IFF – Office Report

Appendix 7 Champions Cup Steering Group meeting, CFbU offices, Prague, Czech Republic 13.06.2013

Participants: Filip Suman CFbU/IFF Milan Rantakari SSBL Ari Vehniäinen SSBL Magnus Nilsson SIBF Daniel Bollinger SUHV John Liljelund IFF

Report on 1) Opening present issues Mr. Suman welcomed everyone to the meeting and made the re-cap from previous meeting

2) Evaluation of the CC promotion in relation to the National Finals Sweden: - Included an ad in the match program and had a ticket for the teams in the medal ceremony. The Swedish sponsor Svenska Spel has a check for the winner. - Small disappointment with number of Falun supporters for the SSL Finals. Rönnby/Västerås is an even smaller club, so they will probably not have a lot of fans in Tampere. Switzerland: - Used the tickets to Tampere in the medal ceremonies. No other advertising done. The SUHV is financially supporting the travel to Finland. Not very many fans probably coming. Czech Republic: - The Super Final partner didn’t want to have the ticket in the arena, so they promoted in the arena TV and broadcast signal. Vitkovice might have some supporters going to Finland. The CFbU is supporting the clubs financially Finland: - Promotion started in the end of the regular season, in almost every game. No promotion during the finals.

Evaluation for the future: - In the future we need to use the match programs, video jingle for the jumbotron and event promotions in the arena. - The use of the ticket was problematic since it created a conflict of interest with the local sponsors. Use the ticket as a way of promoting the Final and what the teams are fighting for at the start of the game. - The fun trips needs to be ready prepared when the finals are played.

3) CC Tampere 2013 status report

Registration status: - All teams have registered, despite that the Swedish teams registered late due to organizational reasons.

2 IFF – Office Report

Upcoming 6) Next steps meetings and Continuation of CC in 2015 – 2018: - Finland finds the Sports aspect of the tournament is working, but financially it is issues (cont.) not yet working well enough. The evaluation must be made after the event in Tampere. - Sweden is very skeptical to continue with the same format for the period 2015 – 2018, due to financial and organizational reasons. There is a lot of cost to be responsible of as the organizer. Sweden wants to have fewer matches during the tournament. The whole organization structure has to be looked over. - Switzerland also feels quite skeptical to continue with the present system. It is not sure if the Floorball community wants to have the Champions Cup. From the club side there is a feeling that IFF should invest more into the event, since it is a financial risk. The SUHV will have to evaluate the situation after Zürich. - Czech Republic feels that after only the second edition that the interest for the International Club competition is in Czech Republic already quite high. The CFbU has really tried to work with the tournament and present it as an attractive floorball event. There is a clear interest for the Champions Cup and the CFbU believes that they could make a financial zero in 2015. CFbU believes in the present playing format.

Key factors to be discussed - Discuss with all stakeholders what the best system is. The key factors are: o Sound financial result o Form of organization (external company?) o More spectators, bigger arenas o The sport format is an interesting product (Club & Association) o Is the Floorball Community interested to watch this tournament o We need success and then we can cash in on the product o Balance between Floorball Club Show Case and the Cost for it o Difference of National Strategy and International Strategy o Difference of Investment vs. Development Costs - Next steps: o Check with the National Associations if they are interested to continue with the Top Club Competition. Issue to be discussed during the IFF – EFT President meeting in August 17th in Prague. . Based on this the discussions will have to continue

Cost-Benefit Analysis: + Mlada Boleslav: Cooperation with City, Cooperation with the club, New National Sponsor for Association + Tampere: Cooperation with City, Test Event for WFC, Cooperation with Club + General: Increased visibility - Umeå: City support and financial deficit

Practical matters: - Pre-registration of the Finalists when they are qualified to the Champions Cup, already before the finals. - In order to get the financial benefits the teams have to register in time. - Junior team tournaments for the participating teams juniors. - Inform all clubs on how the Champions Cup is financed and the financial model

The Manufacturers Village during the Champions Cup 2013 in Tampere

Five manufacturers have registered to the Manufacturers Village: Exel, Lexx, Realstick, Swerink and Unihoc.

