From the Chair
By Jan Berteling, President IWBF Europe
The
European
Club
competitions’
qualification
tournaments have taken place
and we are facing the final
rounds again.
This is the
upshot of our club competition
season and we will beyond
doubt have great events in the
various finals. We hope that
these tournaments prove that
European
wheelchair
basketball is on the right track.
However, I am not sure. No doubt,
the Champions’ Cup finals in Rome
will again be great, with the eight
best teams of Europe. I am really
looking forward to that tournament
and I wish all teams the very best.
But I do not see much progress in
many other places. All Greek teams
had to withdraw from the European
Cup tournaments, not because of
lack of interest, but because of the
financial and economic crisis in
Greece. That crisis exists in many
other places. I am afraid that we are
not able to invest enough in our sport
and that only a few countries and
teams are able to continue in their
traditional way. We have to become
more innovative, more challenging in
order to develop and improve our
game. And we have to share ideas
about this. I don’t see enough of this.
It seems to be to quite within IWBF
Europe.
We will also have this summer our
World Championship in Birmingham,
which is extremely important in itself,
but also in determining how many
teams from each zone will go to the
London 2012 Paralympics. You will
realise from the above that I am not
overly optimistic. However, I wish all
European teams the very best.
After that, we have the U22
European Championship in Seveso,
Cantu and Milan, three cities with a
great basketball history. Brianteia 84
has dedicated itself to promote
wheelchair basketball for the youth,
which is absolutely great . Therefore,
I am convinced that we will enjoy a
great event with players that are not
just the future of our sport, because
they are already great.

2nd International
Wheelchair Basketball Camp for Women
2 – 5 September 2010
Malle – Antwerp – Belgium
Again IWBF Europe in conjunction with the
morning we will finish with an evaluation of
the camp and after lunch we say goodbye.
Belgium club “Wapper” have the pleasure to
inform you that they will organise a 2nd
Women Wheelchair Basketball Camp in
Malle, Belgium from 2 – 5 September 2010 !!
European top trainers and coaches will be
invited to run this camp.
This camp will be open for individuals as well
as groups of players. The camp should not be
for the established National teams but we will
allow development teams to join the camp.
With kindest regards,
We will start with training sessions on the
Thursday afternoon. On Friday and Saturday
their will be training and games. On Sunday

Player/Coach clinic in Portugal
By Ines Lopez
In
We also worked on individual defence work and on
team defence.
We were able to have 6 hours theoretical work and
7 hours practical work in 2 full days. Very
exhausting for only one tutor!
There was no more time to introduce more aspects
of the performance plan, but there was a hunger for
a continuation of this clinic from all the participants.
A new clinic will be planned within a year's time in
order to keep the motivation and momentum going
for these coaches and players.
total there were 25 participants (13
coaches, 2 referees and 10 players). We
also used 4 players from the local team for
the practical sessions.
But everyone was very motivated, willing to learn
and share experiences in order to participate in the
development work of each player, team and as a
result the development of wheelchair basketball in
Portugal.
The theme was on introducing a player performance
development plan, with focus on the individual
athlete with regards to the physical, technical,
mental and social preparation.
A lot of the practical work was done on the
individual chair technique, without and with the ball.

I asked in the end for an evaluation of the clinic and
these are some of the remarks:
"I learned to pay more attention to the details in
all aspects of the techniques involved"
"I learned the importance of good chair
techniques. It is a must in order to become a
good wheelchair basketball player"
"It was a shame we had such a short time, I
understand there is much more to learn, I hope
we will have a new clinic shortly so that I can
learn different aspects of the player performance
development plan as well as more aspects of
defence and offence of the game."

Technical
Pre Game Conference
The Magical – P.G.C.
By Ziv Radomsky IWBF Referee
During
my 20 years as a referee I have
faced many rule and mechanics guide
changes. The game has become faster and
that has demanded the players to be
physically stronger. We see more shots to
the basket, and more rebound struggles
under it. That means more work for us, the
referees in and out the court. The
preparation has to start long before the
game itself.
We start facing it first when we get our nomination
to the game, who I am with, what are we going to
wear, what time do we have to leave the hotel,
where are we going to meet, who will pick us up?
Over the years we cooperate with many referees,
each one of them brings to the game his/her:
philosophy of the game, experience, culture and
their character. It’s so nice to see so many different
attitudes to the game and to the P.G.C.
Some are making monolog for 40 minutes, some for
10 minutes; some try the way of dialog, mostly all
talking on the same issue but in different ways. Its
all come to one thing: we want to make a good job
in the game, it’s a say we use: good referee is the
one that in the following day of the game no one
remember who was refereeing.
At the moment we come in the locker room each
one deals with theirs own things the crew chief
normally dictates the time for the P.G.C.
A good P.G.C. and the right adoption of it in the
court means good teamwork, probably good
officiating through out all of the game.
Don’t forget that we are a team, a good team helps
each other all the time, and we come in together
and go out together.
From so many P.G.C. I have been put on a list of
people who may help during the P.G.C. I put it in
logic order under headings, the list is long but
everyone can take from it what is relevant for them.
I call it magic Cs’: 3 key points for a successful job.

Referee’s Goal
By Antonia Gomez, IWBF Referee
1. WHAT DOES OFFICIATING MEAN?
It is the skill to coordinate a group of knowledge,
actions, personal skills and resources needed for
controlling a game, so that we can guarantee to
both teams the principle of to be on equal terms,
condition essential to develop an interesting game.
When we speak about feelings, we can find three
kinds of officiating:
1.-The vision that the referee has of his own
performance.
2.-The vision that the rest of people have of his
performance.
3.-The real vision of his performance (it’s necessary
to have the tools to measure it with objective facts)
Knowledge:
-The play.
-Rules
-Experience.
-Administrative rules.
Common actions :
-Position
-Non-speaking Communication
language...).
To do a good job controlling a game is, sometimes,
a non tangible activity. The performance of the
referees can be measured in terms of number of
good judgements or mistakes, but not if this
performance have an influence on the score of the
game.
(signals,
body
Resources:
-Psychological.
-Communication.
-Be success
All the knowledge without the tools and the
appropriate resources to apply and to put into
practice, is not knowledge.
2. OFFICIALS’ TEAM
To officiate, is become invisible when the game is
going well and become visible as an only team
when the game is going bad. The officials must walk
towards the same direction, under the same criteria,
working closed and faithful, always looking for the
collaboration and the own respect and assuming
each one its role.
In some officiating teams there are not only good
referees but excellent teachers or mentors. They
are the first ones to apply Cicero’s learned words.
“if you want to learn, teach”. But sometime the new
referees forget these words when they succeed, not
respecting their partners.
Each member of the team has its own endless
fantasies, longings, failures and expectations, as
personal as sportive, and it should be administrated
and coordinated with only one purpose, to work
together to make a success of the game.
3. TO CONTROL A GAME
In order to manage a high level and to become
accepted in the officiating world, it’s necessary to
listen to all the parts involved in the basketball, with
empathy and knowing how communicate our
message.
There is not better way for reinforcing the message
that to accompany the words with reliable acts,
giving all our experience and common sense. We
have to be flexible and fair but showing, when is
necessary, our authority.
I would be good to know how differentiate between
a good and a bad performance. Then, we could try
to repeat the right points and to avoid or change the
wrong ones.
Usually the feeling of a good performance is the
happiness, which is the result of a good criteria, and
the good criteria is the result of the experience.
Consequently, the experience we accumulate is the
result of good and wrong judgements of our
previous games.
A referee who controls a game, is he knows when to
whistle during a live ball and to negotiate during a
dead ball. To know how to solve problems fast and
clearly is the best way to manage the game goes in
the way we want and avoid a tense atmosphere.
The referee who can not smile is not ready to
officiate. A smile in the right time, it’s better than
one thousand sanctions.
To knowing how control and manage the game in
the good way, first we have to know which way you
want to follow, which actions will be allowed and
how we will face the small and big conflicts.
The modern officiating requests to listen everything
about a performance during a game, in order to
correct the mistakes and not be altered by the lies.
Ourselves have to know how self-evaluate
constantly and effectively. The rest of the
participants, players, coaches, public, etc., don’t
understand about responsibility areas, they only
understand about quality judgements which don’t’
leave them in disadvantage.
Remind:
-Call only you can see. Neither invention nor
intuition calls are allowed..
-You have to call the clear things, which everybody
can see.
-Not penalize who receive the foul.
4. VERBAL VIOLENCE
Nowadays the violence in the games is increasing,
especially the verbal violence, not only between
opponents but between members of the same team,
usually coach against players.
9
In our rules we have the tools to prevent or penalise
these actions, but maybe we have been a little bit
permissive due to the few incidence in the games.
However, is evident that the insult, especially in the
communication of some coaches with young
players, is now widely used, and we have the duty
to control and stop it immediately .
the game and creates an atmosphere contrary to
us.
It’s in these situations of conflict where the capacity
of a referee of how to face them is shown. Firstclass referees manage to resolve difficult situations
without the use of the disciplinary measures, just
with comments or official warnings.
5. CONCLUSION
One of our aims have to be to reduce at maximum
the violence in our sport and we think this has to be
one step to manage it, although we are immersed in
a society more tolerant every day with situations
unacceptable from the human values view.
We have to be tolerant, nevertheless, with the
comments or opinions about our job done correctly
by coaches or players, without gestures or
aggressively. To call a technical foul for a simply
comment doesn’t show our capacity for controlling
To officiate is more than to know the rules and to
have a smart signals. It’s to know how to be well
connected with all the parts related with the game,
before, during and after the game.
We are the third team, therefore, we need
competent no competitive referees, who has to work
as far as possible with the rules and their spirit.
Principle of Verticality
The Wheelchair Cylinder
By Utku ERTAN, IWBF Referee
Verticality in wheelchair basketball is an
area where hard work is required since it is
not very popular like the Article 31 (lifting)
or some other wheelchair specific fouls or
violations. Not only referees but also
players
and
coaches
need
more
explanation and information about this
principle to prevent conflict on court.
In verticality, the principle is that a defensive player
must keep his hands and arms vertical within his
cylinder whilst defending an opponent. (The same is
the offensive player begins his upward motion and
contacting the shooter's arms. Once contact occurs
the arms are raised vertically. A foul should be
called. Apply the cylinder principle throughout the
game in all situations. Be alert to the defensive
player showing verticality with his arms in the air
whilst moving slightly forwards, into the offensive
player, with his lower body. Determine if the
defender established an initial legal guarding
position in his wheelchair, facing his opponent and
being on the spot first. A defensive player is allowed
to raise his arms VERTICALLY from a legally
established position on the floor and is entitled to
occupy
the
space within the
vertical
plane
from the floor to
the ceiling within
his cylinder in his
wheelchair.
A
defensive player
should not be
penalized
for
raising his arms
in order to play
legal
defense
within
his
cylinder.
Contact

