2005 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour Fact Sheet - History

THE FIVB - The seeds of the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) were sown at a meeting in the GrafCoffee House in Prague when the Polish, French and (then) Czechoslovak Volleyball Federations discusseddeclarations of support from the Italian, Yugoslav, Romanian, and Belgian Federations suggesting an"autonomous Volleyball commission". Subsequently, the organization of a first Constitutive Congress wasentrusted to the President of the French Volleyball Federation, Paul Libaud, and it took place in Paris April 18-20, 1947 with the participation of 14 Federations. The FIVB was born! Libaud was elected first President ofthe FIVB shortly afterwards and the headquarters were established in Paris, where they remained for the first37 years until 1984. The first World Championships were organized in 1949 for men and in 1952 for womenand have since remained the biggest event in Volleyball. In 1957 the International Olympic Committee (IOC)included Volleyball as a medal sport in the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo while Beach Volleyball made itsOlympic debut at the 1996 Atlanta Games. A big turning point for the FIVB came in 1984 when PresidentLibaud, by then in his late 70's and highly acclaimed for having founded the Federation and making it asignificant reality on the world sports stage, resigned. Dr. Rubén Acosta Hernandez was elected newPresident to succeed him at the World Congress in Long Beach, California. The FIVB moved its headquartersto Lausanne, Switzerland the same year bringing it closer to the IOC. Very soon after Dr. Acosta becameVolleyball’s ambassador, promoting the sport in worldwide competitions held in the five Confederations (Asia,Africa, Europe, South America and Norceca).

BEACH VOLLEYBALL - Born in the depression days of the 1920s on the sandy beaches of Santa Monica,California, Beach Volleyball has become a multi million-dollar extravaganza and an Olympic sport that hascaptivated players in more than 90 countries. From those first matches, the game caught on 10 years later inFrance, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Latvia before slotting perfectly into the Californian lifestyle in the1950s and the pulsating 1960s, taking its place alongside surfing. The United States and Brazil played a majorrole in transforming "Beach" into a professional sport in the1970s and 1980s, but it was the hard work of theFIVB President Dr. Rubén Acosta and Beach Volleyball stars such as Sinjin Smith, Karch Kiraly and RandyStoklos that helped establish Beach Volleyball internationally in the 1980s and 1990s and become a full medalsport at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games. At the same time the FIVB Beach Volleyball International Circuitevolved from the World Series to the World Tour and exploded in popularity in Europe, Latin America and Asia.The 2004 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour boasted 27 major events encompassing Europe, Africa, Asia and theAmericas in an Olympic year with over US $5-million in prize money.

2005 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour Fact Sheet

SWATCH-FIVB World Tour - From 1989 when the first international Beach Volleyball Tour called the WorldSeries was unleashed in Rio de Janeiro, the circuit has undergone two name changes and a makeover tobecome a series of "dynamic" global sporting events each year. From the beginning in 1989 of three legs ofmen's competition in Brazil, Italy and Japan involving 40 athletes from seven countries, the international BeachVolleyball Tour introduced women's play three years later before the world-wide circuit was revitalized and theWorld Championship Series was born in 1995. At that point legs and prize money stood at 17 and US$2.4-million, respectively thus prompting the transformation into the now famous World Tour. The SWATCH-FIVBWorld Tour embraced 22 stops split between men and women in 2003 with over 700 athletes from more than50 countries and a record prize money pool nearing US$5-million, including Grand Slam stops in Berlin,Marseille, Klagenfurt and Los Angeles. The 2004 season featured 27 “major” tournaments (15 men and 12 women), with US$5.48-million in prize money, a three-leg Grand Slam (Berlin, Marseille and Klagenfurt), plusthe Athens 2004 Olympics Games where 24 men’s and 24 women’s teams competed for the gold medals won by Emanuel Rego/Ricardo Santos of Brazil and Misty May/Kerri Walsh of the United States.