It took some efforts from the office to convince the manufacturers to participate, but in the end participation of five manufacturers can be considered as a relatively good result. Some manufacturers didn’t want to participate, since the experiences from last year were not that positive, but the concept for the year 2013 seems to be more functional than last year.

The LOC has outsourced the planning and building of the village to a marketing company Planex. The manufacturers have been informed to be in touch with Planex in order to start the preparations for the building of the village.

There is 3 m x 3 m booth reserved for all the manufacturers, but some changes has already bben made with good co-operation with the LOC and Planex.

The village plan is ready and will be delivered to the manufacturers during the week 36. It has turned out to be slightly difficult to activate the manufacturers to be in touch with Planex and so far only two(Exel and Swerink) have been in contact with the company.

The deadline for the manufacturers to be in touch with Planex is set to be Friday the 6 th of September.

The target with the Champions Cup was to increase the visibility, enhance the number of spectators and raise the sporting value.

A short introduction of the participants was made and the biggest national challenges were elaborated.

The challenges for the IFF are to fulfill the strategic vision for 2020 to have 70-80 members; stronger universal representation and entering into a number of multi-sport games, in order to use the golden momentum we have today on the International Sports Community.

The objective for this meeting is to be a little bit more hands on, in order to move forward in the process.

The Floorball community will need to perform on a high level when it comes to the visibility of the Major events, in TV, social media and actual number of spectators in the events, since these are the measurements the IOC is looking at.

The group discusses how the EFT’s could the national federations support the IOC Process, to support the developing countries. In Floorball we have a very good situation, where all countries are trying to work together. It was concluded that we need to have the same view of the strategical direction.

Report on 3. Future of IFF Club Competitions – Champions Cup and EuroFloorball Cup future present issues Mr. Suman stressed that the process concerning the Club competition has been on the (Cont.) table since 2009, since the teams have felt that the competition has not been interesting enough and that it is too expensive. The Community agreed that we need to keep the club competitions and built the new system with the Champions Cup and EuroFloorball Cup.

The top countries and IFF signed a contract for the Champions Cup for 2011-2014. The Champions Cup Steering Group has now started to looking into the future of the event, where Sweden expressed that they are skeptical to continue with present format. There is need to have a top level view on the importance of the Club Competitions for the International Development. The objective has been to enhance the sporting level, increased the number of spectators and the enhance the finance.

Mr. Kaltala felt that we need to learn what has been wrong. The timing for Finland is not very good from a financial point of view to organise the CC. Looking from a product building and marketing perspective we need to have a long term solution. We need to continue the process.

Mr. Engholm expressed that it is not that important for the Swedish clubs to take part in the Champions Cup and the SIBF have had problems to get the clubs to participate in the event. There is need for the Champions Cup, but we need to overcome the problems. A possibility to run it in the competition in the same country every year.

Mr. Bareiss also feels that we need the Champions Cup, but we need to overlook the date of the competition and find a solution for the finances.

In order to enhance the running the competition we need to have: - a more professional organization to run the preparations - to present the competition better in the national channels and not cannibalize the CC product, while playing the National League - to raise the value of the competition - to create an own product/profile of the Champions Cup - to build a common marketing base with all stakeholders

4. Update on IOC Short list process Mr. Liljelund gave a short presentation of how the IOC Sport department will deal with the Short list process for the 2024 Olympic Games. The situation is now a little on-hold, before the new IOC President has been elected in the IOC session in September. The assumption is that IFF are to hand in the application to the IOC for inclusion on the Short list in March-April 2015.

The IOC have built a set of around 60 criteria’s, out of which the universality, participation of countries, strategic documents and participation in multi-sport events are the most crucial ones.

Mr. Engholm told that the SIBF is trying to cooperate with the clubs to answer the requests coming from abroad.

Report from RACC-organisation (CB-meeting in Helsinki 2013-08-31/09-01)

1. Rule Group

The Finnish Floorball Federation has requested t continue the test regarding allowing foot pass (decision by CB needed).

So far very few questions about the new rule book valid from 01.07.2014 have been asked to office/RACC-members.

