126 CEB Information Yearbook 2006

Presidential Report 2006

The year 2006 stood under the dramatic infl uence of IBAF president Aldo Notari´s fi ght against the cancer followed by his death in July. President Notari was the overall leader of world’s baseball and his lost is something which still infl uences baseball’s world politic and baseball’s development.

On various circumstances the IBAF executive board decided to extend the election of a new president until March 2nd, 2007. The main points for this decision have been as much as possible unit through the worldwide federations and the so much expected and wanted return to the Olympics. On the other hand, it opens for the fi rst time the opportunity to unify also the professional world of baseball with the former amateur part which is organized in IBAF.

In March 2006 for the fi rst the Baseball Classic took place. The tournament organized by the and sanctioned by IBAF was a major success. Most of the games were sold out and merchandising of the participating teams over impressed the expectations.

In Europe the CEB development program earned his fi rst small success. Several baseball fi elds in the various countries together with national complexes like in Portugal or Belarus were opened in 2006. Croatia, Poland and Malta organized the fi rst ever CEB baseball promoter courses to introduce growth of our game of baseball in those and neighbour countries. The brand new project in Antalia, Turkey tells us that also in this big member country (big number of inhabitants) outside of the old European world baseball starts to establish itself.

Baseball development will continue the main issue of CEB’s politics. As we know that development starts in the very fi rst age groups CEB is going to start a joint venture with Little League Baseball to combine all youth baseball programs (12 and under) in one Europe wide program the CEB/LLB. A contract will be signed soon.

The visit of all European events by a CEB offi cial was another example of a more active role of the CEB in Europe’s baseball nations. From the feedbacks of our member federations this action was very much agreed and we will continue to do it.

The European Championship Seniors (also Olympic Qualifi er Beijing) in Spain and the European Championships Juniors in the Netherlands will dominate 2007 actions. Followed by the preparations for 2008 qualifi ers in 5 to 6 locations (3 are already decided Portugal, Lithuania, Slovakia – approval of TC and local conditions needed) all over Europe. This 2008 event will give for the fi rst time the opportunity for six nations to qualify for the European Championships 2009 and together with that open the possibility to promote baseball in six locations on a two year base.

I wish everybody a perfect baseball season and much success. But never forget to work together for the best future of our fabulous sport.

Yours

Martin Miller CEB President

128 Confederation of European Baseball

Secretary General Report 2006

Two years after the election of the new Executive Committee the activities on the European continent are infl uenced mainly by the status of baseball at the Olympic Games. Nothing else is so important and critical. Baseball must try to get back to the Olympic sports in 2009; we must subordinate absolutely everything to this aim. If we are again included in the Olympic program, we will keep on the same level as now. On the contrary the exclusion will mean radical falling-off of prestige and fi nance. Moreover it is unfortunately valid that getting to the program is much more diffi cult that staying there.

Communication The Infoletters were the main communication stream (14 editions). Since August 2006 I upgraded its form and according to an example of the Presidential Newsletter called it Secretary Newsletter (7 editions). After a discussion during the Executive Committee meeting in October it was decided to publish all information through the websites, and all the other communication ways were cancelled. At this meeting I also took over a responsibility for publishing articles at the C.E.B. News website. The articles are mainly prepared by Lucie Vladyková and we are successful in fi lling the website with news. Communication with member federation has improved and with approximately one half of the countries it is perfect and they respond immediately. Nevertheless there is still a group of countries that are in fact out of our reach. Primarily with this group I am constantly trying to communicate via fax and phone.

Meeting The Executive Committee met three times in 2006: in Stockholm (February 23-24), Vienna (May 6) and in Frankfurt (October 14). Mainly at the fi rst two meetings I had to face questions and doubts about sense, position and level of my work. It was an honour for me to visit meetings of the Technical Commission and of the Development Commission. We had a separate meeting to discuss the relationship to the President. I took part in the audit with the Treasurer.