OLYMPIC BEACH VOLLEYBALL - The SWATCH-FIVB World Tour during the 1992 and 1993 season was, ina way, the beginning of the sports’ Olympic era. After the 1992 Barcelona Games, a beach volleyball event was played in Almeria, Spain, as post-Olympic demonstration sport. In addition to being the first-ever women’s international event, the tournament was the first step in getting the sport entered in the Olympics. The UnitedStates won both men’s (Sinjin Smith/Randy Stoklos) and women’s (Karolyn Kirby/Nancy Reno) titles. In February, 1993, International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Juan Antonio Samarach, along with AtlantaCommittee Olympic Games President Billy Payne and other IOC members attended the FIVB Beach VolleyballFinals in Rio de Janeiro. There they saw the excitement that the sport could generate as over 140,000 fansjammed the stadium for the one week tournament. As a result, the most important event in the history ofbeach volleyball occurred on September 24, 1993. On that day, at the 101st IOC session in Monte Carlo, thesport of beach volleyball was admitted as a medal discipline for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta,Georgia. The sport had reached its Olympic era.

ECO FRIENDLY BEACH VOLLEYBALL! - The FIVB and Global Sports Alliance have joined forces for thethird year to help raise environment awareness through sport. The ecoflag symbolizes the commitment to theenvironment of sports-lovers and everyone who knows the importance and irreplaceable nature of the water,air and greenery that surrounds us. The SWATCH-FIVB World Tour event in Gstaad, Switzerland is settingthe example by players using bicycles for local transport in the picturesque alpine town! Hop, Step and Jumpto a better environment GSA's, approach to the environmental problem is unique and practical:

· First (Hop) is promoting awareness through the Ecoflag. "We can enjoy volleyball because of clean air and water,thus the environment. Let's make sure that we keep the environment clean for future generations."

· Except for the World Championships, each tournament for each gender features a single-elimination qualifier and a32-team double-elimination Main Draw.

· A team winning a rally scores a point - The Rally Point System.· The serving player must be alternated every time there is a change in possession.· There are NO determined positions on the court.· Two players can touch the ball at the same time, but when two team mates do, it counts as two hits (except if

SWATCH-FIVB World Tour Grand Slams

With four 2005 SWATCH-FIVB World Tour stops forming a “Grand Slam”, including the SWATCH-FIVB WorldChampionships in Berlin, a team from each gender will be attempting to become the first international tandemto accomplishing the feat of winning all four events. If a team in either gender does not win all four “Grand Slam” events, the team with the best four finishes will win the “Grand Slam” Trophy.

In 2004, for example, Franco Neto/Tande Ramos of Brazil and Annett Davis/Jenny Johnson Jordan of theUnited States were the top point-getters, for the men’s and women’s events, respectively, when combining the points from Berlin, Stavanger, Marseille and Klagenfurt. In fact, a semi-final win by Franco and Tande overChristoph Dieckmann and Andreas Scheuerpflug of Germany in Klagenfurt secured the projected 2004 “Grand Slam” points title for the Brazilians by eight pointsover Mariano Barcetti and Martin Conde of Argentina withthe Germans 30 points behind. This format requires that a team must play in all four “Grand Slam” events to qualify.

With Paris replacing Marseille as a “Grand Slam” stop, there has been five men’s seasons and two women’s seasons where events have been held in Berlin, Stavanger, Marseille (now Paris) and Klagenfurt. In reviewingpodium placements for these four sites where competition was held in the same season, there has never beena team that has won all four stops (Berlin, Stavanger, Paris and Klagenfurt) in a season. In fact, only one team(Ana Paula Connelly/Sandra Pires of Brazil in 2003) has ever won the first two-straight projected “Grand Slam” events in order. And only one team (Ana Paula/Pires) has ever claimed podium spots in all four events in oneseason (2003). Since 1987, only seven men’s teams (13 times) have won four or more events in a season. Since 1992, only five women’s teams (10 times) have won four or more events in a season.