deemed a 'nocall'. Tall players
should not be
true for the offensive player when shooting,
penalized because of their athletic abilities to block
rebounding or passing.) Defensive players move
shots and take rebounds. The offensive player
their hands and arms forward out of their cylinder as
10
should not be allowed to use his 'free' arm to clear
out the defender's arm(s) nor break the plane of the
defensive player and initiate contact with the
defensive player within his cylinder. In the low post
position be alert to the defender's arm bar being
used to push the offensive player away from the
basket as he turns to shoot. (hook-shot) Referees
have tendency to penalize a defensive player when
an offensive player who tilts his wheelchair entering
the verticality of the defensive player. What’s more,
referees should pay great attention to a defensive
player who tilts legally and does not interfere in the
cylinder of the offensive player.
In conclusion, verticality in wheelchair basketball
requires more attention because it is a very
important part of the game. To be able to judge
these special situations correctly, all participants on
court have to understand the basics of this principle.
By doing so, the conflict on court will be less and we
will enjoy the sport more.
Clinic for TD / GC
By Reinhold Schreiner, student Technical Delegate
After a long journey by
train
I
arrived
at
Antwerp where Philippe
picked me up at the
railway
station.
However, before we started to Malle we had
to wait for Emma and Brian because their
train from England was delayed.
Arriving in Malle at the Provinciaal Vormingscentrum
(the home of the club Wapper) we were welcome by
Maureen
Orchard
(IWBF
President),
Ron
Coppenrath (IWBF Europe Secretary General) and
Dirk Cossaer (Clinic organiser) and other people
taking part in the clinic. I did not know the majority of
them but after a few minutes we were all talking
about our differences as TD.
On Friday before the programme began we started
the clinic by introducing ourselves. The topics were
TD in IWBF and IWBF Europe, the role of a FIBA
Commissioner, the difference between a FIBA and
an IWBF Commissioner and a selection of
wheelchair basketball rules. After dinner we were
given some free time but it seemed only natural for
the group to continue their discussions and
experiences as a TD. Of course this included
drinking some the very good Belgium beets.
After breakfast on Saturday we continued with the
programme.
Items that were discussed were
doping control, advertising regulations, the statistic
software “SmartStats” and the software “DisSports”
was explained. Then came the three written tests
that nobody wanted to do, but we had to do the test.
Afterwards we went to a local restaurant and had an
excellent dinner at Café Trappistan. The name
Trappistan is well known for the Trappistan beer
that tastes very good. The highlight of the evening
was that we all had passed the tests.
On Sunday we discussed the tests and I was
relieved that even the participants from England had
problems with the tests; I was concerned that I
would not understand all the questions that would
be written in the English language.
I had a great time at the clinic and I’m proud to be a
member of the team. Of course I have to learn many
more things that a TD has to do. In Zwickau, I will
my very best as a student especially with Brian as
my mentor.
11
By Emma Foden, student Technical Delegate
I
was invited a few
months ago to attend
the TD/GC clinic and
accepted with slight
fear about what I was to
face. As a Team Manager for Club and
country I thought the TD always flew to nice
places in Europe and possibly the world
and seemed to have a good time at
tournaments – I wanted to see if it was true!
I started out early Thursday morning and travelled
on the Eurostar with my travelling partner Brian
Scowcroft. We arrived in Malle to be greeted in the
dining room by Maureen Orchard (IWBF President),
Ron Coppenrath (IWBF-Europe Secretary General)
and Dirk Cossaer (Clinic Organiser) and other clinic
participants who I already knew from their previous
TD roles.
We started the course by introducing ourselves; the
laughs and jokes about my colleagues started
straight away and I realised I was in for a fun three
days. I was one of three “students” so the clinic
gave me an intense period of time to learn
everything I could, pick up first-class ideas and get
to know the people I would be working with. On
introducing myself I soon found out that I was
already at a disadvantage for two reasons; one
because I am not a referee and the other because
some people had been involved in basketball since
before I was born… the other noticeable difference
was that I was the only female (apart from Maureen)
in the room! Very frightening!
The three days passed really quickly with lectures,
workshops and discussions to enable the
experienced group to share their knowledge and
experience to the whole group. On Saturday
afternoon, came the three exams that none of us
really wanted to do – we tried everything to avoid
them but Ron wasn’t accepting bribes! Saturday
evening we went to a local restaurant where we
were served up a meal made with the local beer – it
went down really well after the tough days in the
classroom and we all found out we had passed the
exams which made it even better.
Sunday came and we packed up our things
(Belgium chocolates and beer included) and myself
and Brian headed back to England. The clinic was
fantastic; great meals (even with all the bread!), a
good venue and THE best group of people to work
with who all shared their good and bad stories –
thank you to you all!
I had a great time on the course but realise that
being
a
Technical
Delegate
and
Game
Commissioner isn’t always fun and laughter; well
maybe it is but I still have a lot to learn so if I
happen to be TD at a tournament you are
competing in please be nice!!
Classification
Explanation on Amputees
By Regina Costa, IWBF Classifier
When they created the
Functional
Classification System,
Bernard
Courbariaux
and Horst Strohkendll
based the limits and
characteristics of the classes according to
the level of Spinal Cord Injury. For
Amputees, taking these limits and
characteristics into consideration, they
spoke about the length of the stump(s).
With the evolution of the game, the System also
evolved. We found out that the level of Spinal Cord
Injury alone is not sufficient to determine the volume
of action of a wheelchair basketball player. Similarly,
for Amputees, the length of stump(s) is not sufficient
to determine the volume of action.
The perspective of today’s Classification System is
to regard the functional capacity of a player and
from that observation attribute a class according to
the definitions of each class.
12
In this article we are considering only the lower limb
Amputees, regardless of any disability in the upper
limbs or trunk.
To classify we observe:
•
Double or single amputation
•
Below the knee or above the knee
•
Length of the stump(s)
•
Hemipelvectomy or hip disarticulation
•
Placement of the strapping
As you all know, a player with hemipelvectomy
plays with 3.5, but it’s important to mention that the
only way this is confirmed is by the presentation of
an X-ray. If the player doesn’t present this document
he/she will be classified as a hip disarticulation or
short stump, i.e., 4.0 player.
These days Classifiers consider the functionality of
the stump as well as its length. After on-court
observation and, in some cases, measurement of
the stump(s), the final classification takes place.
The correct classification for the player, always
takes
into
consideration
characteristics of each class.
the
functional
gain more power and stability, especially in the
frontal plane.
For amputations below the knee we also have to
take in consideration the positioning and/or kind of
strapping used. In some cases this can change the
functional ability of a player and, consequently,
his/hers classification. Any kind of support under
the stump(s) allows the player to push against it and
In the following schema you can find drawings that
serve as guidelines for classification of amputees
regardless of the functionality of the stump(s). But,
as mentioned, the final class will only be given after
careful observation on the basketball court.
EuroCup 2010
EuroLeague 1
Group A, Meaux - France
By Fernando Zappile, Technical dlegate
MEAUX – FUNDOSA 52-56
A very good start by
Fundosa always up in the
score for the first two
quarters, but in third quarter
Meaux changed a few
players on court and ended the third quarter 39-39.
The fourth quarter was going to be decisive for
Meaux trying to play at the same level. Wow, what a
nice game, very well played from both teams. Two
mistakes by Meaux at the end helped Fundosa win
the game for 52-56.
PADOVA - TARANTO
87-89
A nice game with the two Italian teams playing very
good. After the first two quarters there was a tight
score 43-43. Well, what to say, just that they are
fighting point for point, the third quarter ended 6161. The last quarter was very exciting for spectators.
A wonderful game played by both teams, but at the
end one should win, but we had to wait for extra
time because the fourth quarter ended 75-75. Really
really the best game, Taranto won but Padova did
not lose. Final score 87-89.
FUNDOSA - ACES
70-61
After the two first quarters Fundosa demonstrated it
was one the strongest teams of the round 35-26
against Aces. The same story in the third quarter
55-42. Fundosa had only to keep going, winning
70-61.
TARANTO - MEAUX
59-92
In this game we would know who wanted to go to
the final, playing a very good game against Taranto.
After two quarters 35-43. Some emotion in this
quarter for a technical foul called on Taranto’s
coach and a player ending 45-69. The last quarter
ended with Taranto losing 59-92.
ACES - PADOVA
65-55
40-31 This was the result after the first two quarters
for Aces, but let me say a few words about Padova,
they were playing the best basketball in the
tournament, especially since they have young
players, no foreign players and a very small bench,
this means that coach Cliff Fisher is doing a very
good job. Thanks Padova for giving us a good game
with Aces and thanks Aces for playing better and
winning for 65-55.
TARANTO - FUNDOSA
61-93
No story in this game, Fundosa were too strong for
Taranto and Fundosa is one of the two teams going
in final. Score 61-93.
PADOVA - MEAUX
43-67
As I said before, Padova was showing us the best
basketball of all tournament, but not as strong as
Meaux, after first two quarters 24-37. In third quarter
Padova lost their best player number 6 Raourahi
Ahmed and this was really the end for them, Final
score for Meaux 43-67.
ACES - TARANTO
101-71
In this game the chance for Aces to try to get to the
final to win against Taranto and than to win in last
game with Meaux, for this reason they started very
fast and very strong ending the first two quarters 5734. Nothing to do for Taranto, Aces won 101-71.
FUNDOSA - PADOVA
84-66
What to say about this game, Fundosa won easily,
going into the final because they have their best
player injured, again Padova showed us wonderful
basketball. Final score for Fundosa 84-66.
MEAUX - ACES
52-54
The most important game of round, who ever won
between these two teams would be in the final with
Fundosa, a lot of emotion was expected. Just like I
said at the end of the first quarter 14-12. What a
second quarter for Aces, 22-32. Another splendid
quarter well played by Aces with Meaux trying to
catch up, third quarter score 37-50, not so much
time remaining for Meaux. In the last quarter Meaux
caught up and in the last 12 seconds 52-54, ball for
Aces. Final score 52-54. Meaux in final with
Fundosa.