Seminar/Information about the new rule book (including questions about other things in the book to) will be set by the office at appropriate time during WFC in Czech Republic (not to collide with other activities)

2. RACC-organisation

The jury schedule for tournaments ahead is not 100% set for the upcoming year. Still some small adjustments will be done.

WFCQ Tournaments in New Zealand (and Canada) should (from my point of view) be handled outside normal jury work this time due to the fact that the tasks most likely will look different to a normal tournament.

3. Other topics

A. The plan from my side is to involve the RACC-organization in the tasks regarding Competition that I got from the last meeting in Hamburg.

B. Reports from Stefan Kratz in other parts of the meeting (regarding tournaments,

13.5.2013 Letter of application

Application for a use of foot pass rule in finnish top series

Finnish Floorball Fededation applys a permission to use foot pass rule from IFF rules 2014 to be used in finnish mens and womens leagues (Salibandyliiga, naisten Salibandyliiga) and mens 1. division (Divari) already on season 2013-14.

Finland tested foot pass rule on season 2012-13 in womens league and mens 1. division. Now when IFF brings this rule to official rulebook, it would be only confusing to switch the usage of it every second season after a successful test season.

Feedback that Finnish Floorball Fededation collected from teams during test season was almost 100% positive.

IFF - Office Report

Appendix 16 Unihoc Floorball Promotion Tour South-East Asia, Singapore & Indonesia, June 2013

Participants: Jan Ögren-Fjellestad, IFF Development Coordinator

Report on 1. Objective and Purpose present issues IFF was invited by Stefan Dahlgren to comply with Pixbo Wallenstam on a promotional tour in Singapore and Indonesia's where the first open tournament in Bali was played. The purpose was to observe and to assist in international development issues and get a clearer picture of the situation in Asia.

2. The Clinics A group of 6 players and a leader went to Asia May the 16 th . Toghether with Stefan Dahlgren, a group visited India New Delhi where they staged Clinics particularly in schools where they trained both students and teachers. Meanwhile another group visited Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia where there held Clinics in schools but also a coaching course with about 30 students. For the development of the regions they visited this was greatly appreciated. After 4-5 days, they returned to Singapore and continued Clinics during the next two weeks. The number of Clinics held throughout the trip is estimated at around 30. The participants were very happy and got some important knowledge about technical skills, like passing, shooting and exercises.

3. Friendly Games On monday, June 3 a big squad of 35 people arrived. They were coaches and players for Pixbos women and men's teams. Players trained themselves but also with players from Singapore in the hall Valhalla. There was also a smaller event in Valhalla, where they played a match with mixed teams from Pixbo and Singapore. Invited was also the Singapore Floorball Federation represented by Mr Sani Mohd Salim and Hector Gomez. They talked about education with leaders and coaches from Pixbo Wallenstam and IFF. On June the 7 th two friendly games was played. First out was the game between Pixbos first women's team and the Singapore national women's team. And then one game between Pixbos mens team and the Singapore national mens team. The Singapore teams offered a pretty good resistance especially in the men's game. It was quite a crowd around 500 in the audience. To note was that there were two very good efforts by the female referees.

4. All Star games On the 8 th of June, the two Allstar games were played which was a very popular event. This time with a little more audience about 700. The players held shows in the breaks and after the game Pixbo gave their game jerseys to the Asian players. A useful opportunity for the domestic players to play alongside some of the world's best players. We again had two very good input from the judges.

5. Bali Floorball Open Between the 13-16 of June was the first international tournament in Bali. It was a smaller line-up on the women's side with only three teams where they played a single series with Pixbo and two teams from Indonesia. The mens tournament was also played a single series, here were two teams from Indonesia and two teams from Australia who met Pixbo. Between the games different Clinics wereconducted by players and officials from Pixbo, and after the tournament they played two Allstar games. The tournament was very much appreciated by the teams that participated. It was also a very good experience for Indonesia. General Secretary Mr. Raymond Nangoy was very pleased with the implementation and the positive feeling of the participants from the teams. Judges from Singapore conducted its task very well.

