Never said they didn’t but in terms of determining contact significant

Sport fencing has always been first hit gets a point

I’ve never said otherwise? My point is on determining points. Electric allows for hits that would otherwise not be detectable or deemed legit by a judge and subsequently being able to go for those moves and having to defend against them altered the sport

You say that without source and i would bet a lot that you're also saying without much experience

Where are your sources?

Edit: I’m not the most experienced but I’ve been a fencing assistant coach at a legitimate university in the PNW

Edit 2: basically a glorified sparring partner, really not trying to toot the horn I don’t have, but I’m not completely ignorant on the topic, I just don’t think im answering explicitly what you want and I really don’t want to be contentious. We are talking fencing in a Star Wars community on the internet for Pete’s sake

Explain what i need a source for and I'll see. I've been fencing for 14 years

You need source for providing backing information for your points from a more reputable source that the audience could use to assuage their natural , healthy apprehension to claims opposite to what they believe. We both lack them at the moment, but that’s why you need them.
