Confederation of European Baseball
Presidential Report
Dear friends in Baseball,
The main event of Europe’s 2010 season has been the Senior Championship in
Germany end of July. The hosts tried to follow up the great interest in the game and
positive impact the World Cup 2009 created in Regensburg. Unfortunately the event
was badly affected by the rainy weather that caused many rain delays and postponed
games. But despite the rainy weather the event was a big success, drawing a total of
almost 30.000 spectators, with the final game played in front of a crowd of 3.300
visitors. CEB partly financed the TV broadcasting and therewith cared for a Europewide coverage through Eurosport2 while RAI, NOS and ZDF broadcasted whole
games or at least highlights of games in Italy, the Netherlands and Germany.
CEB’s financial situation is stable especially, but not only, through our efforts to
reduce costs, and save money. CEB events are working well, and the Frankfurt
Office has become the Heart of the Organization. In the medium-term, CEB has to
make sure that it becomes (financially) independent from other organizations.
Therefore we have to restructure and find new sources of income. The EURO 2012
in the Netherlands should become the first tournament used by CEB to really market
our sport in Europe. The Marketing and PR&Media Commission will have to work
hard to find sponsors and achieve Europe-wide media coverage, but it will be
worthwhile to give our sport a better position.
One of our future goals should be to ensure that Baseball and Softball forces begin to
work together again. Last year’s decision to eliminate Baseball and Softball from the
Olympic Program has been a big disappointment for all of us and we do need to
share efforts and demonstrate unity, now. The first step would be shared Congresses
starting 2013. Next to that the ESF and CEB need to better match their tournament
schedules and avoid overlaps. Combined development efforts and common school
programs are already established in some countries and have to be increased
Europe-wide. Talks have already started and both parties are very positive about
future projects.
In 2010 Europe got a new “star” in the Major Leagues. 22-year-old Dutch National
Team player Kenley Jansen made his successful MLB debut for the Los Angeles
Dodgers in July. The Confederation of European Baseball wants to acknowledge the
successful development of baseball in the Netherlands and is very proud to have
(another) European baseball player in the Big Leagues giving our young talents in
Europe a vision. Europeans in the top leagues of professional baseball will have a
big impact of growing the game in our continent – this has been shown by several
other sports such as basketball.
I should not forget to especially mention and congratulate the winners of the 2010
season: the Netherlands & Italy, finishing 2nd and 3rd rank at the Intercontinental Cup
in Taichung and 6th and 8th rank at the Juniors World Cup in Thunder Bay.
Congratulations also to the new European Champion Italy who beat the Netherlands
6
Yearbook 2010
8:4 in the final game. Germany ended on a very well 3rd rank – the highest
achievement since 1975! Likewise many other federations showed very positive
results in developing new prospects, who took or will be taking their chances in the
US or other professional organizations.
Unfortunately European Baseball lost a good friend this year when Rinus
Paardekooper passed away. Rinus devoted more than 45 years of service to the
Netherlands Baseball and Softball Federation and the European baseball and softball
family. He was active in various facets of the organization as a leader and as a
pioneer in developing both Baseball and Softball throughout Europe. On behalf of the
Confederation of European Baseball, I would like to express my sincere condolences
to his family and friends.
Last but not least many thanks to my board, the commissions, and all the helping
hands in the background. Special thanks also to all the hosts of our CEB
competitions. Let’s keep up the good work!
Martin Miller
President CEB

Development Commission Report
Report on development activities 2010
The Development Commission is the operational organ of the CEB Board for
development activities in Europe. The Commission consists of Mats Fransson,
Sweden, Chairman, Monique Schmitt, Switzerland, Attila Borbely, Hungary, Juan S.
Garcia, Spain, Rainer Husty, Austria all members of the CEB board, and Charles van
der Meijs, the Netherlands, secretary.
Change in the financial situation
During the year the financial situation has changed due to IBAFs lack of resources.
This made it necessary for us to cancel a few support activities for example special
requests and the Major League Baseball Road Show.
Regional divisions/contact persons
The European countries are divided between the members of the Development
Commission. The purpose is to have a proactive contact with the member federations
and catch up with the needs and the proposals that the different federations have
within development of baseball in their countries and regions.
The division of the countries has mainly been used for the regional meeting at the
Congress.

