Épée bout competition
A fencing match is a competitive bout between two opponents using swords—foil, épée, or sabre—following formal rules and scoring by touches.
Matches occur on a narrow strip called a piste, with electronic equipment registering valid hits: She won her fencing match 15-12.
The term occasionally appears figuratively for verbal sparring or diplomatic exchanges.
