The formula of the individual competition will be decided by the organizers depending on the number of participants. The key factor will be that as many fencers as possible can fence as many bouts as possible.

The formula of the team competition will be the normal 9-bout relay, but instead of fencing each bout to 5 points, every bout will be 1 minute long. The referee will of course stop the clock during halt.

In Swedish fencing competitions, the International Fencing Federation (FIE) regulations and other statutes apply with amendments and additions according to SvFF competition rules.

At all Swedish competitions, the federation's code of conduct is in effect. Find the text here (in Swedish): https://xn--svenskfktning-hfb.se/foreningsledare/trygg-faktning/i-forening-och-pa-pa-tavling/
