The contact is built and then we decide about support and guide them how to start organising their own federation and forming a clubs.

IFF is looking for partners IFF needs partners to be able to develop the sport further and faster The IFF strives to have the following sponsors: Title sponsor (1) Main sponsors (2) Partners (3) Material sponsors (6) IFF has made an agreement with Infront Nordic, who are to sell sponsor packages for IFF Infront own all the IFF marketing rights, which means that we need to focus more on how our competitions look in the future. IFF Marketing Strategy IFF has signed deals with a Floorball Material Sponsors EXEL, so that we have the same look and feel for all our events. Gerflor is our Flooring sponsor, which makes it possible to play the events of the same floor in the main arenas Puma is our Apparel sponsor, giving the outfit for the referees and the IFF. We are striving to close 4-6 agreements during the next 12 months, starting from the top, We are looking for bigger sponsors up until 2008. We will include a waiver in the agreements to buy out any parts of lower agreement to secure bigger entities. Title Sponsor Main Sponsors Maximum of 2 Partners Maximum of 3 Material Sponsors Maximum of 6 (floor, floorball equipment, clothes, hotel, airliner, bank)

Bringing the Marketing work further Selling sponsorship packages for the IFF is no easy task, since the product is so fragmented, with different events in different countries The discussion is now if we need to start building event based sponsoring or change the system of the deviation of marketing rights between the organiser and IFF TV plays a central role in the sales potential of Floorball, without TV coverage the product has no value. During the last year the TV strategy has been to have TV from the major events, like the Senior WFC s and the European/EuroFloorball Cup Final round. Here we need to start working more closely together in order to have the production The target must be to spread the signal and not earn money on it The media is fragmenting even more in the future and a new sport on the market needs to follow the situation The cooperation with Eurosport is essential, since we are usually only able to open the doors of the bigger floorball markets.

The registrations must be in time, the organiser needs to have enough time to prepare for the event and if qualifications are needed, they needs to be organised as well The participating teams need to include an Anti Doping contact person on the registration form. Provide the First and Final list of players in time, in order for us to be able to support the organiser Membership fee To be paid the last of April each year The calculation is based on the highest number of players from the previous season Please give the real information of players we need it for also other things

Duties and Rights of the IFF Members Important issues for the IFF: Provide Contact and Statistical Information (27/39) In order to support you we need the contact information also specified by the different fields of activity by end of August. Floorball is growing and we need to show this to the World. Give us the number of players in your series and leagues and the number of recreational players. Keep the dead-lines We spend a lot of excess time in reminding and asking for things Please inform us if you won t be able to do something in time at least we know then that you are aware of the issue. Give us News for the Internet If you give us news, we will include it on the IFF web-page It is sometimes funny to read about our members on other sites, without receiving it ourselves. Duties and Rights of the IFF Members Important issues for the IFF: Major changes in Competitions that needs actions from the Associations In order to have more organisers, IFF is trying to help the organiser by for example providing the needed material for playing the matches. To give the organiser bigger possibilities to sell tickets, the teams which are not any more playing in the competition will have to purchase tickets for the final days. When a club from your country participates in a tournament abroad with teams from the highest division in more than two countries, the team needs to be sanctioned by your Association. Use the IFF materials and support IFF has built a Statistical Program for IFF Events, which works on our web-site We have a Photo bank from where you can use the pictures for your own work. Educational materials: Start-up kit, Coaching materials, DVD s and others IFF Information IFF sends out Information Letters four times a year, which is a collection of the news The IFF Office will send out the CB decisions to the Associations after the meeting.

Duties and Rights of the IFF Members Discussion The New IFF Calendar starting 1.1. 2008 The International Competition Calendar has changed starting from January 2008, in order to maximise the value of the competitions for its Member Association s It has been established that from a sporting perspective, due to the early finish of the relevant national championships, a restarting of the Floorball movement (players, coaches, associations, spectators and media) was necessary with the Adult s WFC in May. The WFC is always squeezed between Ice Hockey, Football and Olympic games every second year, which are binding huge resources in media and sponsoring thus making it difficult for Floorball to be included in the respective planning. The reasons for chancing the Adult s WFC are based on the need to: include the competition more as a part of the season, to have more media coverage of the events and using it in marketing both before and after the event.

