APPENDIX A: Letter from CBC confirming schedule change for the BEC2009, sent to all the participating nations.
CPISRA Boccia Committee Beneden Leeuwen, 14-06-09 The Netherlands Re: Schedule change Boccia European Championship 2009
To whom it may concern: On behalf of the CPISRA Boccia Committee I herewith inform you about the following change in the schedule of the Boccia European Championship 2009 in Povoa de Varzim – Portugal :
The decision to change the schedule is based on the fact that on June the 28th a major Portuguese Holiday is celebrated until late in the evening. This holiday is celebrated with a parade and lots of music in the streets of Povoa de Varzim.
The Technical Delegate Peter Pearse and the HOC of the BEC 2009 were faced with the fact due to the high number of participants to either break up the individual competition with the rest day or to have the KO games on the day after the big party. Neither seemed to be a good alternative.
After thorough consultation with the CPISRA Classification Officer Joan Steele-Mills and Head of Classification CBC Elsa Matthee, the Technical Delegate Peter Pearse and HOC of the BEC 2009 decided that the best alternative option was playing the Teams and Pairs Competition first.
The TD and Head of Classification have discussed potential issues that might arise due to the Teams and Pairs Events preceding the Individual Events. The Head of Classification will write the guidelines that shall resolve all issues relating to this change. The guidelines will be produced as soon as possible so that all participating Nations are clear about the procedures that shall govern events and issues. 24
Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 25th to July 2nd
On behalf of the CPISRA Boccia Committee I can assure you that we entirely support the decision to change the schedule as mentioned above and believe that the decision was taken in the best interest of all participating athletes.
Wishing you all a fantastic competition during the Boccia European Championship 2009,
I remain, with kind regards, Corneel van der Heiden Chair CPISRA Boccia Committee

APPENDIX B: Letter from The CPISRA Boccia Committee Chair, sent to all the participating nations regarding Classification process for the Boccia European Championship 2009
CPISRA Boccia Committee Beneden Leeuwen, 2-06-09 The Netherlands Re: Classification process for the Boccia European Championship 2009
To whom it may concern:
On behalf of the CPISRA Boccia Commitee, the Technical Delegate Peter Pearse and the Chief Classifier Elsa Matthee of the Boccia European Championship 2009 I herewith send you the guidelines that govern the classification process for the BEC 2009.
To accommodate the change in Schedule at the Boccia European Championships 2009, where the Teams and Pairs Events precede the Individual Events, there will be necessary changes in the Classification Process as outlined in Section 3 of the CPISRA Classification and Sports Rule Manual 9th Edition 2005-2008.
Changes in the classification process for the BEC 2009 Existing Rule 3.6.9 states “The classification team must provide the athlete with his or her classification category no later than: Boccia – at the end of the pools.” ●
The classification team must provide the athlete with his or her classification category
with CRS (Competition Review Status): Boccia – after the Individual classification session prior to the championship. 26
Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 25th to July 2nd
Observation: Athlete plays
Under observation, in Teams BC1/2, if the Athlete plays and it is deemed necessary to change their Classification Assignment then that one match has to be replayed. If reclassification results in a Team having no eligible BC1 Athlete, that team will be removed from the event (Boccia Rule: 4.8)
The athlete found Not Eligible or reclassified from BC1 to BC2, as well as the team manager will be notified immediately after the match to report for reclassification by the 2nd classification panel.
There will be NO need to replay the match if the change in Classification Assignment is:
BC2 to BC1; or
BC1 to BC2 AND there was another BC1 on court for all the match
Under observation, in Pairs BC3, on the field of play the classifiers can only confirm the device/method the athlete use to release the ball.
Under observation, in Pairs BC4, if the Athlete plays and it is deemed that an Athlete is Not Eligible:
The athlete found Not Eligible as well as the team manager will be notified immediately after the match to report for reclassification by the 2nd classification panel.
To avoid protests in this event, all the athletes that change class or are found Not Eligible will be seen by the two teams of classifiers. Athlete does not play
Athletes who do not appear in preliminary rounds may not compete in the knock out matches including finals of Teams/Pair event. 27
Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 25th to July 2nd
All the athletes will enter the individual competition with the Status given after team and pairs and if not observed during Teams/ Pairs the athlete will be observed on the first day of Individual competition.
With kind regards, Corneel van der Heiden Chair CPISRA Boccia Committee