1 IFF - Office Report

Report on 6. Regional Development present issues Raymond Nangoy want to continue the development of Indonesia and is also interested (Cont.) in conducting a Development Seminar in Jakarta in 2014. No date is decided but renewed contact should be taken in the fall.

Floorball in Indonesia is in its start-up, and is at a fairly low level, particularly in terms of games and knowledge. They lack to some extent, good equipment, and especially goalie equipment. They have a good ambition but have a pretty poor infrastructure and shortage of venues.

They need quite a lot of help to get started. They are unfamiliar with arranging tournaments / competitions and have received much help from Stefan and Filip Dahlgren.

As for Singapore, it feels like a stable organization, and good structure. However, they lack a general training for their training courses. The problem is that most people stop playing Floorball after school making their senior teams and the league loses players. They would probably spend more on their U19 team, where they can have more success and where the basis of the number of players is larger. They have very good judges, especially on the female side.

Malaysia has a pretty good basic structure based on some good players and coaches, but they lack an organization that can meet with the requirements for development. They have great potential to develop.

Upcoming - Implement a Development Seminar during 2014, with all three components, referee, meetings and coaching and organization in Indonesia. issues - Do follow ups on affiliations to respective NOCs in order to meet requirements for participation in the SEA Games.

Issues that need - to be discussed or decided upon or taken action upon

New ideas, etc…

IFF Information Function report May 2013

IFF Website & CC website The process of changing the IFF website layout is ongoing. Aim to have the website up and running during autumn 2013. The focus is on images, videos and social media as well as the ongoing events. The result service slider launched for the Champions Cup page can be used also during other IFF events as well as international weekends (all floorball events that use the IFF on-line match records). Draft proposal of the new layout design attached.

Small changes have been made to the Champions Cup match result sliders, clearly showing which team wins/loses and link from the result (or “-“ before start of the match) to the on-line match record.

In the process of changing the website an evaluation and comparison has been made between different IFs (May – June 2013), evaluating their websites and social media channels to find good models (attachment given during the meeting).

Social Media More focus has been put on images and videos. Not sure about the added value with the different Event facebook pages especially if there are not much efforts put on promoting the event and adding “own” content etc.

IFF Events Mobile App The CC mobile app is on its way with the same content as the WFC 2012 app. Asics has been contacted to have an app sponsor for CC.

Appendix 18 IFF & Floorball Material Producers Development Board meeting at IFF Offices, in Helsinki, Helsinki 14.05.2013

Participants: Exel (E-SG) Jaakko Aro FatPipe (Powerstick) Sami Turtiainen Oxdog (Evosport) Marko Sompa Unihoc (Renew ) Joakim Strömberg and Johan Österman Salming (X3M) Per Eriksson Realstick(SB-yhtiöt) Petri Piironen

SP Lars-Åke Henriksson IFF John Liljelund and Veli Halonen

Report on 1. Welcome present issues Mr. Liljelund opened the meeting at 12.00 at the IFF Offices in Helsinki, Finland and welcomed the participants to the meeting

Mr. Liljelund presented the agenda for the meeting. The IFF DB is celebrating its 10 th anniversary and Mr. Liljelund described the functions and purpose of the IFF DB. Even though the IFF DB is not a decision taking organ the IFF CB has usually in all cases approved the proposals made by the IFF DB

Mr. Liljelund shortly presented the actions taken by the IFF in order to reach the demand required to be in the IOC short list 2015. The IFF office has carried out an Associations Audit from the autumn 2012 until spring 2013. That’s one of the methods to find out where the IFF members associations stand at the time and help them to develop in the future

2. General update Material Approval system financial outcome 2012 Mr. Liljelund reported the financial outcome of 2012 and the total revenue was CHF 291.613 and the costs for running the system were CHF 246.581, giving a surplus of 45.031. Out of this 80 per cent, which equals a sum of CHFD 36.024 for the use of the Development Board.

