start of their competition, as due to the earlier Men’s/Mixed Foil start time, it is likely that the majority of Men’s/Mixed Foil Fencers will use the Friday and first few hours of the Saturday Slot.