Workshops at the CEB Congress
The Development Commission has the responsibility to organize workshops at the
CEB Congress. The workshops have been the contact point between CEB and the
member federations with the intent to communicate their plans and have the member
federations give their proposals and requests to the committees for different
activities. The regional meetings are lead by the person responsible for the
respective region.
New strategic plan
With the fact that the resources are limited and taken into consideration that the
workshop about development 2010 wanted a more strategic focus at certain areas,
the DC has decided to work out a new proposal for the future work.
The ideas will be part of the discussions and a workshop at the Congress 2011.
The idea is mainly to, through a questionnaire and discussions with the different
member countries put together a program for each country or groups of countries
with the same interest and needs.
The questionnaire will show the development status of each country and be the base
for the future work.
Little League
Little League tournaments have been arranged in Europe. The Development
Commission is responsible for the contacts with Little League together with the
Secretary General. One meeting with Little League representatives have been
arranged during 2010 and Monique Schmitt was the CEB Representative at the Little

Competitions 2010
This year C.E.B. was faced with the withdrawal of the Ukrainian teams for the Cadet
Qualifier in Sweden and the Juveniles Championship in the Czech Republic.
The withdrawal was done less than two weeks before the events.
The Technical Commission noted that the rules on registration of the player’s lists
(PTR and FTR) and the foreigner rules were very well obeyed by the Federations and
Clubs. Also the Insurance declaration (Affidavit) which was installed in 2010 worked
out smoothly.
The field requirements for the main C.E.B. competitions are set on a higher level.

atmosphere. Together with the co-operation of the teams it was possible to play the
12

whole Championship. In spite of the weather the spectators were coming to the three

On behalf of the Technical Commission,
Jan Esselman, Chairman
Annual Report 2010 of the C.E.B. Scoring Commission
The commission, being Anna Maria Paini (ITA), Linda Steijger (NED) and Pablo
Carpio (ESP) continued their work on exploring Europe with clinics. Not only on
scoring (like e.g. in Switzerland), but also on using the live play-by-play software of
the TAS program (like in Belgium). With this program the game is put into the
computer simultaneously when it is played. By doing this the game is live
broadcasted in the internet and can be followed all over the world. On the other hand
statistics are ready immediately after the game.
We are happy to say that all CEB tournaments 2010 were covered not only by
scoring, but also by using this program. With the most important tournaments like the
Euro 2010 in Stuttgart there were so many spectators on the internet, that sometimes
the server had hard times handling all the internet traffic.
In the meantime the commission has been working on the scoring manual. This
manual is used in CEB as well in IBAF; we contact our colleague scorers around the
world about some interpretation of the rules.
The Commission worked on the manual for the TAS program, both for the Data Entry
(during the game) as for the Central Operator (after the game, making the daily
14
Yearbook 2010
reports). As from 2011 we hope that the manuals are ready on the C.E.B. website so
that every member Federation can use it to instruct their own people and use the
program in their own country.
On behalf of the Scorer Commission
Anna Maria Paini, Chairwomen
Annual Report 2010 of the C.E.B. Umpire Commission
In Stuttgart, in advance of the congress, the Umpire Commission was installed.
o Paul Bokern (NED)
- Chairman
o Roberto Leone (ITA)
- Member
o Javier Menendez (ESP). - Member
The items for 2010 were:
o Evaluating system,
o Classification of the umpires,
o Manuals for 2 and 3 men.
At this moment most things above mentioned are realized.
Evaluating system
During the European Championships in Stuttgart the T.C appointed Paul Bokern as
an umpire commissioner. In advance of the tournament there was an umpire
meeting and the intention was during the tournament to have two more meetings.
The rain caused much delays and rescheduling of games was the result. All time
was needed for playing the games. After the games there were evaluations
together with the umpires. The new umpire evaluation form was used and
evaluated.
Umpire instructors or technical commissioners who are ”old” umpires shall be
appointed by the Technical Commission as a T.C member during de C.E.B.
competitions in 2011. So umpires get more attention in C.E.B. events and
evaluations and reports get a higher level.
Classification of the umpires
With the Technical Commission all the C.E.B. umpires on de 2011 list were
classified in three groups. The groups are:
AAA:
AA :
A
:
Experience in CEB events for at least two years;
can be invited for all CEB events.
Experience in CEB events for at least two years;
can be invited for all CEB events, exclusive Euro Cup; Final 4 and
European Championships Seniors
Nominated (new) international umpires;
can be invited for all CEB events exclusive Euro Cup; Final 4 and
European Championships Seniors
In 2011 we will continue and try to improve these classifications.
15
Confederation of European Baseball
Mechanics
In many of the C.E.B. countries the umpires are working with a 2 or 3 men system.
There are some differences between the countries. It is not possible to make one
system with all that differences.
The commission tried to make one system to be used in Europe. The systems
shall be published in 2011. Evaluation is also planned for that year
The MLB DVD “virtual umpire camp” is a good way of instructing umpires.
Founding’s are arranged so we hope to supply this DVD to all C.E.B. umpires
before the 2011 season.
Clinics
Last year we were asked 4 times for sending an umpire instructor.
Ljubljana (SLO) April 9-11
instructor Marco Taurelli (ITA)
14 participants
Moscow (RUS) April 16-18 instructor Henk van de Linde (NED)
Stavanger (NOR) April 16-18 instructor Tony Jones (FIN)
The umpire clinics scheduled for Moscow and Stavanger were cancelled due to the
Icelandic volcano eruption.
Malta (MAL)
Nov 6-8
instructor Yuri Macchiavelli (ITA) 12 participants
Prague (CZE)
April 6-11th Instructor Jim Evans. This clinic was sponsored by
CEB.
On behalf of the Umpire Commission

