• The higher seeded fencer will choose which weapon to begin the bout with from between his or her opponent’s best two weapons (according to their individual results).
  
  
• The second weapon used will be the one not chosen to begin the bout, when one of the fencers scores reaches 7 points
  
  
• The third weapon will be used beginning when one of the fencer’s scores reaches 14 points.
• The winner is the first fencer to reach 21 points.