Number of sold sticks, balls and other materials

SP has on the request of IFF moved over to follow the marking of Floorball materials to a calendar year system, starting from 2011. The total number of sold certified material for 2012 is

- Balls 2.057.889 pcs - Sticks 720.659 pcs - Goals 2.470pcs - Rinks 362pcs - Face masks 1.408 pcs

3. Proposal of changes of the material regulations(Appendix 1) Mr. Henriksson presented and reported the results of the effects of the composite blade for the playing surfaces, both Gerflor and wood. Based on the tests it was obvious that the composite blades leave clearly visible tracks to both surfaces and even can damage the surfaces. In addition some other tests had been done, but the blades had been so hard, that they had broken very early in the process.

1 IFF – Office Report

Report on Regulation 1.3.2.4 present issues The manufacturers will check the possibility to mark the approval tag or to emboss the (cont.) approval to the left side of the grill of the mask. The grill bars are so thin that it needs to be checked with the production of each company how the marking can be made. The manufacturers will inform the DB no later than 20 th of June about their solutions. The proposal stays otherwise as proposed. Regulation 1.3.2.6 The length of the stick is visible in a ready product separately and it will not be embossed or printed to the shaft separately. Proposal to be removed. Regulation 2.1.1 It was decided that there can be composite material maximum 1/3 of the content in the blade, but it shall not cover the entire upper part of the blade horizontally in order the blade to be able to twist when stepped upon. Otherwise the composite can be in the blade where the manufacturers choose. There has to be a minimum of 4 mm cover for the composite parts to any part that could be in connection with the floor after wear out of the blade material. Otherwise the proposal was approved. Regulation 5.2.9.3 The twist angle of the blade was defined to be 30 degrees Fat Pipe has sent in a proposal in February 2013, which was not included to the agenda due to the reason that SP was not in favour for the proposal based on the safety reasons. The regulation at the present time is that the bending of the shaft is measured from two directions and the shaft to bend at least 60 mm. Fat Pipes’ proposal was just to measure the bending from one direction. This would make it easier for the manufacturers to design different kind of shapes for the shaft. SP and Fat Pipe will make a proposal to the IFF DB about how this would be handled and the proposal shall be sent by the 24 th of May 2013.

All the other issues according the proposal (Appendix 1) were approved.

4. Case Onepeice The IFF Development Board has in its earlier meeting decided to allow the sell and use of Oxdog Onepiece until the 31 st of May 2013. Based on the approved proposal for the material Regulation 2014, there will not be room for products like the Oxdog Onepiece in future.

Oxdog has informed that they have closed the Onepiece project, when the IFF didn’t grant a dispense before the IFF Development Board meeting. Oxdog has also informed that there are a limited number of sticks sold to players and a marginal amount in the shops, mainly in Finland. Based on earlier cases, in similar situations, IFF Development Board is of the opinion that a dispense for the players who have bought the stick shall be granted for one season only (2013-2014) and that scarce number of products in the stores does not need any additional actions.

5. Projects for 2011 and 2012 The IFF Development Board has in 2012 approved to support three projects, namely the German project, which is now finished, to extend the Canadian project (Appendix 3) and the Spanish project (Appendix 4). Canada and Spain have reported their projects and Germany will hand in the final report after the re-organisation of Floorball Germany has been completed.

The IFF Development Board decided to continue the support for one additional year in Canada in order to strengthen the positive development, which has been achieved through working with Hockey Canada, with the sum of CHF12.500. Based on the report the project has been well perceived and has been awarded the WU19 WFC Final Round 2016 in Belleville, Ontario.

The IFF DB also decided to continue the support the Spanish Federation in order to strengthen the development in Western Europe with the sum of CHF 12.500. Spanish Federation has built a development plan in order to grow the sport in a second country of the big 5 in Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and UK).

A list of non- acceptable words or expressions is to be introduced. The listing is not comprehensive, so in case of any doubt contact the IFF for a statement.

International Floorball, IFF, WFC, World Championship, Euro Championship, Asia Championship, World Floorball, Tournament, Global, Recommended, Game, etc.

1.9 Rules for current license holders before new certificates can be issued

Current license holders must take responsibility for outstanding debt related to both testing / certification and the IFF-marking system, before the new or revised certificates can be issued.

