Technical Delegate – Technical Delegate –
Badminton Badminton

Dear Badminton players, Dear students and athletes,

Dear Oicials and Volunteers,
Badminton is an integral part of the
EUSA sports program since 2004 and
ofers the only combined Men and
Women`s Team Event.
Since 2004, ten European Universi-
ties Badminton Championships have
been organized throughout Europe. In
addition, Badminton being a compul-
sory sport within the sports program
of the EUGames, this is in Croatia, the
third edition of the EUGames Badmin-
ton Tournament.
This is the irst time that the maxi-
mum number of 24 participating teams
is reached and I am sure that you will
all enjoy this event which is giving you
Isabelle Jobard
the opportunity to meet and share
Technical Delegate Badminton
experiences with players from 17 eu-
ropean countries. I hope to see many
Eric Ligtvoet high quality matches played with fair
Assistant Technical Delegate play and showing good sportsmanship.
Badminton I wish to all a very succesful Bad-
minton tournament which will make
the EUGames in Zagreb a memorable
event for all participants.
Good Luck!
First of all, I would like to welcome
you and to wish you a nice stay in
Zagreb. The Games will welcome
more than 5.700 participants
composing almost 900 teams,
representing more than 400
European universities. In badminton
there will be participating 22
teams. According to these facts
these Games are the largest in
terms of the number of sports
disciplines and competitors.
Zagreb is the capital and the
largest city of the Republic of
Croatia. Zagreb is the most
important transport hub in
Croatia where Central Europe,
Zeljko Miskulin
the Mediterranean and Southeast
Europe meet, making the Zagreb
area the centre of the road, rail and
air networks of Croatia. It is a city
known for its diverse economy,
high quality of living, museums,
sporting and entertainment events.
The students will enjoy a full

10 • EUG 2016 TECHNICAL HANDBOOK BADMINTON • 11


program of social activities that
will help them to get to know each
other on a personal level and form
friendships. The Games will prove
once again the power of Sport
in bringing together people from
diferent nationalities and religions
enable them all to spend quality
time breaking down barriers. I
would like to encourage students
and boost their competitive and
team spirit. Also I want to thank
students and professors, after
they return home, on promotion
of Croatia and Zagreb and convey
their impressions outside Croatia.
12 • EUG 2016 TECHNICAL HANDBOOK
Also I would like to use
this opportunity to express
our appreciation and pride of
working all together. Thanks to
mutual cooperation of member
associations, universities, event
organizers, athletes, volunteers,
partner organizations and all
EUSA friends, the European
university sport is thriving.
Once again I wish all the students
and professors all the best, a lot
of sports successes and fair play.
Fair play
Fair play is deeply embedded in the
values of EUSA. The objective of
promotion and encouragement of
Fair Play is set already in the statutes
of EUSA, as part of the core objecti-
ves of the organisation. Partnership
with the European Fair Play Move-
ment in 2013 proves this even more.
Since 2007, EUSA announces the best
gesture of fair play in its sports event
for the current year and awards the
winners the special fair play reco-
gnition, Enno Harms Fair Play Award,
named after the irst EUSA President,
very much devoted to fair play.
During each of the EUSA sporting
event, the organisers, EUSA repre-
sentatives and technical delegates
pay special attention to the fair play
gestures and attitude. At every sports
event a part of the protocol is the
oath of the athletes and oicials,
which includes respecting fair-play.
In some team sports, the athletes
demonstrating fair play during the
matches, following the rules and
pursuing a “clean” game are awarded
with a fair play recognition already
during the event. The prestigious
annual EUSA Enno Harms Fair Play
Award, though, is awarded to the
best example of fair play, for the
individual’s or team’s mentality and
actions which stand out the most.
EUSA Executive Committee mem-
bers on its last meeting in a year
discuss the proposals received from
all sporting events governed by EUSA
in that year and select the team or
individual to receive the annual fair
play award which is formally han-
ded to them at a special occasion
– usually at an EUSA Gala event.

Anti-Doping
Policy
Doping is not a guarantee of success
in sport. In fact, its efect is usually the
opposite. A lot of elite sportsmen and
sportswomen who did doping got
caught. As a result, they lost pride and
were banned for at least 2 years from
participating in a sport they loved and
lived for. An even bigger problem of
doping are the efects on the body.
In elite sports, doping is deined
as a violation of one or more
anti-doping rules:
1 Presence of a prohibited
substance in an athlete’s sample
2 Use or attempted use of a
prohibited substance or method
3 Refusing to submit sample
collection after being notiied
4 Failure to ile athlete whereabouts
information & missed tests
5 Tampering with any part of
the doping control process
6 Possession of a prohibited
substance or method
14 • EUG 2016 TECHNICAL HANDBOOK
7 Traicking a prohibited
substance or method
8 Administering or attempting to
administer a prohibited substance
or method to an athlete
You can ind the list of prohibited
substances and methods on the in-
ternet. It’s updated every year by the
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)
and it’s valid for every sport. You
should check every substance you are
taking. Athletes need to completely
avoid steroids, erythropoietin (EPO),
stimulants, human growth hormo-
ne (HGH), marijuana and narcotics,
and pay special attention also to
dietary or nutritional supplements.
EUSA is active in Anti-Doping
promotion, and has been a partner in
the European Anti-Doping Initiative
(EADI), project aimed at establishing

tality in the youth sector by establis-