Group B, Zwickau - Germany
By Brian Scowcroft, Technical Delegate
After a very early start, leaving home at
04:15, I was met at a cold and snow
covered Leipzig airport. Ricardo and Martin
greeted me warmly and whisked me away
on the 90 minute drive to Zwickau. All the
officials and teams were accommodated at
the fairly new “Airport “ Hotel, but I could
not see any planes or runway!!
After a prolonged opening
Euroleague 1 round got started
ceremony
this
RSC ROLLIS ZWICKAU v HYERES HANDICLUB
The opening match was close for the first 5 minutes,
but the strength, speed and agility of the home team
was far too much for the French. Filipski and
Luszynski were dominating until early in the second
period when Filipski picked up his third foul.
Pohlmann substituted and this allowed the French a
chance to catch up, but not for long. The home team
continued in this manner for the rest of the match, to
the great pleasure of the fans drumming team.
Filipski 21, Pohlmann 15 and Luszynski 17. 17 big
points also for Boustilla from France.
ECONY GRAND CANARIA v CD ONCE
ANDALUCIA
Having two teams from Spain in the same round
caused problems for the Spanish official as the
number of games he could officiate was limited. The
stronger team from Andalucia slowly pulled ahead.
The same pattern continued during the last two
periods with Andalucia winning easily.
HYERES HANDICLUB v AS. S. STEFANO
A typical slow start for the first game of the day. The
French were better and more confident in their team
play. The Italians had a strong defence and double
14
teamed Boustilla to prevent his strong play and
influence on the game. The small French squad
tired once again in the second half. Marina Mohnen
18 and Dimitri Tanghe 17 from Stefano with
Boustilla and Falempe 16 point each for Heheres.
CD ONCE ANDALUCIA v RSC ROLLIS ZWICKAU
Once took a 7 point lead by the third minute as the
home team failed to score. With 3 minutes
remaining in the first period the teams were level.
During the second period Once pressed to establish
a 6 point gap at the half, but they could not stop
Luszynski who had scored 18 points at this time.
Once kept establishing a 6 point lead only to see the
home team claw back. The score was 76-75 at the
start of the last minute. Once pressed up the court
forcing Zwickau to shoot from distance, miss and
foul. Once inbounded straight to # 5 De Paz Pazo,
who kept his cool hitting 6 straight free throws to
seal the game for Spain. He ended the game with
44 points including 6 3 pointers, whilst Luszynski
could only manage 30!!! A magnificent and exciting
contest.
AS. S. STEFANO v ECONY GRAND CANARIA
A strange game, Everybody expected an easy win
for the Italians, but they seemed to be playing
against themselves! Stefano suddenly woke up after
rd
half time and finally gained the lead in the 33 .
minute. They then took complete control of the
match to run out easy winners.
CD ONCE ANDALUCIA v HYERES HANDICLUB
Hyeres were just not strong enough to cope with the
standard of the other teams and were easily beaten
by much better opposition, who used the opportunity
to give their bench players a good outing.
ECONY GRAND CANARIA v RSC ROLLIS
ZWICKAU
Gran Canaria were unable to withstand the German
blitz and were completely overwhelmed
was filled with passionate fans noisily supported by
drummers and cheerleaders. The home team was
determined to please its fans and easily defeated
the Italians after a strong second half performance
At the end of this long day we had a chance to relax
back at the hotel when everybody attended a grand
banquet. Most of the players went to bed early as all
the games on Sunday were important for different
reasons.
The organisation arranged for a small room at
sportshall for WIFI competitions and a crèche. This
was an excellent idea. The whole weekend was well
supported by the local residents and the club is to
be congratulated on its very large volunteer group.
AS. S. STEFANO v CD ONCE ANDALUCIA
After the first 3 minutes Andalucia was in front 6:0.
But afterwards it was a very exciting game. In the
third quarter the Italians stopped the run of Once
th
and made 10 points without a reply. The 4 quarter
was the most exiting quarter of the tournament. The
score changed every time between the two teams
with the better end for CD ONCE ANDALUCIA
because Stefano could not stop Once’s player De
Paz Pazo who scored 33 points.
The table officials were a very steady and reliable
group, making only a few minor mistakes. A special
mention must go to Thomas Ortiz, a local
wheelchair official, who worked the classification
cards for every game of the tournament.
The club is very interested in hosting the final next
year in the city sport shall, which has two courts and
is in the town centre, close to all the main shops. I
would fully support this venture. They have an
excellent organisation in place. Congratulations are
in place for local organiser Lisa Koessling and all
her committee. Classifier Jan-Willem Voorthuijzen
and a new ITO for the future Rheinhold Schreiner.
HYERES HANDICLUB v ECONY GRAND
CANARIA
Honour was at stake. The team that lost was out of
the Euroleague competitions. The French were
determined to win and finally played to their full
potential. The Spaniards did not give in, but they
could not overcome Hyeres.
I left with very fond memories and would like to
return again for the finals. I was impressed with the
TV coverage and really touched to receive so many
presents. What a way to spend my 66th. Birthday.
Danke schone Zwickau, your club, organisation and
fans are in the top three in Europe if not the world
RSC ROLLIS ZWICKAU v AS. S. STEFANO
The most important game of the weekend. A must

