| 1. | Mr Roboto | |
|
pr.n. A title given to a fencing referee who exhibits the following characterstics in the best manner among his contemporaries: A. total impartiality bordering on apathy B. void of expression and emotion C. mechanical adherence to published Referee Hand Signal D. obsessive devotion to pursuit of refereeing E. current international record holder of the most number of days in a year spent refereeing The title is unofficially handed down by a representative of the FOC upon positive identification of the ideal candidate in each generation. This gesture is a tribute to Styx and one of its songs’ relevance to legitimization of modern fencing referees.
When you can achieve 90-degrees elbow like Mr Roboto, you know you are ready for the next level.
Domo arigato, Mr Roboto… |

We are placing an order this week for a VSM setup (the computer scoring system and reels) and additional foils and jackets. These should be here in a couple of weeks and in use by the end on the month. With two scoring set-ups we can now run effective competitions in the Blue Mountains.
Be sure to read up on hand judging a bout in “referee Terms” under “Scoring a Fencing Bout”. We want everyone in the club to get their chops up in bout scoring.
