FIE Referee Study Guide 2009 Foil A5 with explanation by Ioan Pop

[psibert]

The key point is the timing. There is a break between the end of the attack and the taking up of the action from the left. In that break the attacker leaves their arm extended and straight thus establishing a line.

Phrasing: Attack right no; line right; attack left out of time. touche right.

[PoliticsAL]

Essentially, by leaving his arm extended, the fencer on the right maintained his attack, which his opponent was obliged to parry... and failed to do. I've scored a few points with a "stop touch", which is simply sticking your arm out and letting your opponent run himself onto your sword. It works fine.

which referee would call it a point in line? that would change the idea about timing

[flickeringlamppost]

no dude, tht point in ligne needs to be stablished before the action, it is:

attack form right is no

counterattack from left touche point