2.1.1 Stick Design

In order to …… …….. in point 1.3.2.6 and appendix 1 point 5.2.4. The stick blade main construction and outermost surface is to be produced in thermoplastic materials without fillers or reinforcements such as e.g. milled fibres. This is to ensure that the blade does not damage the playing surface. It is permissibly to use colour pigments. Anti-oxidants, UV-absorbing additives etc. can also be used to prevent polymer degradation. The blade construction can consist of other plastic materials/laminates than the used thermoplastic materials. The other plastic materials/laminates are to be centred in the middle of the blade, and may not be placed closer to the blade edge (playing surface) than the thickness of the lower blade frame or a minimum distance of 4 mm. This is to ensure that the playing surface is not damaged when the blade material is worn out. Make sure that the other plastic materials/laminates will be well anchored (moulded) into the surrounding blade structure and that all the edges are protected. The other plastic materials/laminates are limited to 1/3* of the blades total area*, but shall not cover the entire upper part of the blade horizontally. The ability to twist and hook the blade must be maintained. Otherwise it can be placed where the manufacturer choose. (see appendix 26). The largest single open area of the other plastic materials/laminates is limited to 5 cm2. The other plastic materials/laminates may have a larger total area but then need to be covered with one or more blade grooves; so no single open areas are exceeded. The other plastic materials/laminates should always be protected by a surrounding thermoplastic material and may never be the outermost material, which first comes in contact with the ball, another stick, etc. either on the forehand or backhand side. The limitations will protect the playing surface, secure the blade to be able to twist when stepped upon and also allow hooking of the blade. The blade is to have embossed prints. The marking is to be of such proportions and design that the information is clearly visible and is not removed under play. The print size may not be less than 5 mm in height. The embossed print is to be uncoloured.

* The manufacturer has to provide the test house the blade’s total area and the area of other plastic materials/laminates used in the blade. Preferably by a calculation performed via the CAD-program and shown in the drawing.

2.1.3 Stick Dimensions * It is still legal to use a 10 mm wide grip line marking.

2.1.4.1 Shaft Rigidity Method A (sticks 850mm or longer)

The shaft should deflect by at least 23 mm under a load of 300 N measured as mean value of three deflections in each direction (horizontal and vertical). No individual value may be less than 17 mm for the most rigid direction of the shaft. The shaft should and tolerate a deflection of at least 60 mm in the most flexible direction without cracking or fracturing. The shaft's resulting deformation following deflection should not exceed 6 mm.

2.1.4.2 Shaft Rigidity Method B (sticks 650mm to 849mm)

The shaft should deflect by at least 10 mm under a load of 300 N measured as mean value of three deflections in each direction (horizontal and vertical). No individual value may be less than 8 mm for the most rigid direction of the shaft. The shaft should and tolerate a deflection of at least 30 mm in the most flexible direction without cracking or fracturing. The shaft's resulting deformation following deflection should not exceed 3,5 mm.

2.1.5 Shaft and Blade Impact Strength

Shaft: Visible cracks or fractures should not occur. Blade: Visible cracks, fractures, loose parts or parts that fall away from the blade should not occur.

2.1.7 Blade Discoloration onto Playing Surface

Discoloration on the playing surface should be no more than 10%. The discoloration shall be easily removed with the help of paper, water and simple cleaning agent. The lacquered surface may have a slightly matt finish.

2.1.8 Blade Torsion Strength

Visible cracks, fractures, loose parts or parts that fall away from the blade should not occur.

2.5.3 Face Mask Net Marking

In order to avoid the mask net is changed to a non-approved net, the net is to have a negative IFF embossed marking. The IFF-marking is to be stamped onto a metal plate and welded/ hard-soldered to the net, placed on the left side of the mask. The marking is to be of such proportions and design that the information is clearly visible and is not removed under play.

Methods for Verification of Equipment Criteria for Floorball

Method Description Prepared by Lars-Åke Henriksson Issued 2013-05-03 SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden Department of Chemistry and Materials Technology Borås 2013

5.2.4.3 Implementation

Stick dimensions are measured according to appendices 15 and 16. The blade’s concavity depth is measured by placing the measuring device perpendicular to the lower edge radius. This is repeated along the entire length of the blade and the largest concave depth is recorded.

