What is the penalty for repeatedly fouling during a match?

The situation described involves a penalty system designed to manage the conduct of fencers during a match. When a fencer commits a foul, the standard procedure is to first issue a warning. This approach serves as a mechanism to inform the athlete of their misconduct while providing an opportunity to correct their behavior. If the fouling continues after the initial warning, further penalties can be imposed, which may include point deductions or even disqualification from the match depending on the severity and frequency of the infractions.

This graduated penalty system is crucial in maintaining the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship in fencing. It allows referees to address infractions in a manner that encourages players to improve their conduct rather than facing immediate severe consequences. The other options suggest either no penalty or an overly harsh response, which does not align with the principle of promoting fair competition through corrective measures.