Yearbook 2010
Coaches & Game Development Commission Report
The Coaches Commission concluded its 'clinic content manual' after presenting the
concept at the annual congress in Stuttgart. Although the program was well received
by the member countries, the commission has not received any requests to host or
co-host a coaches clinic in 2010.
After the final version of the manual had been completed, selected parts were
published on the CEB website and hereby available to all member countries.
Due to the addition of Pat Doyle as an ex-officio member to the commission, a
valuable representative of MLB has been consulting the commission since April
2010.
Besides completing all administrational responsibilities, members of the coaches
commission have also attended MLBI European academy tryouts, the MLB European
academy, the EBCA convention and several CEB tournaments to exchange with
coaches and MLBI personnel.
For 2011, it is planned to create a website specifically designed for coaches of the
CEB member countries. This website will include free information and documentation
concerning all coaching affairs, i.e. training manuals and schedules, but also inform
about coaches clinics held all over Europe.

Confederation of European Baseball
Marketing Commission Report
Unfortunately, the Marketing Commission has had a difficult year, first
losing our chairman and now being reduced to one member. I am actively
looking for additional members to help assist with the Marketing Commissions
vast tasks and responsibilities.
Despite the setbacks, there were a number of achievements:
- The Official Baseball Tender was finalized, together with the Legal
Commission. It is still awaiting some last minute approvals, but will be
sent to potential manufacturers shortly. This tender should cover all the
CEB tournaments and will provide CEB with a little seed money to market and
promote additional events, as well as provide the federations with less
expensive balls.
- Logo contest was successful held. The winning entry was chosen (Fausto
Nardi of Italy) and will now be the new logo to accompany all CEB European
championship tournaments.
- A new contract, explicitly detailing the responsibilities of the host
countries, as well as CEB, is being developed for the European Championship
Tournament. This contract as well should establish CEB as a more relevant
player in the tournaments, being more involved with the TV coverage, press
coverage, concessions, etc.
- Extensive TV and press coverage was provided at the European Championships
in Germany this past summer. This was the first successful attempt to have
CEB organize this coverage and many lessons were learned for future
competitions. All in all, the exposure of baseball throughout Europe was
widespread, through both broadcast and internet TV, and will be expanded
even further next year.

During 2010 the MEDIA COMMISSION dedicated almost entirely its energy to CEB
events coverage on television.
The EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP played in Stuttgart had a total 8 games produced
and broadcasted by RAI in Italy (5 games), NOS in The Netherlands (2 games) and
EUROSPORT all over Europe on Eurosport 2 (all of the 8 games).
THE EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP for Clubs (FINAL FOUR) was produced and
webcasted by the French web Television STADEO.
The year started for the MEDIA COMMISSION with a workshop during the 2010
Congress in Stuttgart about the relations with the MEDIA in the various Federations.
For 2011 the COMMISSION would recommend:
1) A meeting (at the Congress in Brussels) with all the people who work in media
relations for the Federations
2) A budget to make sure that at least some games of the 2 qualifying rounds and the
Final Four of the European Championship for Clubs are produced and offered on the
market place to broadcasters
3) Start working on the TV coverage of the 2012 European Championship. This
would mean, at least, make contact with the local organizers