APPENDIX F Competition Structure, Organization & Pool Configurations
Competition System
Preliminary Stage For the Preliminary Stage of Competition, Sides are divided into Pools for the Round Robin matches. The constitution of pools for the Individual, Pairs and Team events has been determined by the TD.
Top-placed Sides in each pool will advance to the Finals Stage. The number of Sides that progress to the Single Elimination Rounds depends on the constitution of the pools.
Finals Stage The top-placed Sides as determined by the Preliminary Stage of matches shall compete in the Finals Stage. The winning Sides of Elimination matches progress to the next Elimination round of the competition, and losing Sides are eliminated from the competition. Those Sides that lose at the semi-final stage shall be required to play-off for the Bronze Medal.
To establish the Final Positions of Sides within each pool, the following criteria will be applied sequentially:
1st
The Side that has won the most matches.
2nd
If more than one Side has won the same number of matches, the Side that has the
best points difference, (points in favour minus points against) shall be given the higher position in the Pool. The points obtained in tie-break ends shall not be included.
33
Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 25th to July 2nd
3rd
Should the above fail to determine the positions, the Side who scored the most
points in favour shall be given the higher position in the Pool. The points obtained in tiebreak ends shall not be included. 4th
Should the above fail to determine the positions, an extra end will be played
between the two Sides. This extra end will be played as a tie-break end. The Team Managers will be informed of match start time.
Where more players are required to progress from Pools, the “best runners-up” must be determined. To establish the “best runners-up” from Sides belonging to different pools, the following criteria will be applied sequentially: 1st
The Side with the best points difference, as a result of the total points in favour
versus the points against, divided by the number of matches played (not including points obtained in tie-breaks) shall be given the higher position.
2nd
Should the above fail to establish the “best runner-up”, then the Side who scored
the most points in favour, divided by the number of matches played (not including points obtained in tie-breaks) shall be given the higher position. 3rd
Should the above fail to establish the “best runner-up”, then an extra end will be
played between the two Sides. The winner of the extra end will claim the “best runnerup” place. The Team Managers will be informed of match start time. The above criteria above shall also determine which Sides claim the positions of 1 st “best runner-up”, 2nd “best runner-up” etc.
1.2
Pool Constitution
34
Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 25th to July 2nd
Pool constitution is based on the most recent Boccia Official World Ranking List published on the CPISRA website.
Sides will be seeded according to World Ranking, as identified in the CBC Ranking Lists 2008. Every Side with a current World Ranking shall be seeded. Those Sides not seeded will be placed in pools, randomly.
The Pool configuration must ensure that no more than two athletes from the same country are in the same pool. In the unlikely event that a third athlete from the same country is drawn in the same Pool, then this athlete must swap Pools with the athlete who is ranked one position higher on the Boccia World Ranking List.

Pool Configurations - Boccia European Championship 2009, Povoa de Varzim
The Pool Configurations I have decided to use at the BEC2009. It replaces those contained in the 'Boccia Competition Structure' document that many nations have in their possession. In fact it takes away all uncertainty created by that document. I have covered a large 'parameter' to cover the possible changes Games = Total Number of Games in Pool Phase

APPENDIX A: Letter from CBC confirming schedule change for the BEC2009, sent to all the participating nations.
CPISRA Boccia Committee Beneden Leeuwen, 14-06-09 The Netherlands Re: Schedule change Boccia European Championship 2009
To whom it may concern: On behalf of the CPISRA Boccia Committee I herewith inform you about the following change in the schedule of the Boccia European Championship 2009 in Povoa de Varzim – Portugal :
The decision to change the schedule is based on the fact that on June the 28th a major Portuguese Holiday is celebrated until late in the evening. This holiday is celebrated with a parade and lots of music in the streets of Povoa de Varzim.
The Technical Delegate Peter Pearse and the HOC of the BEC 2009 were faced with the fact due to the high number of participants to either break up the individual competition with the rest day or to have the KO games on the day after the big party. Neither seemed to be a good alternative.
After thorough consultation with the CPISRA Classification Officer Joan Steele-Mills and Head of Classification CBC Elsa Matthee, the Technical Delegate Peter Pearse and HOC of the BEC 2009 decided that the best alternative option was playing the Teams and Pairs Competition first.
The TD and Head of Classification have discussed potential issues that might arise due to the Teams and Pairs Events preceding the Individual Events. The Head of Classification will write the guidelines that shall resolve all issues relating to this change. The guidelines will be produced as soon as possible so that all participating Nations are clear about the procedures that shall govern events and issues. 24
Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 25th to July 2nd
On behalf of the CPISRA Boccia Committee I can assure you that we entirely support the decision to change the schedule as mentioned above and believe that the decision was taken in the best interest of all participating athletes.
Wishing you all a fantastic competition during the Boccia European Championship 2009,
I remain, with kind regards, Corneel van der Heiden Chair CPISRA Boccia Committee