5.2.6 Impact Strength

5.2.6.1 Equipment

Drop hammer with a weight of 350± 10 g. The head is to be of hardened steel and have a shape of a prism with triangular profile and with a longitudinal axis oriented horizontally - perpendicular to direction of hammer movement. The bottom edge of the prism is to be a shape of semi-circle with a radius of 7 mm. A stand with a drop height of 1000 ± 5 mm, from where the hammer is to be able to fall freely. A mechanism for repeat releasing of the drop hammer. Test holder of aluminium or steel and designed as a V-block with a length of 150 mm and inner 90° angle, with sufficient depth to enable the shaft to lie in the dip and not on the edges. A flat surface of thick aluminium or steel is to be used for the blade test.

5.2.6.2 Samples

Three shafts and three blades. Those shafts tested as per point 5.2.5, where fracturing or any type of deformation did not occur can, in theory, be used for impact testing.

5.2.6.3 Implementation

The testing is carried out in two places on the shaft, 700 mm from the end of the shaft, and 40 mm from the blade attachment. The shaft is placed in the holder with the point of the stick blade vertical. The drop hammer is released from a height of 1000± 5 mm towards a point both 700 mm from the end of the shaft and 40 mm along the shaft taken from the blade attachment. The test is carried out on 3 shafts (appendix 18). The blade is placed vertical by using support blocks and when placed flat on the surface. The drop hammer is released from a height of 1000± 5 mm towards a point in the middle of the blade's top edge and when in the centre of the blade. The test is carried out on 3 blades.

5.2.6.4 Results

The falling hammer could make a little spherically shaped imprint on the tested surface of the shaft and blade. This kind of imprint is permissible, if neither visible cracks nor fractures occur. Any cracks, fractures, loose parts or parts that fall away from the blade are to be reported.

5.2.8 Blade Discoloration onto Playing Surface

5.2.8.1 Equipment

Pendulum apparatus, described in appendix 19. The mass of the bar, weight and test bit are to be such that the energy the stopping disc is met with is 36± 1 Nm. The spring constant C is 3.5·104 N/m. Lacquered sport parquet and Gerflor Taraflex to be at least as high and at least as wide as the stopping disc. The sport parquet construction: At the bottom 6 mm plywood, intermediate layer 12 mm ribbed pinewood sheeting, wearing course 3.6 mm beech and five layers UV-hardened lacquer, Proteco (E.g. Tarkett Sport). Gerflor Taraflex construction: PVC sheets reinforced with fibreglass grid.

5.2.8.2 Samples

Three stick blades. The end of the blade truncated to length of 100 mm.

5.2.8.3 Implementation

The test bit is permanently mounted on the pendulum so that the end blade, when lowering the pendulum, moves towards the flooring sample 1/3rd from the top edge of the disc. The pendulum is released from an upright position. The flooring sample is inspected with regard to discoloration – the European scale for colour coding is used as a colour reference. Three tests on each flooring samples are carried out; replacing the flooring sample or movement in the horizontal axis following each impact. Clean the flooring samples with water, a simple cleaner and paper before examination.

5.2.8.4 Results

Occurrence of discoloration onto the flooring samples are reported.

5.2.9 Blade Torsion Test

5.2.9.1 Equipment

An equipment to firmly secure the blade in the vertical position. An adjustable device that can be fitted over and cover the blade nose. A lever arm attached to the device as an aid when blade nose is to be twisted (as a lever, a torque wrench can be used), and a protractor.

5.2.9.2 Samples

Three stick blades.

5.2.9.3 Implementation

Mount the blade vertically, as close as possible to the shaft attachment point. Mount the adjustable device over the blade nose and adjust so that there is no clearance. Twist the blade to an angle of 30°, check with the protractor. The test is carried out on 3 blades.

5.2.9.4 Results

Occurrence of visible cracks, fractures, loose parts or parts that fall away from the blade is reported.
