The UIPM fencing format has been changed starting from the ongoing world cup season 

in qualification:

the format is the same conventional one when the player play a one touch game against the opponent in his group

 

but starting from semifinal there will be a seeding round (with no actual points) and based on the seeding order a knockout stage will start with 1 minute round and whoever gets 5 points wins (or the leader after 1 minute finish)

also the double touch are counted similar to conventional Epee 

 

still not very clear if Olympics will start from seeding or start with normal point round in semi and seeding only in final

It is mentioned clearly in 2025 version of UIPM rules as there will be a separate ranking for fencing only

 

 

* Athletes/relay teams are seeded for the Direct Elimination within their respective Semi-final or Final group according to their result in the Fencing Seeding Round. In the Olympic Games, Youth Olympic Games and World Cup Finals, athletes will be seeded for the Fencing Direct Elimination based on their FWR

 

 

* The final ranking for pentathletes or relay teams eliminated in the same round will be determined based on their rank from the Fencing Seeding Round. In the Olympic Games, Youth Olympic Games and World Cup Finals, where no Fencing Seeding Round is held, their final ranking will be determined by their Fencing World Ranking.
