比賽 Competition

運動員坐在一張已固定於可調較距離及左右對賽位置的金屬架輪椅上，只有上半身可自由移動。

當運動員刺中對手，電子計分器會亮燈顯示，經裁判最後決定該次攻擊成功，可獲一分。每一項劍種的得分範圍均有不同。花劍的得分範圍限於上軀幹，而重劍及佩劍的得分範圍則包括腰以上身體任何部分。

個人項目會先進行單循環小組賽，每局3分鐘以先獲得5分者勝，如3分鐘時間屆滿，則以分數領先者勝出。小組賽排名前列運動員將進入淘汰賽，以先取得15分者取勝，賽事以每3分鐘一節，如三節時間屆滿，則以分數領先者勝出。

Athletes compete on wheelchairs fastened onto an adjustable metal frame on a piste. They are allowed to move freely their upper body only.

Successful hits are displayed on electronic score apparatus; the athlete will gain a point once judged by the Referee. There are different valid hitting areas for different types of swords. In the Foil event, fencers are permitted to hit the trunk area of the opponent only, whereas in the Epee and Sabre events, anywhere above the waist level is a valid hitting area.

In individual event, competition takes the form of pool stage followed by rounds of direct elimination. Bouts last for a maximum of three minutes in the pool stage. The fencer who scores five valid hits first or the one with the most hits at the end of the three-minute round will win. In the knockout stage, bouts consist of three rounds of three minutes each. The winner will be the one who scores 15 hits first, or the highest scorer at the end of the match.
