3.4 Exceptional Cases

IFs

YOAC not received or lost before departure to China

For those who have been accredited but not received YOAC before

their departure to China, IFs may contact with NYOGOC IF Services

to acquire invitation letter which can be used for visa application via

Chinese embassy.

When entering China without holding a PVC

For the foreign accredited people (with an exception of NYOGOC

staff) who have passed the background check and visa check, when

entering China without holding a PVC, they can apply for the Port Visa

using the invitation letter issued by the NYOGOC.

Passport Changed after Being Accredited

If a participant changed a passport after he/she has been accredited

and the new passport number is different from that printed on the

PVC, he/she will be requested to show both the new and the old

passports when entering China. If the old passport cannot been

shown, the participant will need to provide a photocopy of the

personal information page of the old passport.

Page 17: Fencing - mat1.gtimg.com

13

Note: YOAC can only be served as entry visa into China. Participants will be required to go through normal immigration procedures including filling out the Arrivals/Departure Cards, Custom Declaration and Inspection & Quarantine.

3.5 Validation of YOACs

A YOAC becomes “valid” to access to the YOG venues only after it is

activated through the process of validation at an Accreditation Center

or a Venue Accreditation Office (VAO).

During the validation, the holder of a YOAC must present his/her

passport or other official travel document with the number same

as that printed on his/her YOAC. A YOAC cannot be validated if the

data recorded in the Accreditation System is not consistent with that

shown on his/her YOAC or passport. If a YOAC cannot be validated,

the holder should proceed to Problem Resolution at an Accreditation

Center.

3.6 Problem Resolution

The Problem Resolution service is available only at an Accreditation

Center. Venue Accreditation Offices (VAOs) will not provide such

service.

Under the following circumstances, a participant is required to go

through the process of Problem Resolution:

● YOAC cannot be validated,

● When a new participant is added by his/her IF,

●  When a participant needs to have his/her YOAC produced because

of not having received a YOAC,

●  When a participant needs to be issued with a new card because of

YOAC stolen, lost or damaged,

● When an accreditation is cancelled or needs to be withdrawn,

Page 18: Fencing - mat1.gtimg.com

14

●  Other occasions that require solving the problems related to

accreditation.

Note: When a participant’s personal information is wrong, it may need to modify the data in the Accreditation System. If “key information” such as names, nationality and passport number is changed, the Background Check (BGC) and Visa Check must be re-processed. Only when the above-stated checks completed, can a new accreditation be re-issued. If there is no change of any “key information”, a new accreditation card can be re-printed immediately.

3.7 Withdrawal or Cancellation of the Accreditation

The IOC has the ultimate right to withdraw or cancel an Accreditation

Card. In the following cases, a YOAC should be cancelled:

●  If the IF or a participant from the IF violates the provisions of the

Olympic Charter;

●  If a participant breaches the code of conduct or does not comply

with IOC or NYOGOC policies/provisions/regulations.

●  If the IF participant is deleted or replaced by RO;

When an accreditation is cancelled, a YOAC should be withdrawn,

including two means:

●  Physical cancellation: When a YOAC is cancelled, it needs to be

punched on the barcode at an Accreditation Center.

●  System cancellation: In addition, the status of the card will be

changed to “Cancelled” in the Accreditation System. Once a YOAC

has been cancelled, the holder is not entitled to access to a YOG

venue anymore.

However, a cancelled accreditation card may be returned to its holder

after physical cancellation if the card needs to be used as exit visa.

3.8 YOAC Stolen, Lost or Damaged after Validation

Holders must keep their YOACs safely to prevent from any possible

theft, loss or damage.

In case of theft, loss or damage of the YOAC, the holder must report

Page 19: Fencing - mat1.gtimg.com

15

immediately to his/her IF. The IF must report to the MAC in written

form in time.

MAC will cancel the lost YOAC in the Accreditation System.

When a holder wants to be reissued with a new YOAC after the old

one is stolen, lost or damaged, his IF must fill out of an Accreditation

problem-resolving sheet and sent it after signed and sealed by an

authorized person of the IF to MAC or 3 Accreditation centers by

written form, fax or e-mail. After the new YOAC is reproduced,

the client service will notify the IF to claim the card in MAC or

Accreditation centers.

NTOs

1、Modification of the accredited information

Once the Accreditation Status Report is confirmed, the NTO’s

accredited information still be needed to modified, the Sports

Department must fill out of an Accreditation problem-resolving sheet

with the signature and handling suggestions by an authorized person

of the Sports Department and submit it to MAC.

If “key information”(family name, given name, gender, date of birth,

type of ID document, ID card number, nationality, permanent address,

current address) is changed, the Background Check (BGC) must be

re-processed.

2、YOAC Stolen, Lost or Damaged after Validation

Holders must keep their YOACs safely to prevent from any possible

theft, loss or damage.

