The fencing ranking round take place on the first day. The final day consists of the following phases: swimming, fencing bonus round, riding and laser run. Athletes achieve points in each phase according to their performance. The points from each modern pentathlon phase are cumulative. The final ranking is decided by the number of modern pentathlon points scored in all phases. In the last phase, the laser-run, the athletes will start with a handicap time based on the conversion of the total modern pentathlon points (cumulative points after riding phase) into time (1 MP point = one second). This means that the final ranking corresponds to the finishing order in the laser run, which means that the athlete who crosses the finish line first wins the gold medal. FENCING RANKING ROUND The fencing ranking round is organised as a round robin. Each athlete will fence against all other athletes with an electric epee in a round robin system. The target area is the whole body and one hit earns a win. The fencing athletes will receive points according to the number of victories achieved with the penalty points deducted. The number of points for each victory depends on the number of athletes competing, according to International Modern Pentathlon Federation (UIPM) rules. All athletes will be ranked according to the following criteria: number of points achieved in the ranking round, then number of victories. All athletes will be drawn into pairs of two athletes, from a single NOC or mixed NOCs. The draw for the fencing pairs and assignment of the pistes for each event will be made by the technical delegate before the technical meeting for both events. The fencing team rounds will take place on nine pistes (plus one reserve piste). The ranking round final standings will be used to determine the start list for the fencing bonus round. SWIMMING The swimming phase is a 200m freestyle race. Athletes will be seeded into one of the heats according to their best PWR swimming time in the last 12 months (25m pool). The start list for the swimming phase of the individual events will be prepared before the technical meeting.

Each bout is for one hit in 30 seconds. The athletes will be placed according to their position from the ranking round. The competition will be carried out in reverse order, with the last-placed athlete fencing first against the next-placed athlete. The winner of each bout will be matched against the next best-ranked athlete. In this way, an athlete may continue to advance as long as they continue to win bouts. RIDING The athletes ride unfamiliar horses over 12 show-jumping obstacles (15 jumps). Jumps are up to 120cm in height and 130cm in spread, and include one double and one triple. The riding course is between 400-450m in length. Athletes pick their horses by draw and have 20 minutes and five practice jumps for warm-up. The start order is the reverse of the rank after the previous events. Athletes who are eliminated in riding can still compete in the laser run. LASER RUN The athlete with the most MP points after three phases starts first at the start signal (0'00") and will shoot at station No.1 in the laser-run. The remaining athletes start with time handicaps (one second for every one MP point behind the leader after three phases). A pack start may be used for athletes who have a handicap time over a certain time e.g. two minutes, with calculation of final results after the finish. This handicap start means that the final ranking corresponds to the finishing order in the laser run. The laser run consists of a 3200m run and four shooting series. Each shooting series consists of clearing five electronic laser precision targets using a laser pistol. Each shooting series is limited to 50 seconds. The course is composed of: 20m run; first shooting; 800m run; second shooting; 800m run; third shooting; 800m run; fourth shooting; 800m run to the finish. The athletes will be ranked according to their arrival at the finish line. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE UIPM PENTATHLON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS AND THE OLYMPIC GAMES The following events are on the programme of a UIPM Pentathlon World Championships: individual competition, team competition and relay competition for men and women, and mixed relay. Due to the number of the participants in the individual competition (more than 36 athletes) there is a qualification round for the final. The final has the same format as the Olympic Games with 36 athletes. CHANGES SINCE THE RIO 2016 OLYMPIC GAMES Swimming phase: one MP point is added or deducted for every half a second faster or slower than the set time (was one MP point per third of a second). Fencing bonus round: The length of each bout has been changed to 30 seconds (was 45 seconds). Riding phase: Course length will be 400-450m (previously 350-400m). If an athlete in the first round of riding has two falls, the athlete scheduled to ride the same horse in the second round can draw a reserve horse.

SPORT RULES AND PROCEDURES FENCING RANKING ROUND The 36 athletes each take part in 35 bouts. A total score of 70 per cent victories (25 bouts) equals 250 MP points. Each extra victory adds six MP points and each extra defeat deducts six MP points. If an athlete fails to score any victories in the ranking round, they will score zero MP points. SWIMMING A time of two minutes and 30 seconds earns 250 MP points. One MP point is added or deducted for every half a second faster or slower than this time. A false start in swimming is given 10 penalty points. FENCING BONUS ROUND The points achieved by the athletes in the ranking round (round robin) are carried over to the bonus round. Athletes do not lose points if they are defeated but their fencing phase is over. In the case of a double defeat, the winner of the bout is the athlete placed higher on the start list. The bout winner receives one bonus MP point for each bout that they win. If the winner of the ranking round wins their bout in the bonus round, they receive two bonus points. The penalty for a red card offence is one MP point. Any pentathlete that does not start or withdraws for any reason during the bonus round will be eliminated from the fencing phase and will score zero points in ranking and bonus rounds. An athlete who is eliminated, withdrawn or disqualified will receive zero fencing MP points and will be placed at the bottom of the ranking. RIDING A clear round in the time allowed earns the athlete 300 MP points. All penalty points are deducted from this amount. Time allowed and time limit depend on the length of the course and arena size. LASER RUN An athlete earns 500 MP points for a time of 13 minutes and 20 seconds. One MP point is added or deducted for every one second faster or slower than this time. Event tiebreak rules If there is a tie between two or more athletes after two, three or four phases (and placings cannot be determined by laser-run photo-finish), the athlete with the best result in the last phase will be ranked in the higher position. If the tie remains, the athlete with the best result in the previous phase will be ranked in the higher position, and so on. If the tie cannot be broken, the athlete with the higher Pentathlon World Ranking (PWR) will be ranked higher.
