Important information and reminder

Dear friends,
Time is running and we are just a few weeks from the beginning of our annual events in Lons-le-Saunier. Here are some important information and reminders for you and the members of your delegations:
1. Insurance:
The organization will have civil liability insurance for the sport venue where the games will be played. However, it is the responsibility of each player to be properly covered by medical/travel insurance, which will cover medical services or theft, in case such a situation would arise.
2. Equipment:
As usual, white shorts are mandatory for the World Games. Hats (baseball caps or others) are also prohibited during the games. The players’ equipment must respect the standards as stated in the FIIC official rulebook.
3. Present at the World Games:
To pursue the tradition, presents will be exchanged between players at the end of the last game. The present should be representative of the player’s nation and have a value between 10 and 20 Euros, as much as possible.
4. Rules:
The official FIIC rulebook will be used at the World Cup and the World Games. I invite all the participants to take the time to read (again) the rulebook at least once before the events; even if we play regularly, it’s always good to refresh our memory with the official rules. The rulebook can be downloaded from the FIIC’s website (http://www.inter-crosse.com) or directly from this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/e6u9k86d7si6oi6/FIIC_Rulebook_v4.0.pdf
5. Referees:
For the World Cup, a team of experienced referees has been put in place. All these referees are serious, skilled and committed to provide a fair and high-level or refereeing. However, refereed are humans and they will make mistakes, as all the players will; but let’s not forget that without referees there would be no competition and we expect absolute respect from the participants towards the referees, in and out the playing areas. During the games, only the captain or the coach can talk to the referees and only when the ball is « dead » or when the play is stopped. The referees will be under the supervision of the referee-in-chief (myself). For the World Games, the referees will be choosen among the teams, like for the past years.
6. Discipline committee:​​
A discipline committee will be formed with the referee-in-chief, a member of the FIIC board of directors and a member of the organizing committee. The discipline committee’s mandate will be to get together and make fair and appropriate decisions concerning any issue that require their attention (violence, cheating, alcohol or drug intoxication, etc.).
7. Security, alcohol and drugs:
Despite all the efforts that will be done by the organization to ensure the security of the participants, it is everyone’s responsibility to be vigilent and make sure that people can have a good time while not compromizing their or others’ safety (especially the minors). Alcohol is part of the parties and the tradition, but we must remain alert for abuse or intoxication. And of course, drugs of any kind are strictly prohibited at any place for the duration of the events. The organizers received the instruction not to hesitate to call an ambulance or request appropriate medical assistance whenever necessary (in doubt, we will take no chance — nobody is qualified to make a medical diagnostic).
8. Flags :To forget to bring a flag of your country/nation in Lons-le-Saunier. The size of the flag should be 120 x 180 cm.
I will publish this information on the FIIC’s Facebook page, but please pass it on to the members of your respective delegations that will come to France so we can be sure that everyone gets it. And do not hesitate to contact me or any other board member if you have any comment or question.
Looking forward to see you all in France for the celebration of our wonderful sport! 🙂
Best regards,

Martin Cloutier

Update on the 2013 FIIC World Cup‏

Dear friends,

Here’s a short message to inform you of the situation concerning this summer’s FIIC World Cup in France.

 

As you know the deadline for registration to the 2013 FIIC World Cup has expired last Thursday (Feb. 28th).

 

Four (4) teams have registered for the women’s WC: France, Czech Republic, Germany and Québec/Canada. Therefore we can confirm that the event will take place as planned.

 

However, following the announcement of non-participation from Slovakia, only five (5) teams have registered for the men’s WC: France, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy and Québec/Canada. Even if this doesn’t meet the minimum number of participants expected (6), we are presently evaluating the options to see if/how the event can take place anyway. A formal decision will be taken at the latest on March 15th.

 

I want to take the opportunity to thank you all for your collaboration in registering your national team(s) in due time. This is very appreciated from everyone who have been working hard in the past months to organize this summer’s events.

 

More information will be communicated soon.

 

Best regards,

Martin Cloutier