Group C, Bordeaux – France
By Ron Coppenrath, Technical Delegate
The
Leopards
de
Guyenne
Bordeaux
organised for the first
time an event in the
EuroCup Competition.
Thanks to a wild card
the club was allocated
to the EuroLeague 1, as
the team has many well known players and
staff in their squad, like Sylvian
Deregnacourt, Philippe Baye, Abou Konate
and Lakhdar Badache.
All teams were hoping to have a lot of sunshine
during their stay in Bordeaux but the weather was
not as it should be this time of the year, like in many
places in Europe.
The team of Bordeaux had the honour to open the
event against three time winners of the Champions
Cups the club RSV Lahn Dill (GER). The Lahn Dill
team with star players Joe Johnson, Mickel Paye,
Patricia Cisneros, and Geshe Schünemann did not
find any difficulties in this game and secured an
easy win 64 – 90.
The second game of the Friday evening was the
game between the Italian team Lottomatica Elecom
Sport Onlus Roma and the Spanish team Aldasa
Amfiv from Vigo. The Italian squad with top players
Hartnett and Ness from Australia, the Argentinean
player Berdun, and some well known Italian players
started well in the first period 28 – 12 to play more
relaxed during the second period 21 – 19. They
easily controlled the game and finally won 95 – 62.
On the Saturday morning we started the day with
the game RSV Lahn Dill versus the Turkish team
Besiktas J.C. and during this game the German
team did not have any difficulty with the Turkish
team and secured their first 100 point win and 52 for
the Besiktas team.
The next game was between the home team and
the Aldasa Amfiv team. Here the Bordeaux team
had the advantage of their experienced players and
won the game 72 – 82.
The third game of the day was the game Besiktas –
Lottomatica Ellecom, the first and fourth period was
for the Turkish team but the Italians made the
difference in the third period and won 61 – 79. The
16
next game between Besiktas and the Lahn Dill
team. The Germans already doubled the score in
the first period 11 – 22, lost the second period with
five points, easily controlled the third period 13 – 16
to finish after a strong fourth period with 52 – 75,
and one leg in the finals after three wins.
The last game of the Saturday was the game of the
Italian versus the home team, this game was good
controlled by the Italian who only lost the second
period, but finally win the game with 86 – 67, and
also gained their third win of the event.
On Sunday we started the day with the game
between Besiktas and Aldasa Amfiv. The Turkish
gave it away in the second period 6 – 23 and
therefore lost the game with 66 – 75. How important
this loss was made clear at the end of the event.
The Germans played the second game of the day
versus the Italian team, and winner would become
first in the event. After a close first period 19 -15 the
Germans made the difference in the second period
23 – 12. Easily controlled the third period with 24 –
16 and then lost the last period with 16 – 21, but
overall it was enough to win the game with 82 – 64
and also win the event, with the Italians finishing
second.
The last game would bring the decision for the third
place in the ranking. All three teams had a change.
Host Bordeaux had to play against Besiktas and
needed to win to become third. Besitkas had to win
to come to a tie between three teams and then the
score average would bring the final ranking of the
teams. Both teams started nervously and were
eager to win the game but the Besiktas team was by
far the stronger team in the first period 13 – 25, the
second period was also for Besikas but with only
one point difference 18 – 19. During the third period
the Bordeaux team was the strongest with 21 – 16
but then it was over as the Besiktas team easily won
the last period 14 – 25 to gain the win of the game
with 66 – 85. Due to this result three teams
finishing with 5 points, thus the score average
should bring the outcome. This was in favour of the
Turkish team, with the Spanish finishing fourth and
host Bordeaux as fifth and last team. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr Eric
Bretenoux and his small group of volunteers for the
excellent hospitality we all received from this first
time host.

EuroLeague 2
Group A
By Hans Tukker, Technical Delegate
Because
the sports
hall was not available at
Sunday the schedule
was changed to 5
games at Friday and 5
at Saturday. This system works very well,
and should be a alternative for some local
organisations. An advantage is that
according to the standard program many
teams cannot return home after the games
at Sunday and with this schedule all teams
were able to return at Sunday although the
transfer at Rome airport
The bad weather had an influence at the arrivals of
the teams and ITO’s. The TD’s (writers of this
article) had a delay of 2,5 hours and therefore they
were not able to check the sports hall before the
teammanager meeting. This meeting was started at
22.15 h and finished by 23.00 h and followed by a
meal.
The check of the sports hall and the meeting with
the referees was scheduled for Friday morning
before the start of the first game. The flexibility of
everybody made the things happen.
In the opening game between the two Italian teams
Anmic Sassari and Porto Torres it was immediately
clear Sassari was far to strong. Both teams are
based at non Italian players. After half time 42- 22 it
became a practice. The second game was Olham
Owls versus Fuhnpaiin Peraleda. In the first quarter
Oldham stayed close (12-13) because of a strong
Defense and good team work, the well known
British way of playing the game. Then it was clear
good shooting and more power under the basket of
the Spanish made the difference. In the game Porto
Torres – KKTCell it became soon clear that the
Turkish team was weakened by the leave of an
male and a female player of their national team. Via
23-10, 47-18, 61-28 the final result was 84-42. The
fourth was a very interesting game. After 5 minutes
you could think Peraleda -the upcoming team now
in Spain- was a little to strong. Then at 9-2 in favor
of Peraleda the game changed. Jaime Mazzi (USA)
and Maximilliano Ruggeri showed their skills. Good
shooting and good 2 to 2 plays made the difference.
Step by step Sassari moved away and finally it
became an easy victory from the Italian number 8
over the Spanish number 3. Also in the last game
of the Friday it was clear that the level was to high
for the Turkish team of KKTCell. The motor of the
Oldham team was good old Dan Johnson who
scored 18 point in a bit more than 20 minutes.
Because of the very good level of the score table we
were able to work with a local game commissioner
and to start at Saturday with the 3 men mechanic (3
referees on court). This was good for the teams
(more balanced refereeing) and the referees (more
practice).
The second day started with the game Peraleda
versus Porto Torres. The Italians stayed
(unexpected) close until the last quarter. It was
Viadas Stravinskas (2,0 points/Lit) with 20 points
and scoring all points from inside the key who keep
them in the game. But his opponent Ian Sagar
(GBR) made 25 points and made the difference. In
the game Oldham versus Sassari Oldham was able
to stay close until the first quarter (12-14) and then it
was over. Coach Gary Peel gave Dan Johnson rest
and that gave Jaimi Mazzi the possibility to shoot 4
3-pointers. In their last game Peraleda beat KKTCell
17
Finbow with his 16 points in this game he used his
skills in a perfect way.
easily and Ian Sagar made his tournament high with
32 points. This victory gave Peraleda access to the
finals of the Willi Brinkmann Cup. The game for the
third place was between Porto Torres and Oldham.
Neutral observers were expecting a good game,
with best changes for the Italians. But Oldham
started very strong good team defense and again
with Dan Johnson as a strong leader and scorer (30
points). The result was 36-24 in favor of the British.
Aggressive play and sometimes combined with a full
court press resulted in 58-53 with 5 minutes to go.
th
Then Vaidas Stravinskas got his 5 and it was over
for Porto Torres. It is a pleasure to announce Pete
The last game was for the statistics. GSD Anmic
Sassari was already 1st in the group and KKTCell
th
already 5 . The Italians showed their fans a nice
demonstration .
Of course there were some challenges, but we can
look back at very interesting event, with a great host
and at technical level many strong low pointers.
Thanks to Angelo and Angela who both made it
happen.