APPENDIX B: Letter from The CPISRA Boccia Committee Chair, sent to all the participating nations regarding Classification process for the Boccia European Championship 2009
CPISRA Boccia Committee Beneden Leeuwen, 2-06-09 The Netherlands Re: Classification process for the Boccia European Championship 2009
To whom it may concern:
On behalf of the CPISRA Boccia Commitee, the Technical Delegate Peter Pearse and the Chief Classifier Elsa Matthee of the Boccia European Championship 2009 I herewith send you the guidelines that govern the classification process for the BEC 2009.
To accommodate the change in Schedule at the Boccia European Championships 2009, where the Teams and Pairs Events precede the Individual Events, there will be necessary changes in the Classification Process as outlined in Section 3 of the CPISRA Classification and Sports Rule Manual 9th Edition 2005-2008.
Changes in the classification process for the BEC 2009 Existing Rule 3.6.9 states “The classification team must provide the athlete with his or her classification category no later than: Boccia – at the end of the pools.” ●
The classification team must provide the athlete with his or her classification category
with CRS (Competition Review Status): Boccia – after the Individual classification session prior to the championship. 26
Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 25th to July 2nd
Observation: Athlete plays
Under observation, in Teams BC1/2, if the Athlete plays and it is deemed necessary to change their Classification Assignment then that one match has to be replayed. If reclassification results in a Team having no eligible BC1 Athlete, that team will be removed from the event (Boccia Rule: 4.8)
The athlete found Not Eligible or reclassified from BC1 to BC2, as well as the team manager will be notified immediately after the match to report for reclassification by the 2nd classification panel.
There will be NO need to replay the match if the change in Classification Assignment is:
BC2 to BC1; or
BC1 to BC2 AND there was another BC1 on court for all the match
Under observation, in Pairs BC3, on the field of play the classifiers can only confirm the device/method the athlete use to release the ball.
Under observation, in Pairs BC4, if the Athlete plays and it is deemed that an Athlete is Not Eligible:
The athlete found Not Eligible as well as the team manager will be notified immediately after the match to report for reclassification by the 2nd classification panel.
To avoid protests in this event, all the athletes that change class or are found Not Eligible will be seen by the two teams of classifiers. Athlete does not play
Athletes who do not appear in preliminary rounds may not compete in the knock out matches including finals of Teams/Pair event. 27
Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 25th to July 2nd
All the athletes will enter the individual competition with the Status given after team and pairs and if not observed during Teams/ Pairs the athlete will be observed on the first day of Individual competition.
With kind regards, Corneel van der Heiden Chair CPISRA Boccia Committee

APPENDIX F Competition Structure, Organization & Pool Configurations
Competition System
Preliminary Stage For the Preliminary Stage of Competition, Sides are divided into Pools for the Round Robin matches. The constitution of pools for the Individual, Pairs and Team events has been determined by the TD.
Top-placed Sides in each pool will advance to the Finals Stage. The number of Sides that progress to the Single Elimination Rounds depends on the constitution of the pools.
Finals Stage The top-placed Sides as determined by the Preliminary Stage of matches shall compete in the Finals Stage. The winning Sides of Elimination matches progress to the next Elimination round of the competition, and losing Sides are eliminated from the competition. Those Sides that lose at the semi-final stage shall be required to play-off for the Bronze Medal.
To establish the Final Positions of Sides within each pool, the following criteria will be applied sequentially:
1st
The Side that has won the most matches.
2nd
If more than one Side has won the same number of matches, the Side that has the
best points difference, (points in favour minus points against) shall be given the higher position in the Pool. The points obtained in tie-break ends shall not be included.
33
Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 25th to July 2nd
3rd
Should the above fail to determine the positions, the Side who scored the most
points in favour shall be given the higher position in the Pool. The points obtained in tiebreak ends shall not be included. 4th
Should the above fail to determine the positions, an extra end will be played
between the two Sides. This extra end will be played as a tie-break end. The Team Managers will be informed of match start time.
Where more players are required to progress from Pools, the “best runners-up” must be determined. To establish the “best runners-up” from Sides belonging to different pools, the following criteria will be applied sequentially: 1st
The Side with the best points difference, as a result of the total points in favour
versus the points against, divided by the number of matches played (not including points obtained in tie-breaks) shall be given the higher position.
2nd
Should the above fail to establish the “best runner-up”, then the Side who scored
the most points in favour, divided by the number of matches played (not including points obtained in tie-breaks) shall be given the higher position. 3rd
Should the above fail to establish the “best runner-up”, then an extra end will be
played between the two Sides. The winner of the extra end will claim the “best runnerup” place. The Team Managers will be informed of match start time. The above criteria above shall also determine which Sides claim the positions of 1 st “best runner-up”, 2nd “best runner-up” etc.
1.2
Pool Constitution
34
Póvoa de Varzim – Portugal June 25th to July 2nd
Pool constitution is based on the most recent Boccia Official World Ranking List published on the CPISRA website.
Sides will be seeded according to World Ranking, as identified in the CBC Ranking Lists 2008. Every Side with a current World Ranking shall be seeded. Those Sides not seeded will be placed in pools, randomly.
The Pool configuration must ensure that no more than two athletes from the same country are in the same pool. In the unlikely event that a third athlete from the same country is drawn in the same Pool, then this athlete must swap Pools with the athlete who is ranked one position higher on the Boccia World Ranking List.

Pool Configurations - Boccia European Championship 2009, Povoa de Varzim
The Pool Configurations I have decided to use at the BEC2009. It replaces those contained in the 'Boccia Competition Structure' document that many nations have in their possession.
