The competition began with a preliminary stage where fencers were divided into two pools and played a round robin tournament.

Next was a knock-out stage, where fencers competed in three three-minute bouts with a one-minute break between each. The winner was the first to reach fifteen hits, or the one with the highest score at the end of the last bout. In the event of a tie, another one-minute bout was held, with the winner being the first to score a hit.

The event was won by Yu Chui Yee, representing  Hong Kong. [2]