Group B, Toulouse – France
By Detlef Rehling, Technical Delegate
After
a short opening
ceremony we could
only
assist
at
a
wonderful game, very
close until the end
between the home team of Toulouse and
the Spanish team of Valladolid. At the end
of the 4 th quarter nothing was decided. So
the victory was gained in overtime 90 : 88 at
the end and the lucky winner was the team
of Toulouse, well supported by nearly 300
spectators. In the second game Frankfurt
won against Izmir 72 : 46.
Day 2 of this competition and another exciting game
between Valladolid and the Italian team of Quartu
92 : 82. After the successes by the teams of
Frankfurt Valladolid and Toulouse, the last game
was decisive for this tournament. 400 supporters in
18
the sportshall to watch the victory of Toulouse which
gave them the ticket for the final round in Badajoz (
Spain ).
On day 3 the decision for the second place was
taken in the game Valladolid against Frankfurt.
Close in the last quarter with the better end for
Valladolid 81 :73.
Finally we saw very good games in a good
tournament.
Many thanks to Serge Bonafé and his team of
volunteers who tried there best and give us help
when needed it. Very positive was that the Hotel
was very near to the sports hall, 2 minutes walking,
a wooden floor gave the speed to the players so
that there were high scores in some games.
Conclusion: The site merits a final, 2 sports halls
near a very good hotel, but then they had to heat a
little bit the Gym!

Conveen Sitting Bulls – ASV Bonn 39 – 76
ASV Bonn got off to a good start quickly putting up
15 points on the board 7 of them from Adam Lancia.
The Bulls on the other hand only managed 6.
Veteran coach Andreas Zankl took a time-out to talk
strategy and afterwards the Bulls were able to
mobilize their defense and slow down the Bonn’s
offence. This turned out only to be temporarily.
Bonn’s pressed the whole game giving the Bulls
only a short time under their basket to make a play,
far too little time to be effective. With the
tournament’s top scorer and possible MVP Adam
Lancia in good form, Bonn was just too hard to stop.
SSB Steelers – Beit Halochem 58 – 72
The Steelers opened the game strong quickly
building a 6 point lead forcing Beit Halochem to take
a time out. This seasons Steelers are a mix of
merited veteran players and promising juniors.
Could this mix be the reason Beit Halochem had a
hard time getting their offence up to speed or could
it have been the snowy weather outside. The team
from Tel Aviv with the help of their captain and
guard Roei Rozenburg fought back and the early
lead the Steelers had was eaten up with the first
quarter ending 19-18.
The second quarter was very exciting with each
team exchanging scores and neither team able to
make a break the others defense. In the middle of
the third period the score was 42-42, neither team
able to find a weak point in the others play. Beit
Halochem took command of the game in the
th
beginning of the 4 quarter and pulled away to a 10
point lead after 4 minutes of play. Defensively the
Israelis were using an effective full court press to
stop the Steeler veterans from a counter attack. It
was a great game both teams worthy of the win but
this time Beit Halochem came out on top.
ASV Bonn – Silverspokes Gent 67 – 40
Saturday morning’s first game started very close
with both teams trading points. At the end of the
period Bonn had pulled away but only marginally.
Gent started the 2nd period poorly unable to stop
Bonn’s offensive charge. It took Gent 3 minutes to
make their first score in this quarter, also many
turnovers in the back court which Bonn converted to
points put Gent into deep trouble going to the half
time break.
Beit Halochem Tel Aviv – Conveen Sitting Bulls 77 –
53
Both teams started the game with real strong
offence putting more points on the board than any
other teams in the first period. This delighted the
home crowd who turned out to support the Bulls.
The second quarter was very defensive from both
st
teams and only half the points of the 1 quarter
were scored. The game remained close and the
small lead the Bulls had was eaten up by Beit
Halochem. During the 2nd half the Tel Aviv team
19
found another gear and took command of the game
th
and in the middle of the 4 quarter had a lead of 20
points.
Silverspokes Gent – Sheffield Steelers 57 – 49
A must win for both teams and another game in this
preliminary round were the teams were equal in the
beginning of the game. The score 24-26 in the
middle of the 2nd quarter attesting to that fact. Gent
started the second half strong scoring 6-0 in the
opening minutes. Steelers veteran Paul Hudson
made their first points of the half after 3 minutes of
play. The chase was on…. At the end of the 3rd
period the Steelers had caught up but not yet
passed the Silverspokes. At the close of the period
the Silverspokes had a 3 point lead 43-40. The team
from Gent managed to hold off the Steelers and
posted their first victory.
Beit Halochem – ASV Bonn 63 – 64
The first score, an easy layup by Tel Aviv’s Roei
Rozenburg, in a game to decide this qualification
rounds 1st place team. Despite the press by Bonn
their opponents were able to break through and
score on 4 consecutive offensives. The press only
delayed Beit Halochem a few seconds mostly using
their high to pass over the press. The quarter ended
with a 4 point lead for Beit Halochem. In the first
minute of the second quarter Bonn scored 4 quick
points and the game was tied and in the next
offence took the lead for the first time. The half time
score the lowest of the 6 matches so far is attest to
the defensive power of both teams. Will it be
rd
defense that wins this game in the end. The 3
quarter saw Bonn draw away with as much as 8
points which quickly drew a time-out from Beit
Halochem coach. The team from Tel Aviv was able
to catch up much do to the magnificent play of their
center Rotem Philipps. With 2 minutes left to play
Biet Halochem took the lead again. Bonn fought
back and with 8 seconds left made a two point shot
to win the game with one point.
Steelers – Conveen Sitting Bulls 41 – 69
Both teams are looking for their first win the
advantage could be the enthusiastic home crowd
that have turned out on Saturday evening to cheer
the team on. Though hearing the coaches’ advice
over the 5 base drums made verbal strategic
commands worthless. The Steelers started out with
a slight lead only to see the Bulls comeback and pull
ahead with 7 points at the end of the period. By half
time the Bulls had a comfortable lead the question
was could they sustain the lead even in the second
rd
half where they have earlier had problems. In the 3
quarter the Bulls seemed to be unstoppable and
pulled away with more than 20 points. The Steelers
were never able to catch up thereby giving the Bulls
their first win.
Silverspokes Gent – Beit Halochem Tel Aviv 48 – 71
The first game Sunday morning one would think the
teams would be tired but both these team came to
play. Both team had a strong start with Beit
Halochem in a marginal lead. During the second
quarter the team from Tel Aviv continued to score
were as the Silverspokes struggled offensively. In
the 3rd quarter the Silverspokes veteran player now
coach Didier Vernassen found an offensive strategy
that worked and together with strong defensive play
they were able to gain on Beit Halochem. Gents
weapon was their new young players who brought a
strong will and good technical game to slow the Tel
Aviv down. Gent will be a team to reckon with in the
future.
ASV Bonn – Sheffield Steelers 77 – 40
Bonn started the game slow but came back and
quickly built up a comfortable lead, always using a
full court press to slow their opponents down. It
turned out to be a very effective weapon. The
Steelers despite the offensive efforts of veteran
Collin Price were not able to beat the tournaments
best team.
Conveen Sitting Bull – Silverspokes Gent 57 – 41
rd
The game to decide 3 place and a trip to a final
round. The Bulls opened the match with scoring on
their first 4 offenses. Gent scored its first points on
the foul line after 3 minutes of play. But towards the
end of the first quarter Gent had equalized the score
and had the momentum turning in their favor. In the
second quarter Joachim Gustavsson of the Bulls
used his height advantage over Gent to score goal
after goal. Going into the half time pause the Bulls
had a secure lead. The Bulls continued to build on
their lead in the 3rd quarter. The Bulls held their lead
th
even in the 4 quarter.

