your out of the tournament

I don't know who invented baseball and basketball. Introduction soccer the most popular sport in the world has been played for about three thousand years. The people who ruled most of the world played football but not the same as today.The Greeks and ancient Romans played football similar to the one we play today but at that point in time there could be up to twenty seven people on one team. It is also said the Romans played with there enimies heads. Football in the medieval times. They also played football in medieval times but it was usually villages against each other hundreds of villagers took part mostly the tough people because there wore no rules in this game you could bite, kick and punch. Before the game there was one marked spot where you had to get the ball, the games could last a whole day. In England and Scottland they tried to ban football and later Queen Elizabeth the first made a rule that anyone who played football had to stay in jail for one week, but it didn't stop it was too popular to be stopped. Football as we know it. Football with eleven a side and no kicking and punching wasn't founded before in 1863 but when it was it encouraged other countries join them.

yes as long as you follow your faint with an immediate other attack to enforce your attack so the ref will not call the action halt.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe your are referring to the French phrase "En garde", which translates in English to "On your guard".

Cell fractionation is basically just the breaking open of cells and separation of contents.

You can usually do it by grinding or in a blender if cells are big, or by freezing which liquid nitrogen which causes cell contents to expand and break open. All this is usually done at a buffered Ph and cold temperature to prevent damage to whatever protein or molecule in the cell one may be studying.

After all the contents are free they are usually separated by centrifugation and a series of purification steps, after which you can search for your molecule of interest using chromatography, gels, etc.

In modern fencing, the longest a 15 touch bout can last is ten minutes, including overtime, or Sudden Death. The longest a 5 touch bout can last is four minutes with Sudden Death.

FIE referees can make differing amounts of money depending on the competition, so there is no real set amount. They are typically reimbursed for any travel, lodging, food, and other expenses, depending on the amount of directing that they happen to do at the tournament. When it comes to a base pay simply for the work that they have done, however, it really depends on the size of a tournament, where it is located, and the importance of it.

When a fencer crosses the rear boundary of a fencing strip, his opponent will receive a point. This is the equivalent of receiving a red card.

It depends on your fencing style. Pistol grip will seem more comfortable to most fencers, especially beginners. It offers more precise movements, better point control, more powerful parries, and a better range of arm movements. Most fencers prefer the pistol grip.

For french grip, which suits classical fencers, the advantage is the ability to pommel, or hold the weapon from the back of the grip. While this takes away control and power, it provides the fencer with a few extra inches of reach, which can be crucial sometimes.

Overall, pistol grips are generally more suitable for foil fencers and some epee fencers, but tall, defensive epee fencers are good with the french grip. Also, it's much harder to train and fence with a french grip. It takes more practice and skill to use one effectively.

Yes there are.

There is a rectangular metal section where fencers are aloud in, this is called a pieste if they go off the back of this pieste, their opponent gets a point and if the go off the side they lose a metre, (so it is then possible they might end up off the back of the pieste as a consequence of going off the side)

Through the 2008 Games in Beijing, that was the 1964 Games in Tokyo when Bill Hoskyns won silver in men's Individual Épée.

Coaches

Yes, there have been many. For example, before the introduction of the electric scoring machine, there was only 'dry' fencing. There were multiple directors to ensure that no touches would be missed, and the 'honor system' was used. However, it was soon proved much more beneficial to use an electric system, where the blades are connected to bodycords, which are subsequently connected to the lame's(in Sabre and foil), and also connected to a reel, which registers touches on a scoring machine. With this machine, fencers had to adapt to different timing in attacks, as well as the 500milligram minimum weight required for the scoring light to go off.

A recent example of a rather significant rule change is that foilists are now required to wear electric bibs. The bibs on a foil mask are thought to be covering target area, and are now being electrified. This rule will take effect starting in the 2009 Senior world cup.

Are there any specific rule changes you're looking for?

Fencing has been a part of the Modern Olympics since the first Modern Olympic Games in 1896.