IFF Anti- Doping Work IFF has signed the WADA Charta 2003 and renewed its Anti-Doping Regulations to fully comply with the World Anti-Doping Code and the requirements of the Olympic movement in 2006. In order to meet the requirements of WADA, the IFF is dependent on the assist from its Member Associations. No banned drugs or medical substances are allowed in Floorball. During the last year there have been positive results in doping tests for Floorball players. IFF Anti- Doping Work IFF will test at least one player per team in every international IFF event (WFC, WFC U19, EFC). Each Association needs a clear anti-doping program in order to fulfil the requirements for sponsors, national support etc.

IFF Medical Committee IFF now has a Medical Committee with 1+4 members: Chair: Mr. Walter O. Frey (Switzerland) Vice Chair: Ms. Tiina Nylander (Finland) Ms. Pernille Opstrup (Denmark) Mr. Lars Erik Bartels (Denmark) Mr. Thor Halse (Sweden) Therapeutic Use Exemptions Floorball players, like all others, may have illnesses or conditions that require them to take particular medications. If the medication happens to fall under the Prohibited List, a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) may give that player the authorization to take the needed medicine. A TUE granted by a NADO does not have an international validity, which means that the player has to submit a new request (or the same application he/she sent to NADO) in English to the IFF is he/she becomes an international level player (IFF Testing Pool).

What is the difference between an Abbreviated TUE and a Standard TUE? Abbreviated TUE/ATUE: Only for glucocorticosteroids by nonsystemic routes (local routes of administration other than dermatological applications which are not prohibited and do not require any TUE) and for beta-2 agonists (formoterol, salbutamol, salmeterol and terbutaline) by inhalation. Using the Abbreviated TUE Form. A notification is sent to the athlete by the relevant organization upon receipt of a duly completed request. Athlete can begin treatment as soon as the form has been received by the relevant organization. Standard TUE: For any treatment involving a substance or method on the Prohibited List that is not admissible for an abbreviated TUE. Using the Standard TUE Form. Will be reviewed by the IFF Medical Committee. If approved, athlete can begin treatment only after receiving the authorization notice from the relevant organization (except in rare cases of an acute life threatening condition for which a retroactive approval may be considered). How to apply for a TUE? The process for a player to apply for a TUE is fairly simple. Each player must: 1. Download the right TUE Form, the Abbreviated TUE Form or the Standard TUE Form in English. These forms are found on the IFF webpage www.floorball.org under Anti-doping and Materials. 2. Have his or her physician to fill out the TUE Application form and produce the required supporting documentation and forward it to the IFF. Players should remember that according to the International Standards, the TUE Application should be submitted at least 21 days before participating in an event.

Whereabouts, IFF Testing Pool The IFF:s Registered Testing Pool of international level players from the top eight teams in both men and women, according to the world ranking, are required to provide up-to-date whereabouts information to the IFF. The National Association of the teams who are in the IFF Registered Testing Pool shall annually (the 30th of September) submit a list of the relevant team (top 30 players/team) and a list containing all training courses and test matches (date, location etc.) to the IFF. Any change in the location dates shall be submitted immediately to the IFF. Each National Association shall also assist their National Anti- Doping Organisation in establishing a national Registered Testing Pool.

4. IFs WADA Symposium Review of the World Anti-Doping Code The sanctions for Doping offences are tougher but yet more flexible. For major offences there can be up to four years ineligibility, but also substantial assistance can for example reduce the period to one year. The Disqualifications in team sports will still be harmonised. The final draft of the Code will be sent to all stakeholders in November 2007. All the IFs are to implement the new Code 31st of December 2008. IOC Recognition Process and Application IFF will during 2007 apply for the recognition of the IOC, in order to enhance the status of Floorball world-wide In order to be able to fulfil this application, we need to collect an amount of information about Floorball. The following information is needed: Definition of the Sport History of the Sport IF Structure Anti-Doping CAS Members Competitions Fair Play Web Finance Development

IOC Recognition Process and Application There is a lot of information that we need from the federations. This will be made in September Yearly Statistics (players, recreational) National Championships Number of Teams Gender and Age Groups Anti-Doping Tests Monitoring of Athletes Health Web traffic (unique users and visitors) NOC Approvement or Sport Confederation Approvement Spectators from WFC 2004 2007 Please help us out here. IFF Statistical program The IFF now has invested in a statistical program that was tested for the first time in the U19 WFC Qualification in Slovakia and now during the WFC 2007. The aim is to have all the statistics from the IFF events gathered in one place. All the IFF member associations are recommended to use this new program when they are organising IFF championships.