Group D, St Vith - Belgium
By Mig Goodwin, Technical Delegate
T
his competition was organised by
Roller Bulls who play in a German
league, but play out of the Belgium
town of St Vith, situated in the
picturesque ‘mountainous region’ of
east Belgium. The majority of townsfolk
either volunteered to help, support or
attend the tournament. Consequently,
the event was well prepared and the
Saturday evening Gala-Dinner was
attended by over 400 people who
experienced a truly memorable evening
of
exceptionally
fine
food,
entertainment from a local dance
troupe and the unusual combination of
a comedian who later became a balletic
aerial performer.
them at short notice, but competed ‘out of
competition’ meaning their results would not affect
the competition. This left only 4 teams competing for
further glory in the championship finals to be held in
Spain, Switzerland & Poland on 23 April 2010.
The home team Roller Bulls were unbeaten
winners scoring 273 pts and only conceding 193
with their closest game being a 14 pt win over RSC
Osnabruck; they therefore go forward to Badajoz
(ESP). Lorenzo BOTERBERG (83) was the Roller
Bulls ‘scoring machine’ ably supported by Samir
BADER (60).
With the exception of one game, all fixtures in this
pool had the eventual winners in the lead at half
time, then going on to win by between 11-35 points;
however we were still privy to some exceptional and
highly entertaining basketball. The spectators made
a positive contribution to the enjoyable, but very
loud, atmosphere.
CAPSAAA came second scoring 273 pts but
conceding 276 and losing to Roller Bulls by 15 pts.
Abdelhak EL HADAOUI (70) and Mohamed FATHI
(59) made the majority of points for the Paris team
who now go to Geneve (SUI).
Pilatus Dragons can prepare for Lodz (POL) as
they came 3rd with 211 pts against 265 conceded.
Maurice AMACHER (70) contributed the bulk of
points assisted by Matthias SUTER (41).
The international buyout of the chocolate company
Cadbury (UK) by Craft (USA) forced Cadbury
Engelli Yildzlar Sport Club to withdraw from the
competition. Fortunately, RSC Osnabrück replaced
BC Nevsky Allyans from St Petersburg (RUS) did
not record a win, but in Skucas KVYTAUTAS (113)
had the tournament’s top scorer with an incredible
21
44% of the 257 pts scored by the team, including a
tournament game high of 38 points!
FRERIKS (94). They were Pool Ds Fair Play team
with from 8-28 fouls below any other team, scored
the most points (293), committed the least fouls (49)
and had they been in the competition would have
been 2nd to Roller Bulls, who were the only team to
conceded less points (54).
Special mention must be made to RSC Osnabrück
who filled the ‘Cadbury void.’ Hitting 293 pts and
conceding 247, they had the tournaments other
points ‘centurion’ in their captain Mustafa
KORKMAZ (109), closely followed by Bert

EuroLeague 3
Group A, Norrköping - Sweden
By Allan McAleese, Technical Delegate
The views of undisturbed snow and frozen
lakes met Classifier, Hans Vorsteveld, and
me as our aircraft from Amsterdam
descended to the runway at the small
Linkoping airport on Thursday 11 March.
We were met by our driver and conveyed to
the splendid Elite Grand Hotel in
Norrkoping.
After we had had time to settle in we, accompanied
by Saskia Warmerdam (referee) were driven to the
Stadium Arena to meet Anna Holmberg one of the
Norrkoping Dolphins Organising Committee.
Following a guided tour of the new arena we
watched the Semi Final Second Leg of the Baltic
Basketball League Cup between the home side and
TTU from Estonia. The local side convincingly
defeated their opponents and the LOC hoped that
the weekend would continue successfully both on
and off the court. The games began on Friday
evening and proceeded as outlined below.
Norrkoping Dolphins v Beit Halochem Jerusalem
Opening game. What a way to start the tournament!
Easy win for the home team Norrkoping against Beit
Halochem from Israel. Boys from Sweden started
the game fast and had an early run 10-1. The time
22
out from the coach of Jerusalem woke the away
team and the score was 10-7. That would be the
closest margin in the game later. The hosts started
a full court press and with the points from junior
stars Lindlum and Linden, the score of the first half
was 40-23. The second half was no different. Hazor
(12 points) and Fein (16 points) from the visitors
tried to resist but this was not enough. Lija (15
points) and Mortensen (10 points) also contributed
to the easy win of the Swedish. The final score 82 –
43. It is needless to say more.
Arrows 81 v Villefranche Meyzieu Cluy
Close game from the start until the end. Both teams
were clumsy and gave each other chances to win
the game but at the end it was the Dutch that made
fewer mistakes. Smid was top scorer with 21 points
and Akrim was the top scorer for the French with 17
points. Final score: 57 – 43.
Beit Halochem Jerusalem v GRBK
This was the first game of the tournament for the
Swedish team who had filled the gap when the team
from Greece could not attend. The Swedish had an
11 point lead at the end of the first quarter which
was to be to their benefit as the Israeli squad slowly
cut the deficit in the remaining 30 minutes. At the
final buzzer the score was 52 – 54. Top scorer was
Schmarblad with 17 points and for Jerusalem,
Hazor with 12 points.
a 12 point advantage that the extended by the end
of the game to 48 – 62. Top scorer Linden (26).
Villefranche Meyzieu Cluy v Norrkoping Dolphins
This was the second of the competition for both
teams. The home team played a very strong game
and led by 35 points at half time. The Dolphins had
opened up a gap of over 50 points by the final break
and this allowed Coach Bjorck to give all his players
court time. Despite the big difference the French
squad kept playing in a positive way. Top scorer of
the game was Lindblom with 33 points and this
earned him the MVP trophy for this game. Final
score: 47 – 92.
GRBK v Villefranche Meyzieu Cluy
In the early morning game on Sunday the
Gothenburg / Stockholm combination took on the
French representatives who after a close first period
(14 – 16) decided they were going to end their
campaign with a win as by the final break they were
44 – 61 ahead. GRBK won the final period and the
game ended 57 – 69. Top scorer Sommarblad (22)
Beit Halochem Jerusalem v Arrows 81
In their final game of the competition the Israeli
squad were looking for their first win and Arrows
were determined to secure second place. It was the
Dutch who started better and with 10 – 19 and 4 –
21 quarters were in command at half time. The
team from Jerusalem staged a comeback in the
third recucing the deficit by 11 points but Arrows
rallied and took the high scoring final period by one
point to win 59 – 75. Top scorer Y Cohen (21)
GRBK v Arrows 81
The first quarter was very close with Arrows going
into the break with a slender 1 point advantage. By
halftime they had stretched this slightly to four and
by the final break to twelve. In the final quarter
GRBK staged a comeback and with two minutes left
had reduced the lead to 2 points. Arrows held on to
the lead and won the game 61 – 66. Top scorer
was Van Der Werf with 23 points.
Norrkoping Dolphins v GRBK
Sweden against Sweden.
The hosts were
determined to finish the competition undefeated and
against a small squad who had a few threatening
injuries they had little difficulty winning all four
quarter (27 – 6, 18 – 14, 18 – 12, 21 – 10) to close
out the game 84 – 42. Top scorer Mortensen (25)
Villefranche Meyzieu Cluy v Beit Halochem
Jerusalem
Villefranche Meyzieu Cluy won the first quarter 15 –
13 and increased this to 34 – 21 by halftime before
Beit Halochem Jerusalem reduced this to 43 – 36
with 10 minutes remaining. This was as close as it
got as the game ended 52 – 45. The top scorer
again was the winner of the game MVP. This time it
was Burslier with 20 points.
Following the final game all other participants
quickly packed up to begin their respective long
journeys home leaving the Israeli squad to enjoy a
snowball fight before they returned home the next
day.
Arrows 81 v Norrkoping Dolphins
This game was to decide the winner of the group
and qualifier for the Challenge Cup Finals. The
hosts decided that they were to progress and
started better leading 10 – 20 at the first break. In
the second period Arrows reduced the gap by 6 but
by the end of the penultimate session Dolphins had

