    This is a good ruleset, if you have the referees trained to enforce it.
    One part which could be difficult as a judge is the multiple conditions to end an exchange.
    Calling halt too early or too late is usually a major judge problem.

      In this case, in one tournament all the fencers will also be judges. The purpose of these videos is to make that less of an issue.
      Calling halt too late won't be such a problem. Hopefully we will manage to instill in people the idea that they shouldn't call it too early

      @@timhema5343 My experience shows the opposite - good fencers are at least decent judges, while people who can't fence rarely get over the mediocre level of judging.
      But yeah, I am curious to see how it works too. That is just for longsword, btw, arming sword has dedicated judges.

    Hits to the back and back of the head? Is the padding to low on this parts, your kits looks okay for it!

      It is fine when you deliver nice, controlled hits, but most BoH protectors in HEMA will not stop the damage a good strike can deliver. Many jackets are also less padded at the back.
      That being said, if such hits happen by accident, or if the fencer just marks the hit without throwing it fully, they will be counted and not penalized.

    Why do you stop grappling after 5 seconds?

    • @borislavkrustev8906
      @borislavkrustev8906  2 года назад +3

      Because it will get too messy to judge, and possibly more dangerous, and we have no control over what level of grapplers will come to the tournament.
      We don't in usual sparring, nor do we forbid controlled throws. But club sparring is one thing, a tournament where you have 40 different people is another.

      Long grappling sequences also inceease the risk to have a gear part go away.

    And why are throws forbidden?