Tournaments In 2006 I had possibility to visit three European tournaments (European Juniors Championship Qualifi er in Zory Rybnik, European Cadets Championship in Gijon and European Qualifi er in Moscow). These tournaments were really inspiring and I felt a feedback. It is a lot of work to organize each tournament and to organize a national team’s participation. This effort must be appreciated at least by praise and personal participation. I was proud for Europe because of the results of the Netherlands and Italy at the World Baseball Classic and during the Intercontinental Cup in Taiwan. It is no doubt that the both European countries belong to the world top and their progress is inspiring for other European countries. It befi ts to express congratulations also to all European tournaments’ winners: Cadets – Netherlands, Juveniles – the Czech Republic, Juniors Qualifi ers – Belgium and Poland, Seniors Qualifi ers – Croatia and Russia, Cadets Qualifi er – Germany, European Cup – B.C. San Marino, Cupwinners Cup – Minolta Pioneers and CEB Cup – Kelteks Karlovac.

Presentation The websites and materials in electronic form become the main stream of presentation. The last printed publication remained in 2006 the CEB Yearbook. The Yearbook is going to be a useful material thanks to the work and effort of Jiří Votinský, who is preparing it. I am just looking after it and getting materials.

Offi ce The main and basic change was the separation of Gaston Panaye’s work among more CEB Executive Committee members and the Chairman of the Technical Commission. According to the decision of the EC from April 2005 it is the most appropriate to imagine the CEB offi ce as virtual, where the separate components are joined by modern communication media. The offi cial seat and the archive are in

129 Yearbook 2006

Lausanne at the same address as the IBAF Headquarters. The post address and still a part of the archive are by the Secretary General in Prague in the building of the Czech Sports Association. Next part of agenda and offi ce is by the CEB President in Germany and fi nancial affairs by the Treasurer in Belgium. The agenda of the Technical Commission is arranged by its chairman Jan Esselman from the Netherlands. The development is organized by Gerard Vaandrager from the Netherlands. There is no other possibility of organization, as the job of each member is voluntary. In coherence with this fact I must refuse speculations that the Secretary General should do the voluntary job few hours a day.

Acknowledgement By this opportunity I would like to thank to all members of the baseball family for cooperation in the year 2006. I know that it is not easy and that we often demand professional output, although they have baseball as their hobby. Special thanks must be given to the Czech Baseball Association and especially to Lucie Vladyková. I would not be able to do this job in this extent without their comprehension and support. As a conclusion I would like to use the motto of the World University Baseball Championship 2008, which is being prepared in the Czech Republic: “Pleasure comes before business.”

I would like to wish you a lot of enjoyment with baseball in the season 2007. I am looking forward to cooperation in 2007.

Petr Ditrich CEB Secretary General

Development Committee Report 2006

Structure of the Development Committee (DC)

The composition of the DC was the same as in 2005: - Gerard Vaandrager (Chairman) - Attila Borbely - Eric-Pierre Dufour - Ake Halvarson - Sam Pelter - Aldo Vavra - Jan Esselman (representing the CEB Technical Committee) - Martin Miller (attended all meetings as CEB President) - Jason Holowaty (external member representing Major League Baseball International)

In the course of 2006, Charles van der Meijs was added to the DC as Executive Secretary. The committee members have all a number of European federations for which they act as the contact person.

In 2006 the DC gathered three times for an offi cial meeting (held in Stockholm, Vienna and Frankfurt).

Production of manuals

In order to assist the federations in their development activities the DC decided in 2005 to produce a number of manuals. - Manual Baseball Promoter: completed already in 2005. - Manual Field Construction (incl. Funding): completed in 2006.

130 Confederation of European Baseball

- Manuals for Scorers and Umpires: partly completed in 2006. - Manual for Coaches: decided was to use the already existing IBAF-manual “Rising Star Level” (by Steve Sotir) for this matter. A reprint will be made for distribution in 2007.

Activities

The in 2006 foreseen implementation of the Cuba Development Plan (designed with the generous help of the Cuban Baseball Federation; aimed to develop basic level coaches) had to be cancelled. The federations in Eastern Europe that had to take care for the local infrastructure informed the CEB DC that they were not yet ready to fulfi l the requirements.

The new CEB Baseball Promoter Course (aimed to educate people that can start baseball on the white spots in a country) was for the fi rst held in Poland with 8 participants. The second course was held in Zagreb in November with 22 participants. The Dutch Federation contributed much to these courses by sending an instructor.

