Question for ya: In the olden days of dueling, were there rules and traditions that dictated what was proper and seemly in fencing? In other words, say one's opponent turned his back, would that mean that the contest was over? Did the duel have 'rounds' or innings or time outs? Or if one opponent was clearly - wildly - out done in skill would that the better one refuse the duel or would he use the fact to kill or immobilize the other? Would a young man fight an old one?

Was it a 'gentleman's game', in actual fact?
