Competition format

The 1984 tournament used a three-phase format similar to that of 1976 and 1980, though the final phase was different.

The first phase was a multi-round round-robin pool play format; each fencer in a pool faced each other fencer in that pool once. There were three pool rounds:

  • The first round had 6 pools of 7 fencers each, with the top 5 in each pool advancing.
  • The second round had 6 pools of 5 fencers each, with the top 4 in each pool advancing.
  • The third round had 4 pools of 6 fencers each, with the top 4 in each pool advancing.

The second phase was a truncated double-elimination tournament. Four fencers advanced to the final round through the winners brackets and four more advanced via the repechage.

The final phase was a single elimination tournament with a bronze medal match. (This was changed from a 6-woman final round-robin pool in previous years.)

Bouts in the round-robin pools were to 5 touches; bouts in the double-elimination and final rounds were to 8 touches.

Round 1 Pool C

A barrage was necessary because Bradford and Sinigaglia finished with identical win–loss records, touches against, and touches for. Sinigaglia had won the round-robin bout between the two, but Bradford prevailed 5–0 in the barrage to advance to the second round.