Group B, Brnö, Czech Republic
By Aharon Markovitz, Technical Delegate
Brno,
the
Czech
Republic‘s
second
largest city, is the
metropolis of Moravia
and
an
important
tourist centre for all
who want to explore the natural and
cultural beauties of the South-Moravian
region, with a special cultural and sports
event Brno is a perfect place to hold a
tournament like this.
The team from Greece cancelled their participation
due to financial problems, IWBF Europe nominated
a team from Salzburg Austria to be an out of
competition team. After checking the Hotel of the
teams and the new sport hall, a beautiful new
complex I can only salute the organisers…well
done…
As we received the information from the team from
the Netherlands regarding their late arrival in the
evening together with their delegation referee, this
caused a problem, as the referee should be at the
first game and also at the meeting as well as the
team manager what a pity. The team manager’s
meeting was short and brief
and all the info
needed passed by Hana, the organiser, and the
team managers had only good things to say about
the organizer. Moving on to the referees meeting
and I was pleased to find a nice mixture of young
referees and experienced ones. I understand, as
the referee from Austria is not International yet we
worked together over some points.
Because the GBR team had to leave early we did
not have a closing ceremony, only a short opening
ceremony, as Katharine congratulated the teams
and the volunteers, I also add my warm words and
handed the memento to Hanna, and the tournament
is on.!!!
The first game of the tournament,
Hobit Brno vs the Beit Halochem HAIFA team from
Israel. The team from Haifa controlled the beginning
of the game, and a difference of 10 point kept all
along the first period. The half time ended with the
score of 43 – 22 for Haifa. Haifa had shown no
mercy on the local team and after 40 pointes at the
rd
end of the 3 period and at the end an easy win for
the Israeli team 66 – 38 Haifa won.
Game 2 Salzburg VS RGK Rhinos, at the beginning
it looked like an easy game for the GBR team but
shortly the game become more and more interesting
as the score changed from side to side, towards the
end of the half it looked like the GBR team was too
much for the visitors from Salzburg. And by the end
of the half time 25 – 42 for RGK Rhinos. Suddenly
during the 4 th period the lead of RGK was only 8
points and less, can it be that RGK got tired? NO
only a small rest and at the end 69 – 58 for RGK
24
Saturday, a good morning
Game 3 Haifa vs BC Verkerk
A close game in the first period with a low score and
strong defence that continued into the second
period, bringing the score at half time 23 – 36 for
Haifa . During the third period Haifa continued the
strong defence and with the ultimate control of #7
on high balls the score stayed 10-12 points at the
end of the period. During the 4th period BC Verkerk ,
played better and closed the gap down to 7 points,
17 sec to the end of the game but it was too late as
Haifa won the game 66 – 59 .
Game 4 RGK Rhinos VS SK Hobit Brno
A simple easy game as the RGK players cut over
and over against the defence of Brno and kept a 30
points deference up to the half time .The second
half was too heavy for the local team as they were
beaten by over 70 points. FINAL SCORE – 110 – 31
for RGK Rhinos
Game 5 BC Verkerk vs RSV Salzburg
A game between 2 equal
teams and
nice
basketball developed ,the score moves from side to
side ,low score from both teams brought the end
th
of the 4 period , and only at Buzzer did BC
manage to shoot the last basket and win. 57 – 56.
Game 6 RGK Rhinos vs Beit Halochem Haifa
A very nervous start from the game , this match
would determine who will be the winner in this
tournament, with a lot of missed shots and
offensive fouls the first period was tie, and as the
players in Haifa team lose the control and the lead
to RGK , 29 -20 by the end of the period.
The second half started strongly and only at the
end of the last period did RGK manage to shoot
better and to take the lead , 57 – 52 for RGK at the
end.
CONGRATULATIONS we already have the winner
of the tournament.
Game 7 Salzburg vs. Hobit Brno
This was a very dull game and a low score as well ,
25 – 14 at half time..
The second half was almost the same and the 10
points of the first period became 30 at the end. Final
score 59 – 31 for Salzburg.
Game 8 G BC Verkerk vs RGK Rhinos
A quick easy first period set the score 21-8
Rhinos, the second period was even faster and
score is 45 -23 for Rhinos. The second half was
much for BC Verkerk and with all their effort ,
game score was 80 - 53 for RGK Rhinos

Game 9 G Beit Halochem Haifa vs Salzburg
A easy and relaxed game with a lot of missed shots
by Haifa and the first half ends 29-27 for Haifa, the
second half was totally controlled by Haifa and the
game became nicer and faster ,63 -58 for Haifa at
the end.
Game 10 Last game of the tournament,
Hobit Brno VS BC Verkerk
Two equal teams made the game fast and nice ,
perfect shooting by #15 of BC made the difference.
43 – 20 at half time for BC Verkerk. The rest of the
game was too much for the host team Hobit, as they

Group C, Le Cannet - France
By Luc De Knock, Technical Delegate
I
was a little afraid to
leave for the Côte
d’Azur,
as
in
the
previous days prior to
the tournament, there
was a snowstorm in the
south of France, and the weather forecast
for the weekend was not so promising!
Our flight from Brussels on Thursday was special,
as one of the passengers was Eddy Merckx,
travelling to Nice to see the arrival of the bicycle
race Paris-Nice!
At our arrival at the airport of Nice, the president of
the organizing club of Le Cannet, Alexandre
Farrugia and his volunteers, were waiting to
welcome the team of Antwerp Players and myself.
This was a special day for Alexandre, as that same
th
morning, one of his daughters delivered of his 4
grandchild: a girl, named Syou!
We were lucky, the weather was nice and sunny.
This was a release after our cold and rainy weather
in Belgium! We were taken into the Kyriad hotel,
where teams and officials stayed for the
tournament.
This EuroLeague 3 tournament brought three new
teams into the EuroCup competition! Le Cannet
(FRA), first participation and organizing at once. The
team of C.I.D. Getafe (ESP), a team in full
expansion, in the neighborhood of the capital

defences. Le Cannet winning Q1 (10-11), Getafe
tightened up at half time (21-21), the Spanish team
taking the lead after Q3 (36-35). The French fans
were working very hard, pushing their team to
victory: 48-52.
Madrid. Due to the economic crisis, unfortunately
the team of PASKA Athens (GRE) had to withdraw
one week before the start of the competition. But we
were saved by the team of Club de Lille (FRA),
which succeeded in organizing their team, in order
to participate for its first time. Thanks a lot, Lille!
This of course gave a lot of work to our classifier
Gabriella Erbenova!
Later on Saturday night, the organizing club gave us
a big surprise with a fantastic banquet: nice food,
life music, disco and dancing! Really great!
After a short opening ceremony in the cozy sports
hall of Le Cannet (the sports hall was very
beautifully decorated with flags and posters), the
tournament started with the home team having an
easy win over Antwerp Players (BEL) 76-61, before
more than 300 enthusiastic local fans. In the second
game of the evening, the Spanish team proved to
be very solid beating Lille 73-41. All realized that Le
Cannet and Getafe were strong teams really playing
at a high level!
On Sunday we had no surprises. Lille winning over
DeVeDo 55-69, Antwerp loosing from Getafe 47-64,
and Le Cannet giving a finishing touch by winning
over DeVeDo 75-46.
The tournament ended with
ceremony, and a confetti rain!
a
brief

volunteers for a organization really appreciated by
all teams and officials! Merci beaucoup!
Starting on Saturday, Antwerp beat DeVeDo (NED)
67-60, Le Cannet won over their fellow-countrymen
of Lille 56-79, DeVeDo couldn’t keep up with Getafe
35-78, and Lille showed their strength by beating
Antwerp 66-53.
Thanks also to the many French supporters, as well
as to the many Belgian and Spanish supporters,
who really created a friendly atmosphere during this
tournament!
On Saturday night, the battle of the strongest, a very
tough and tight game with a hard and concentrated

