programme. It was the sixth appearance of the event. The competition was held from 5 August 1932 to 7 August 1932. 32 fencers from 7 nations competed, with two other nations entering but not appearing. Each team could have a maximum of six fencers, with four participating in any given match. The competition format continued the pool play round-robin from prior years, but increased the number of touches to win a bout to 3.Official Report, p. 509 Each of the four fencers from one team would face each of the four from the other, for a total of 16 bouts per match. The team that won more bouts won the match. Matches were sometimes stopped when one team had mathematically won (e.g., Belgium against Canada was stopped at 9–2), but sometimes not (United States against Canada played all the way to 15–1). Pool matches unnecessary to the result were not played (with Belgium and the United States both beating Canada, the result between those two countries would not affect qualification and thus they did not face each other; the same thing happened in the semifinal with Italy and Belgium).
