Armband sets are needed to enhance the accuracy of the devices. They need to be in direct contact with your skin while fencing, and connected to the pocket boxes 4th (standalone) socket. We recommend putting on your armband to your unarmed upper arm (but will work anywhere else as well).
We recommend fencers to have their own armband sets trainings because of hygienic reasons and for convenience. The armbands can be washed.
Settings
Currently, the default setting is "on" for autoscoring while using the app. Tap the "Menu" icon at the bottom of the screen, go to "Settings" (left hand side) and turn off "automatic touch count".
For épée and foil, there is nothing extraordinary to pay attention to while dressing up in fencing uniform. For sabre, armband sets are needed. The armbands need to be in direct contact with the fencers' skin - don't forget to put them up before the fencing jacket and lamé. We will release a separate guide for sabre in a week at this link.
We recommend using body wires and lamés that are in a good condition for the best fencing experience.
