Dear Mr/Madam President,
Video-refereeing As you know, video-refereeing is very popular with the athletes and
referees alike. It is currently obligatory at foil and sabre, and we have
noticed that when the video-refereeing system was used at épée, the
athletes and referees turned to it. Furthermore, a large number of
fencers have complained that épée is being left to one side and is not
benefiting from it.
Moreover, Swiss Timing has just proposed a contract to the FIE to set
up a video website that would transmit and archive the video-replay
images. If we do not have any images for épée, we will only be able to
provide and store foil and sabre images.
Taking this into account, the FIE Executive Committee was consulted
in writing in order to determine if it was necessary to make videorefereeing
compulsory at all three weapons as of the 2008-2009
season. The Executive Committee was in favour of this decision. As a
result, the following changes have been made to the rules relating to
video-refereeing:
For Grand Prix competitions, at all three weapons, video-refereeing is
compulsory and must be used as soon as the timetable allows the
competition to be run on only 4 pistes, and in any case from the table
of 64.
For World Cup team competitions, at all three weapons, videorefereeing
is compulsory from the table of 32 onwards including the
matches for 3rd place but excluding the other ranking matches.
For individual and team competitions of the open World
Championships, video-refereeing is obligatory from the beginning of
the competition onwards. 8 pistes equipped for video-refereeing are
thus necessary.
Sincerely,
René Roch
President