La Misión Del Árbitro
Par Antonia Gomez, IWBF Árbitro
1. ¿QUÉ SIGNIFICA ARBITRO?
partido adelante.
Es la habilidad para coordinar un conjunto de
conocimientos, acciones, habilidades y recursos
necesarios para controlar un partido. De esta
manera se permite garantizar el principio de
igualdad de oportunidades e incertidumbres del
resultado, condiciones necesarias para desarrollar
un juego interesante.
3. CONTROLAR UN PARTIDO
Conocimientos:
-El Juego.
-El reglamento.
-Experiencia en casos de situaciones anteriores.
-Normas administrativas.
Acciones Comunes:
-Ubicación.
-Comunicación no verbal (señalización, lenguaje
corporal ...).
Recursos:
-Psicológicos.
-Comunicación.
-Ser aceptado.
2. EL EQUIPO ARBITRAL
Arbitrar, es hacerse invisible cuando la cosa va bien
y hacerse visible formando un único equipo cuando
va mal. El colectivo arbitral como equipo debe
caminar hacia la misma dirección, bajo el mismo
criterio, trabajando todos sus componentes de
manera unida y leal, buscando siempre la
colaboración y respeto entre ellos y asumiendo
cada uno su rol.
En algunos equipos arbitrales existen no sólo
buenos árbitros, sino excelentes profesores o
mentores. Son los primeros en aplicar las sabias
palabras de Cicerón: "si quieres aprender, enseña".
Y son estos profesores que después de años y ver
cómo sus jóvenes acompañantes van creciendo y
asumiendo nuevas y mayores responsabilidades en
el mundo del arbitraje, incluso en algunos casos
superando a sus mentores, se olvidan de sus
primeras pasos, no respetando a sus
acompañantes. Aquí va como anillo al dedo,
mencionar la frase "es de buen nacido el ser
agradecido".
Cada miembro del equipo, es sin duda un conjunto
de muchas fantasías, anhelos, éxitos, frustraciones,
fracasos, expectativas y demandas interminables
tanto deportivas como personales, que hay que
saber administrar y coordinar con una única
finalidad, trabajar conjuntamente para sacar el
34
Para conseguir un nivel alto y ser aceptado en el
mundo del arbitraje, es también necesario escuchar
atentamente gran parte del tiempo, a todas las
partes del baloncesto, hablar a menudo de manera
alentadora, con gran empatía y saber transmitir el
mensaje deseado.
No hay mejor forma de reforzar el mensaje que
debe acompañar las palabras con hechos creíbles,
aportando toda nuestra experiencia y el sentido
común. Hay que ser flexible y justo pero
demostrando cuando sea necesario la autoridad
que tenemos.
Arbitrar bien, controlando un partido es quizás un
objetivo o una actividad no tangible. El resultado del
arbitraje se puede medir en términos de acierto o
errores, pero no así la influencia del arbitraje en el
resultado del partido.
Cuando hablamos de sensaciones nos podemos
encontrar con tres tipos de arbitraje:
1.-Lo que uno mismo cree que ha realizado
2.-Lo que los otros han visto.
3.-El tercero, es el real (sólo hace falta poder medir
con datos objetivos)
Lo que sería bueno, es saber diferenciar lo que está
bien de una labor arbitral de lo que está mal.
Después, sería perfecto tratar de repetir lo que está
bien e intentar cambiar y mejorar lo que hemos
hecho mal.
Normalmente, la sensación de un buen arbitraje: la
felicidad, es fruto de un buen criterio y el buen
criterio, es fruto de la experiencia.
Consecuentemente, la experiencia acumulada es
fruto de buenas y malas acciones de criterio de los
partidos anteriores.
Un árbitro que controla un partido, es aquel que
sabe silbar cuando la pelota está viva y gestiona
cuando ésta está muerta. Saber resolver conflictos
de forma clara y rápida, es la mejor forma de
conseguir que el partido vaya por donde queremos
que vaya y evitar crispación al ambiente.
"El árbitro que no sabe sonreir que no se vista de
árbitro". Una sonrisa en el momento oportuno,
puede hacer más para el partido que mil sanciones.
Para saber controlar y saber llevar el partido de la
mejor manera, primero hay que saber qué camino
se quiere seguir. Qué acciones se deben permitir y
de qué manera se han de afrontar los pequeños o
grandes conflictos.
El arbitraje moderno requiere escuchar todo lo que
se critica de una actuación durante el partido, para
intentar corregir lo que es cierto y no alterarse por lo
que no sea verdad. Un mismo debe saber
autoevaluarse constantemente y efectivamente. Los
participantes no entienden de zonas de
responsabilidad, sólo entienden de aciertos de
"calidad" de no verse perjudicado.
Recuerda:
- Solo hay que sancionar lo que se ve. No inventar
ni intuir.
- Sancionar lo obvio.
- No penalizar nunca al que recibe la infracción.
4. VIOLENCIA VERBAL
Un tema que, desgraciadamente y día a día, va
adquiriendo una creciente notoriedad, es el de la
violencia. Y, de una manera singular la de tipo
verbal. Y no sólo a la que se pueda producir entre
contrincantes, y no que, incluso, entre los propios
integrantes de un mismo equipo (generalmente
entrenador / a hacia jugadores / as)
Si bien nuestros reglamentos y normas de
competición siempre han contemplado medidas
preventivas y / o sancionadoras en relación a
cualquier situación de violencia, quizás ha sido
demasiado tolerante en actitudes como las
anteriormente mencionadas, dada la poca
incidencia en que se producían.
Viendo, sin embargo, que cada día se generaliza
más el insulto como arma agresiva / ofensiva en los
terrenos de juego de una manera especial en
aquellos que se refieren a las comunicaciones
entrenador / a - jugador/ra, nos creemos en el
deber de intervenir en la cuestión. Podemos
considerar normales frases y gestos de ánimo hacia
los jugadores / as sobre la pista, pero no podemos
aceptar el insulto, aunque se utilice entre
componentes de un mismo equipo.
Ni que decir tiene, pues, que uno de los objetivos
de esta Federación, es reducir al máximo la
violencia en nuestro querido deporte y este
creemos debe ser un paso más para obtenerlo.
Aparte de esto, lo iremos planteando otros en la
misma dirección, aunque nos resulte difícil nadar a
contracorriente, tal como estamos inmersos en una
sociedad cada día más dispuesta a tolerar
situaciones que, desde un punto de vista los valores
humanos, podemos considerar inaceptables.
Los comentarios o reflexiones sobre el arbitraje
hechos, por los técnicos o jugadores, pueden ser
tolerados si se hacen de manera correcta. Por eso
antes de sancionar valoraremos la acción y la
influencia en el partido.
Aquí me permito realizar otra reflexión, se está
dando diferentes situaciones, donde un comentario
o queja puntual sobre las decisiones tomadas se
convierten en una falta técnica directa. Nuestras
decisiones están abiertas a cualquier comentario o
reflexión puntual, siempre que no lleve consigo un
cargo de gesticulación o agresividad en el hecho.
Por lo tanto, considerar como falta técnica el simple
comentario del entrenador, como "Falta", "me están
cogiendo", "silba tres segundos" ... no es el criterio
deseado. Debemos ser permisivos con estos
comentarios siempre que no perjudicamos el control
del partido y no sea una forma de crear una
atmósfera contraria al arbitraje. Aquí es donde
demostramos nuestro valor y nuestra capacidad
para juzgar estas acciones para controlar de forma
diferente ya sea con un comentario o bien con un
aviso oficial.
En las situaciones de conflicto es donde se puede
apreciar la calidad de cada uno para afrontarlo. Es
donde se puede demostrar la categoría como
árbitro: Hay que saber resolver situaciones sin
meter más leña al fuego.
Esperamos que estas líneas puedan empezar un
camino que nos lleve a una mejora del deporte. El
árbitro tiene una misión difícil que es llevar el
partido a la forma que se pueda, creando empatía
en el trabajo y aplicar el mejor camino, aplicando el
reglamento y su espíritu.
5. CONCLUSIÓN
Arbitrar, es mucho más que saber las reglas y
señalizar bien. Es saber relacionarse
particularmente con todo lo que rodea el partido e
interpretar de forma concreta lo que sucede antes,
durante y después del partido. Hay que saber
afrontar el partido, como otro equipo, el "tercer
equipo.
Deseamos árbitros competentes, no competitivos.
Recuerde siempre que los árbitros deben actuar
dentro del marco reglamentario, tanto de las reglas
de juego como de las normas administrativas, que
son las aprobadas por los clubes, y velar por el
cumplimiento del espíritu de las mismas.
Este nuevo criterio respecto a los insultos, deben
ser aplicados de forma inmediata, de manera
consistente y aplicando el sentido común