The CEB DC was present in Portugal (Abrantes) at the offi cial opening of the fi rst offi cial baseball fi eld in Portugal. All credits for this achievement go to Sandra Monteiro, the energetic President of the Portuguese Baseball Federation.

On behalf of CEB Eric-Pierre Dufour is in contact with the Luxembourg authorities in order to arrange the offi cial recognition of the Luxemburg Baseball Federation by the Luxemburg Olympic Committee.

CEB is also trying to facilitate the introduction of baseball in the Mediterranean Games.

The original idea to repeat the Regional Meetings in 2006 was left because there was not suffi cient new content to be discussed. The 2nd round of Regional Meetings is now foreseen to be held during the CEB Annual Congress 2007.

With Major League Baseball discussions were held about the countries that are eligible for the MLB School Programme. Also the countries where to send Envoy Coaches to were discussed/advised. The initiative has been developed also to recruit a number of European coaches that can be sent to European countries for assistance. Also a discussion has been started to see if it is possible to interest MLB-organisations to collect baseball equipment for specifi c European countries.

The initiative to start with organising workshops during the CEB Annual Congress proved to be a success in 2006 (Stockholm). The DC will continue with these workshops at the Congress 2007.

Miscellaneous

The use of the revised CEB website for distributing Development news was not successful because of technical problems with the content management of the site.

Contacts have been made with the IBAF-secretariat in order to start cooperation with IBAF Development Committee, because development activities are for a large part a universal item.

Although in general contacts with the federations have been improved the DC still considers the lack of response by federations as one of the most serious problems in achieving the set targets.

Technical Commission

Technical Commission Report 2006

The Technical Commission met twice in 2006. Once in February during the congress in Stockholm and the second meeting was held on the 7th & 8th October in Prague. Many of the plans mentioned in the „Action Program 2006“ were achieved but there is still a lot to work to do. The main obstacle was the delayed improvement of the CEB Website and hopefully in 2007 we can publish several of our Manuals and adequate competition information.

In 2006, a total of 16 competitions were played. 8 Club competitions and 8 National team competitions were organized.

In the 3rd week of June, 56 teams of 26 different Federations participated in the European Cup competitions. In these Club competitions 25 Technical Commissioners, 63 International Umpires and 32 International scorers were active.

In July and in the beginning of August, 57 national team selections of 31 different Federations participated in the various European Championships. A total of 24 senior teams and 33 youth teams took part in these competitions, together with 24 technical commissioners, 72 international umpires and 36 international scorers.

Also in 2006, CEB umpire instructors and CEB scoring instructors gave several clinics. The clinics for Technical Commissioners have been moved to 2007.

Competitions 2006 Main remarks are that CEB should improve the level of the competitions and to achieve more balanced games. Important is to organize interesting competitions on various quality levels. It is better to play games between teams at the same level. Special attention of the Technical Commission is required on 1st time Organizers from developing Federations. On umpiring it is needed to work to improve the communication with Federations with weak umpiring performance in 2006 like Slovenia, Poland, Hungary and Ukraine. The Delegates and Commissioners made the following remarks.

EUROPEAN CUP A - Organizer: B.C. GROSSETO, ITALY Date: Tuesday 13th till Saturday 17th June. A well-organized competition. Some misunderstandings arose to set the playing dates but it was fi nally solved satisfactorily. Winner of the European Cup is San Marino. Relegated to the qualifi er 2007 are the club teams from Russia and Slovenia.

CUPWINNERS CUP A - Organizer: KRC ALTRON, PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC Date: Wednesday 14th till Sunday 18th June. A competition very well-organized by Krc Altron in Prague. Bracknell Blazers (GBR) withdrew from the Competition and Rojos de Tenerife didn‘t show up without any information. The Spanish Federation informed the T.C. to have some doubts about the participation of this club. Consequently the competition of the Cup Winners Cup was harmed and lost by this behaviour the needed exposure for baseball in Czechia and Europe. Hoofddorp Pioniers (NED) won the Cup Winners Cup. Relegated are the club teams of Belgium and Great Britain.

