It is a non-profit, charitable organization that is the Canadian member to the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF). BC Wheelchair Basketball Society The BC Wheelchair Basketball Society (BCWBS) is a non-profit organization formed in 1983 and registered with Revenue Canada as a charity since 1985. BCWBS provides support to wheelchair basketball programs throughout British Columbia. International Wheelchair Basketball Federation IWBF is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide opportunities for persons with a disability to play the game of wheelchair basketball. About the Americas Cup: The Americas Cup is the America Zone Qualifying tournament for entry into the World Championships set to take place July 2010 in Birmingham, England. The top three teams from the event will earn a spot amongst the world’s best representing North and South America. Tournament Structure: The Americas Cup in Richmond, BC will host the men’s division only. Teams represented will be Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Jamaica, Mexico, United States and Venezuela. The teams will be broken up into two pools -as per IWBF standards – compete in three round robin games and move on to the quarter-final round, semi-finals and eventual medal games. There will be additional placement games for 5th, 6th, 7th & 8th place. POOL A POOL B Event Overview: The 2009 Americas Cup is a qualifying tournament that features nearly 100 of the top male wheelchair basketball players in the Western Hemisphere representing 8 teams from North and South America. Participants are competing on this elite international stage not only for pride of country, but the top three teams are guaranteed the opportunity to attend the next major international tournament – the 2010 World Wheelchair Basketball Championships in Birmingham England. For the hosting Canadian Men’s Wheelchair Basketball Team this tournament is the marquee event of the summer; it highlights a devoted training schedule that propels the team ever closer to their goal of defending their title as current World Champions. The Americas Cup also presents Team Canada with the opportunity to square off against a perennial foe in the United States, whose talented core of players usually find a way of turning the intensity way up when facing their Northern neighbour. This will be the first time the two powerhouse teams meet since Canada defeated the USA in a double overtime thriller to advance to the championship games at the last Paralympic Games in Beijing. The newly constructed Richmond Olympic Oval is a state-of-the art facility that provides the ideal venue to showcase the tremendous skill and technique of the sport, while the beautiful city of Richmond, British Colombia and nearby Vancouver provide the picturesque backdrop. Some of the top Paralympians in the world are on hand to thrill spectators with the ferocity, speed and control that has earned wheelchair basketball a reputation as a premiere high performance sport. 2009 AMERICAS CUP Wheelchair Basketball Schedule POOL A - CAN MEX COL ARG ------------------- POOL B - USA BRA JAM VEN Day 1 24-Aug-09 Start: 13:00 End: 21:00 12:15 - 12:40 OPENING CEREMONIES G#1 POOLA 13:00 -15:00 CAN vs COL G#2 POOL B 15:00 -17:00 JAM vs BRA G#3 POOL A 17:00 - 19:00 MEX vs ARG G#4 POOL B 19:00 - 21:00 VEN vs USA Day 2 25-Aug-09 Start: 13:00 End: 21:00 G#4 POOL B 13:00 -15:00 BRA vs VEN G#5 POOL A 15:00 -17:00 COL vs MEX G#6 POOL B 17:00 - 19:00 USA vs JAM G#7 POOL A 19:00 - 21:00 ARG vs CAN Day 3 26-Aug-09 Start: 09:00 End: 22:00 G#9 POOL B 13:00 -15:00 VEN vs JAM G#10 POOL A 15:00 -17:00 COL vs ARG G#11 POOL A 17:00 - 19:00 CAN vs MEX G#12 POOL B 19:00 - 21:00 USA vs BRA Day 4 27-Aug-09 Start: 09:00 End: 22:00 G#13 13:00 -15:00 Men's Quarterfinals 1 G#14 15:00 -17:00 Men's Quarterfinals 2 G#15 17:00 - 19:00 Men's Quarterfinals 3 G#16 19:00 - 21:00 Men's Quarterfinals 4 Day 5 28-Aug-09 Start: 09:00 End: 22:00 G#17 13:00 -15:00 Consolation side semi-finals 1 G#18 15:00 -17:00 Consolation side semi-finals 2 G#19 17:00 - 19:00 Semifinal 1 G#20 19:00 - 21:00 Semifinal 2 Day 6 29-Aug-09 Start: 09:00 End: 17:00 G#21 10:30 -12:30 Place 7/8 Court #2 G#22 11:00 -13:00 Place 5/6 G#23 13:00 - 15:00 BRONZE MEDAL GAME MAIN COURT G#24 15:00 - 17:00 GOLD MEDAL GAME 17:10 - 17:30 CLOSING CEREMONIES CLOSING DINNER TO FOLLOW AT HOTEL Page 1 of 1 2009 AMERICAS CUP - TEAM ROSTERS )*%$5%&$ ()*%$5'(%&$ ()0 #)) 5 ))% )* (#&)#(*& < : 895895A8 &$ %-1 ( & = <4= 8;59;5?> &%) &%(& (%% > 9 9858=5?< (1 $& ? 9 8A5895?9 (%%1 #!%(& @ 94= 8;58:5?: ##% -)*.&% # A 94= 9959?5@: -( / $# %& 98 :4= 895:;5@? &' % #-(& 99 <4= 8>58@5@< (##) *&( # ) 9: < 9:59@5@: ((#* ( & 9; ;4= 8?5:85@8 (-% &#& 9< < 8A5:<5@9 &$1 ( )+% 9= <4= 8;59:5@< *(&% % *&&$ %& & %( / $ %& )) )*%*& & % #%# &%*( -*&( && (&#(*& %( )*%$5%&$ ()*%$5'(%&$ ()0 #)) 5 ))% -('&) . < ;4= 8?59<5>@ &- ##( .&% = ; 8<59A5?: ) &(* > :4= 8=5895@8 *( ( ? :4= 9858A5?: &%)&% &0 @ <4= 8>5:<5?= % $ A <4= 8959?5@8 % * 98 9 895895@9 ))$% 99 94= 8A59>5@; %( (%&% 9: 9 8<59@5@; %()&% * 9; <4= 8@5::5?A &-# % "# 9< ;4= 9:58<5@> % . 9= <4= 995:95?> &%##& ((0 & () $ )) )*%*& ( )+% (( )) )*%*& %($-#% % ) 0) &*(' )* &)) -0 '&(*)0&#& )* 01)(=)+( "/01)(=-/)+( /08 '00 ="00) !81 8) D D AA=@I=GI (-'' )1+ E C<E @A=AE=HF /+6) +' F B @G=@B=GA 3))") !( ))"0 G A @A=BA=GA ) /( /8) H D @H=BI=GI (-'' +1+ I D @A=AE=HF 3))") !( '-!)0+ A@ B @H=BI=H@ ")'"/ 5"'' AA C @B=BC=EH '+2 "/1 AB A<E @G=AA=HA +7 !'+) AC C @A=@I=IA " 5+) AD B @B=@I=HA "''"(0+) )/ AE C @G=@E=IC ("&" '/"1+ +! -3 %8 !80"+=+1+/ !")

  • Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century
    Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century by Kelsey Blair M.A., University of British Columbia, 2014 M.A., University of Toronto, 2010 B.A., University of British Columbia, 2007 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Kelsey Blair 2019 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2019 Copyright in this work rests with the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Approval Name: Kelsey Blair Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century Examining Committee: Chair: Clint Burnham Professor Peter Dickinson Senior Supervisor Professor Dara Culhane Supervisor Professor Coleman Nye Supervisor Assistant Professor Ann Travers Internal Examiner Associate Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Susan Bennett External Examiner Professor Department of English University of Calgary Date Defended/Approved: April 16, 2019 ii Abstract Richard Schechner, one of the founders of performance studies, urges scholars to expand their conceptualization of performance to include a broad spectrum of framed and/or displayed human behaviours. While this call to action has strongly influenced the interdisciplinary impulse of performance studies and prompted important cross- disciplinary investigations between performance genres such as theatre, dance, performance art, political performance, ritual, and play, sport has remained under- theorized in the field. In this project, I begin to fill this gap by approaching the practices, activities, and events of twenty-first century sport through the lens of performance studies.

It is a fast-paced team game that attracts competitive athletes with physical disabilities that prevent them from running, jumping, and pivoting. Not all athletes who play wheelchair basketball require the use of a wheelchair for daily life. Open to male and female athletes, wheel- chair basketball requires two teams to play. Each team has twelve players with just five on court during playtime. The objective of each team is to score more points than the opposing team. Points are given for scoring goals by shooting the basketball into the opposing team’s basket. A goal scores from one to three points. Teams actively try to prevent the opposing team from making goals. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Each team is given 24 seconds to complete a goal attempt. If the team with the ball exceeds this time limit, then the ball and the right of play is granted to the opposing team. Goals are scored in the following way: • A free-throw goal = 1 point • A goal from the two-point field goal area = 2 points • A goal from the three-point field goal area = 3 points Wheelchair basketball games have four ten-minute periods with a 15-min- ute interval between the second and third period and one-minute intervals between the first and second, and third and fourth periods.

The proposed facility would be attached to the WFCU Centre and primarily serve turf-oriented uses with some consideration of non-turf uses. HSP was also requested to investigate the addition of an outdoor turf field with a seasonal dome. The primary aim of the facility is to increase local usage with the additional potential to host major events. HSP met with or interviewed sport user groups from the local area, provincial-level organizations and national governing bodies to determine the local opportunity as well as the potential to host tournaments. The available facilities for most sports in Windsor (and most larger facilities across Ontario), as well as the current and likely future demand, were analyzed and profiled as part of the HSP study.

The authors hope that the publication of this list of teams and players will encourage federations of the International Wheelchair Basketball Federation (IWBF) to search their records in order to add the names of missing players and coaches in a subsequent publication. We apologize for the numerous omissions and for the errors in spelling to certain names. This is due to missing documentation or errors in spelling on documents we obtained. During our editing of this work, in March 2009 and following, we were fortunate to receive some names of players that we had previously had no success in obtaining. We extend our gratitude to Dr. Ian Brittain, Paralympic historian, for providing the names of starting-5s for each competing nation in the 1960 Paralympics, as well as some missing scores. It is hoped that readers will help complete the list of teams. Additions or corrections to team lists may be addressed to armandthiboutot@ aol.com.
