60 second quiz!
In fencing competitions the format dictates that in a direct elimination match you have one minute breaks after 3 and 6 minutes. That is all the time you get to decide your ongoing strategy so how do you use it most effectively? My advice would be:
Grab a drink
Listen to your coach
If you haven't got a coach there...
Consider the position in the fight; are you ahead? Behind?
If you are behind you need to start scoring points, if ahead you need to either finish it off or guard the lead.
Has your opponent got any tell tale moves that allow you to score?
What are they doing well?
What are they doing badly?
What do you need to do differently? General rule of thumb; if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Is there anything that the President is affecting?
Is he calling you for certain infringements?
That should occupy 60 seconds!

Added to that may I postulate that "If it isn't broke, don't break it."?