132 Confederation of European Baseball

CEB CUP A - Organizer: VILADECANS, BARCELONA, SPAIN Date: Tuesday 13th till Saturday 17th June. Well organized competition. There were some problems due to failure of light installation during an evening game. The game was declared a suspended game and continued the next morning. Russian team of Balashikha CSK VVS withdrew. This forced a competition of 7 teams. Cupwinner Keltecs Karlovac, Croatia. Relegated are the club teams of Sweden and Russia.

EUROPEAN CUP QUALIFIER - Organizer ZUBRS, BREST, BELARUS Date: Tuesday 13th till Sunday 18th June. Well organized competition. Everything worked very well. No inspection tour made because the CEB Technical Commission was aware of the fi eld conditions from the opening celebration in 2005. Some CEB offi cials travelled via Warsaw (POL). It appeared that it would be better to use the train from Warsaw to Brest as the border crossing by car is time-consuming. It‘s possible also to use Minsk as airport of entry directly but the distance to Brest is 400 km. Draci Brno (CZE) promoted to the European Cup 2007.

EUROPEAN CUP QUALIFIER - Organizer: ROYAL GREYS, ANTWERP, BEL Date: Wednesday 14th till Sunday 18th June. Competition suffered from rainy weather circumstances but fi nally all games were played. René Laforce carried out the inspection tour on the fi elds and Organisation on behalf of the T.C. The team from France, Rouen Huskies was the winner of this qualifi er and is promoted to the European Cup A in 2007.

CUPWINNERS CUP QUALIFIER - Organizer: BLAGOEVDGRAD, BUL Date: Tuesday 13th till Sunday 18th June A well-organized tournament. There were only 6 umpires for three games a day. The fi eld umpires worked each day 2 games to maintain a three-man system. The team of Slovakia - Apollo Bratislava won this competition and is promoted to the A-pool in 2007.

CUPWINNERS CUP QUALIFIER - Organizer: LUBLJANA, SLOVENIA Date: Monday 12th till Saturday 17th June Everything went well in this competition. Organizers did a good job. The team of Regensburg Legionäre brought 4 foreign players and tried to make a registration of a European Nationality. According to the rules the Technical Commission refused this. Winner of the qualifi er is Regensburg Legionäre (GER).

CEB CUP QUALIFIER - Organizer: BC. BEOGRAD, SERBIA Date: Tuesday 13th till Sunday 18th June. After accepting Belgrade as organizer it appeared that there were 9 (nine) subscriptions. As the organizer is a developing Federation, there should be a maximum of only 8 (eight) or even better a maximum of 6(six) participants in the future. More problems arose by the fact that the only available second fi eld was in Zrenanin about 75 km from Belgrade. 4 (four) participants (SUI, BLR, LTU, BUL) didn‘t supply an International Umpire. The Serbian Federation supplied 2 (two) more locals and CEB nominated a neutral umpire from Italy to have the minimum required number of umpires available. Roland Hoffmann made a fi eld inspection during the month of May. Good co-operation between CEB and Organizers made it that all went well. Promoted to the CEB Cup A 2007 is the winner BC Beograd (SER) and the runner-up Dinamo Bucharest (ROM).

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP SENIORS QUALIFIERS

Organizer GROUP 1 - RUSSIAN FEDERATION - MOSCOW , RUSSIA Date: Tuesday 25th July till Saturday 29th July The Russian Federation was very active to organize this competition in the best possible way. During the inspection tour of the fi elds and the organisation, carried out at the end of May by Jan Esselman, it appeared that the main fi eld of Planernaya was just started to be built. Only 7 weeks before the start of the competition it was a great concern if the fi eld would be ready to play on the 25th

133 Yearbook 2006

of July. Modest housing facilities are available at the sport centre Planernaya. Some teams had to be lodged in Balashikha. The 2nd fi eld in Balashikha on a distance of about 40-km was on a former soccer fi eld and with a short distance in the right fi eld (72m). All requested facilities were available but not in good condition. Transport in Moscow and surroundings are very diffi cult due to traffi c circumstances and on short distances can exist great delays. In spite of this it was agreed to lodge all offi cials at the Planernaya sports centre for organizing reasons. Surprisingly the fi eld Planernaya was ready at the start of the competition and all games were played according to the schedule. The Technical Commission together with the Umpire Commission started as a test to use a 4-man umpire system and nominated an Umpire Commissioner. All went according the plan but everything was infl uenced by the special circumstances in Moscow on transport and availability of facilities. Russia qualifi ed for the European Championship 2007.

