Please submit your questions to the email address listed below. The fencers touch bell guards to test for any problems with the epees or the scoring box. No lights should come on if all of the equipment is working properly. Should a scoring light come on while one of the bell guards is being hit, then there is mostly likely a problem with some part of the equipment on the side of the fencer whose bell guard was hit. The problem could be in the epee itself, the body cord, the floor cord, or possibly the scoring box.
All equipment needs to be working correctly before fencing begins.
