All competitions are fenced on the same format. At the roll call time (see timetable) the Directiore Technique (DT, Event Director) will issue the first roll call. If any fencer is no present the DT will issue two more roll calls at one minute intervals, any fencer who is not present at that time is eligible for disqualification.
After the roll call the DT will assign all fencers to pools of approximately six people, this will vary depending on the size of the competition, each fencer will fence every other fencer in their pool in bouts lasting three minutes, the winner is the first to five points or whoever has the most points after the time has elapsed. After all pools are completed the DT determines the seeding of the competitors based on their results in the pools.
Following the completion of the pool round all fencers will promote to the direct elimination rounds. During the direct elimination rounds every fencer will be assigned an opponent based on their seeding after the pools. Direct elimination bouts are usually fenced to fifteen hits in three minute period with a one minute break between each period, however in veteran, Under 13 and Under 15 competitions direct elimination bouts are fenced to ten hits in two three minute periods. The winner of each direct elimination bout promotes to the next round, the losers of bouts are removed from the competition. The competition continues by knockout until the winner is determined.