In case of theft, loss or damage of a YOAC, the holder must report

immediately to the Sports Department. The Sports Department must

report to the MAC in written form in time.

MAC will cancel the lost YOAC in the Accreditation System.

When a new YOAC needed after the old one is stolen, lost or

5. Competition Format

The Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympic Games Fencing Competition

comprises three individual events for men, three individual events for

women and one mixed team event including all weapons. A total of 78

athletes compete in the seven fencing events at the Youth Olympic

Games.

The Fencing Competition is held at the Nanjing International Expo

Center from August 17 to August 20, 2014.

1. Individual Events

Each individual event consists of two phases: a pool round and a

direct elimination phase.

Pool Round:

In the pool round, all fencers are allocated into pools with a maximum

of seven (7) fencers in each pool. The fencers are allocated according

to their initial ranking which is based on the 2014 Cadet World

Championships results. Fencers compete against all others in their

pool. The ranking after the poules is calculated based on standard FIE

rules and used to seed fencers into the direct elimination bracket.

The direct elimination in the individual events is divided into the round

of 16, the quarterfinals, the semifinals and finals. The winners of the

semifinals compete for gold and silver medals and the losers compete

for bronze medal. If there is more than 16 fencers in an individual

event, a round of 32 format will be added.

Page 32: Fencing - mat1.gtimg.com

28

2. Team Event

The team event competition is a direct elimination, divided into a

round of 16, the quarterfinals and the semifinals and finals.

The initial ranking to place the teams in the bracket of 16 is based on

the results of the team members in the individual competitions of the

Youth Olympic Games.

A team consists of one male and one female foil fencer, one male and

one female épée fencer and one male and one female sabre fencer

of three men and three women. In a team match, each fencer/weapon

specialist opposes the fencer/weapon specialist of the same weapon

and gender from the other team.

Two (2) days before the start of the individual competition, during

the Team Managers' meeting, a draw is organized to determine the

order of the weapons during team matches. Genders and weapons

are alternated. For example, if the draw is Women's Foil for the first

bout in the team match, there is a draw between the Men's Epée

and Men's Sabre for the second bout in order to alternate gender and

weapons.

3. Differences between other FIE team championships and the

Youth Olympic Games

The team composition for the FIE team competitions is based on

NOC level. In the Youth Olympic Games, teams are composed on

continental level. The FIE team competitions are single weapon and

single gender whereas the team competition of Youth Olympic Games

is mixed gender and mixed weapon.

6. Competition Rules

The Fencing Competitions at the Youth Olympic Games are held in

accordance with the FIE Rules of Fencing and the Olympic Charter,

Page 33: Fencing - mat1.gtimg.com

29

which are in force at the time of the 2014 Youth Olympic Games.

1. Individual EventsDuring the pool round phase each bout consists of one period of

three (3) minutes. The fencer who first scores five valid hits on

the opponent or scores the most hits by the end of the bout time is

the winner.

In the event of a tie at the end of the three (3) minutes, fencers

fence for a further one (1) minute. The first fencer to score a hit is

the winner. A draw conducted by the referee prior to the start of this

minute determines the winner if neither fencer scores during the extra

time period.

During the direct elimination phase, each bout consists of three

periods of three (3) minutes each, with a break of one (1) minute

between periods. The fencer who first scores 15 valid hits on the

opponent or scores the most hits by the end of the bout time is the

winner.

If the fencers are tied at the end of normal bout time, one (1) minute

extra time is fenced. The first fencer to score a hit on the opponent is

the winner. Prior to the start of extra time, a draw is held to determine

the winner, if neither fencer scores during the extra time period.

In case of non-combatively, the referee may decide to shorten the

period and move on directly to the next period, without any interval

between the periods. If this happens during the third period, the

period is interrupted and a one (1) minute extra time period is fenced,

but in this case the full minute is fenced to determine the winner.

Prior to the start of extra time, a draw is held to determine the winner,

if neither fencer scores during the extra time period.

2. Team EventA match between two teams consists of six bouts:

The first bout will finish when the first fencer makes five hits, or after

three (3) minutes if neither of them has made five hits.

Page 34: Fencing - mat1.gtimg.com

30

The second bout will finish when the first fencer reaches the team

cumulative score of ten, or at the end of bout time. The third bout will

finish when the first fencer reaches the team cumulative score of 15,

at the end of bout time and so on.

A team match is finished either when one team reaches 30 hits or at

the end of bout time of the sixth bout.

In the event of a tie at the end of the last bout of a team match, the

fencers will continue fencing for a further one (1) minute. The first

fencer to score a hit is the winner. A draw conducted by the referee

prior to the start of this minute determines the winner if neither fencer

scores during the extra time period.

7. Clothing and Equipment

the Youth Olympic Games Fencing Competition must comply with the

FIE Constitution and Technical Rules and with the Bye-Law to Rule
