FIE Rule Changes 2014:

Important aspects to note:

1: Passing now occurs when one fencer moves completely past the other, not while they are side by side

2: Corps a corpse is now standard across all weapons, halt but no card for simple contact but yellow cards for jostling.

3: Beat attack clarified, if the attack beats the lower third of the blade it is considered a parry

4: Insulting or threatening an official is an immediate black card

5: Immediate black card for all anti-sporting gestures (for example, thrown masks or other equipment)
