Scottish Open Boccia Championships Saturday 8 October 2016 ENGAGE, Napier University, Edinburgh 1
INTRODUCTION Welcome to the 2016 National Boccia Open at Engage Centre, Napier University. Following the restructuring of the Boccia calendar in 2014 there are now many more quality competitive opportunities for our Boccia players in Scotland alongside an opportunity for increased match-time at these events. It is gratifying to see a large entry again in this event certainly validates the restructuring process. Boccia is clearly a sport which a wide demographic people enjoy playing and competing in and SDS feel it is important to ensure the competition pathway in this sport remains accessible for all players. We are delighted to see that all of 2015 s champions return to defend their titles. A huge thanks must go to Disability Sport for hosting this event. A lot of work has been done in the region to progress Boccia and the fact they are hosting this national event is testament to the efforts of the many volunteers and staff from across the country that have helped with the event in terms of laying courts, officiating and supporting players to attend. The standard of play across Scotland has gone from strength to strength and has certainly benefited from the increased number of players taking part at local level. With all four BISFed classifications represented in Rio and Scottish players making up 60% of the GB squad Scotland is in a strong position at the highest level. However, significant work still needs to be done at the identification and development stage to ensure the sport continues to flourish in the years to come. On behalf of Scottish Disability Sport and Disability Sport, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all players, clubs and teams every success in the competition.

Competition format Where a round robin format is played a player will be allocated 2 points for a victory. If two or more players finish the group session on the same number of points then point difference across matches will be taken into account. Class A: Class A will exist as two groups and players will play a round robin competition. The top 2 will contest a final whilst the second-placed finishers will contest the Bronze medal match. Class B: Class B will be split into two sections (one male section and one female section) and players will play a round robin competition in 4 groups. Following the round robin the top player in each group will contest the semi-finals. The winners of each semi final will play a final with the runners up playing for the bronze medal. Class D: Class D will be a round robin draw with 2 groups. Group winners and runners up will contest semi-finals followed by a final. Appeals Any appeals should be made by team managers or coaches in writing and will be considered by an appeals panel of three people. Time Limits Due to the volume of games the matches in Class A will be subject to a 30 minute time limit and all other classes will be subject to a 15 minute time limit for each match which will include a warm-up for all entrants first matches.