Organizer GROUP 2 - BELGIAN FEDERATION - ANTWERP, BELGIUM Date: Tuesday 1st till Saturday 5th of August The Belgium Federation gave the organisation of this qualifi er competition to two clubs Antwerp Eagles and Hoboken Pioneers. Rene Laforce on behalf of the T.C inspected both fi elds and Organisation. Organizers did a good job and took care of the small problems right away. Rain caused a lot of concern and delays but fi nally all games were played. Also in this competition the 4-man system was applied. It was a great success and the team of 12 umpires and the Umpire Commissioner Edwin van den Berk were working close together and very enthusiastic. Croatia qualifi ed for the European Championship 2007.

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS JUNIORS 21 & UNDER - FRIULI REGION, ITALY Date: Sunday 9th till Sunday 16th July - Organizer F.I.B.S. - Italian Federation. This competition held for the fi rst time in CEB history. Delay in organisation arose because the Italian Federation changed the original site of Macerata and it took a while to nominate the Friuli region. After this decision the contact with local Organizers in Udine went smoothly. The Organisation did a very good job. Greece withdrew shortly before the start of the competition. This competition is played with Junior and Senior rules, DH, Wooden bats and Junior ages which will be changed. Russia was the winner of this fi rst 21&U competition with participation of 11 teams.

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS JUNIORS QUALIFIER - BEVEREN, BELGIUM Date: 18th till 23rd July The Belgium Federation took the organisation as replacement for Sweden. Rene Laforce took care of the inspection of the fi eld and Organisation on behalf of the T.C. Well-organized competition. Played under tropical weather circumstances. Belgium promoted to the European Championship Juniors 2007.

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS JUNIORS QUALIFIER – RYBNIK+ZORY, POLAND Date: Sunday 16th July till Friday 21st July The Polish Federation started too late in giving information in all respects about this competition. Discussion on the game-schedule, playing dates and information to the participants were unacceptable delayed. Finally it was a well-organized competition. Played under good weather circumstances. There was a problem on the transport issue but within one day the Polish Organisation arranged everything according to the rules. Poland promoted to the European Championship Juniors 2007.

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS CADETS - GIJON, SPAIN Date: 4th till 9th July Good co-operation between Spanish Federation, Local Organisation and CEB. Game schedule could be approved by T.C. very early. All further contacts were smooth. Xavier Mateu made a trip to Gijon and inspected the fi elds and organisation during the fi rst weekend of April. During the competition some games had to be re-scheduled due to rain. Three Umpires became ill during the competition. Qualifi ed for the IBAF Cadet AA World Championship 2007 in Venezuela are Champion Netherlands, runner-up France and winner of bronze Czech Republic. Relegated to the qualifi er 2007 are Poland and Slovakia.

134 Confederation of European Baseball

The number of innings (9) caused too long games (3,5 and sometimes 4 hours) and asked too much from the 14/15 years old boys.

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS CADETS QUALIFIER - UTENA, LITHUANIA Date: Monday 24th till Sunday 30th July Good communication with active Organizers. Game schedule and playing dates were approved easily. Unfortunately the team of Turkey withdrew shortly before the start of the tournament. The teams of Germany and Belarus are promoted to the European Championship Cadets 2007.

EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS JUVENILES - HLUBOKA, CZECHIA Date: Sunday 16th till Saturday 22nd July Very well organized competition under good weather circumstances. Czech Federation was very active to set the dates and get approval of the game schedule. Ukraine withdrew too late. Petr Ditrich on behalf of the T.C inspected Fields and Organisation. During the competition the Technical Commission applied the rules and decided that two games were lost because the teams involved didn‘t obey the special pitcher ruling valid in the Juveniles competitions. The Czech Juveniles team won the European Championship 2006.

EUROPEAN BASEBALL SERIES - Organizers ITALIAN & DUTCH FEDERATION Date: Friday 7th till Wednesday 12th July. Friendly games between the two best European teams. Final result Netherlands 3, Italy 2.
