Part B Sports Meetings in Summer
The rules, game orders, and regulations
for team tournaments and competitions treated in this chapter apply to the sports
meetings for which all European Research Institutes have been invited. This includes
tournaments of individual kinds of sports as well as the ATOMIADEs.
B 1 ATOMIADE
Every three years, starting in 1973,
sports meetings of the European Research Institutes have been arranged with at
least ten kinds of sports offered simultaneously.
Such a sports meeting is named ATOMIADE.
The ATOMIADEs are numbered consecutively and are identified by the year of their
competition.
B 1.1 List
of Events within the Area of Vadility of an ATOMIADE
At least ten of the following
kinds of sports are to be offered at the ATOMIADEs:
- Football
- Volleyball
- Handball
- Athletics (Track and
Field)
- Tennis
- Table Tennis
- Chess
- Badminton
- Marathon or Semi Marathon
or 25km race
- Shooting
- Swimming
- Archery
- Cycling
- Basketball
- Surfing
- Sailing
- Golf
- Inline Skating
- Triathlon or Duathlon
The rules and game regulations for
the different kinds of sports within this Vademecum are mandatory for ATOMIADE's
as well.
B 1.2 Participants
For participation at an ATOMIADE
see chapter A 3.1 of this Vademecum.
Exceptions of these regulations are to be listed at the individual chapters
of the different kinds of sports.
B 1.3 Age Categories
- In single competitions
(athletics, swimming etc.) male and female athletes are divided into age categories.
This is equally effective for women and for men:
| |
Age category A:
Age category B:
Age category C:
Age category D:
Age category E: |
16 to 34 years
35 to 44 years
45 to 54 years
55 to 64 years
65 years and older |
An age category starts
with the beginning of the calendar year of the date of birth.
- If less than 4
participants (male or female) are entered for one age category, age categories
are put together and are also evaluated together. No more than two adjoining
age categories should, however, be combined.
Should further athletes be registered after the closing date fixed by the
organiser, the combined evaluation of age categories is still effective, except
the sports programme can easily be adjusted by the organiser.
- In case of putting two
age categories together, the next younger age category should be taken.
- If the number of 4 male
or female athletes is still not obtained although two age categories were
put together, this merged group will nevertheless be honoured with medals.
- The grouping is made
for each discipline for a kind of sport.
- Examples:
The following examples will explain, how the age categories
can be combined:
| |
Capital
letter means:
small letter means: |
minimum number
of athletes reached
minimum number of athletes not reached |

B 1.4 Award
Presentation to the Winners
The first three teams or
individual competitors of a sport discipline are honored with gold, silver and
bronze medals. The head of these medals show the emblem of the ATOMIADE, and
the reverse side should specify the event for which this medal is awarded.
Within the team competitions every participant of the team honored receives
a medal. In addition, cups may be awarded.
At the football tournament within the ATOMIADE, additional cups for the winner
as well as the Fair-Play Cup are to be presented.
B 1.5 Medal Table
If possible, a medal
table should be made for the entire meeting.
At team events (e.g. football) a place among the first three is counted as a
corresponding medal.
The ranking of the Research Institutes is defined as followes:
| |
a) |
The Research Institute
with the most gold medals is placed first. |
|
b) |
If two or more Research
Institutes have the same number of gold medals, the number of silver medals
is decisive. |
|
c) |
If two or more Research
Institutes have the same number of gold and silver medals, the number of
bronze medals is decisive. |
|
d) |
If there is still no
clear ranking, the Research Institutes with the same number of gold, silver,
and bronze medals are equally placed in alphabetical order of the abbreviations
of the Research Institutes. |
B 1.6 Team Evaluation
In each event cups may be
handed out for a team evaluation, if more than 3 Research Institutes participated
in this event. With events in which the contests consist of individual disciplines,
e.g. athletics or swimming, the team evaluation is effected in the medal table.
B 1.7 Institute Evaluation
| 1.
|
At each ATOMIADE an
overall classification is carried out to determine the best Research Institute.
Only those kinds of sports are to be classified in which 6 or more Research
Institutes have participated. For each event a score is given: the winning
team of an event receives a score of 6, the second team a score of 5 and
so on. |
| 2. |
If there are several
team tournaments in one type of sport (e.g. volleyball: men / mixed, table
tennis: hobby / club players) or if a Research Institute participates with
more than one team in a type of sport (e.g. cycling) the evaluation of the
Research Institutes for this type of sport will be as follows.
If there is a Research Institute participating out of competition, e.g.
it is not a member of ASCERI, this Research Institute is cancelled and all
following teams are placed one step higher.
For every tournament / competition in one type of sport, points will be
awarded according to the number of teams in this tournament / competition.
This number shall be N. Points will then be distributed as follows:
| |
N
+ 2
N
N - 1,7
N - 3
N - 4
•
•
1 |
points
for the 1. team
points for the 2. team
points for the 3. team
points for the 4. team
points for the 5. team
point for the last team |
|
|
The scores of all the
teams of one Research Institute will be added for one type of sport.
The ranking of the Research Institutes for this sport is regulated as below:
| a) |
The Research
Institute with the highest score will be placed on top of the ranking
list. The remaining places in the list will be allocated according
to the descending order of total institute scores. |
| b) |
In the event
of a tie, the Research Institute whose highest-ranked team achieved
the highest score will be awarded the better place in the ranking
list. |
| c) |
If still tied
(e.g. possible if there are several tournaments in one type of sport)
the Research Institute whose highest-ranked team achieved the highest
score in the tournament with the fewest teams will be awarded the
better place in the ranking list. |
| d) |
If still tied,
the Research Institutes concerned will be awarded the same rank. All
these Research Institutes will be awarded equal points. The
succeeding Research Institute(s) will then be awarded points in accordance
with their rank. Should these measures result in a situation where
Research Institutes with equal scores have not been included in the
ranking, an exception can be made which will allow the ranking list
to consist of more than 6 Research Institutes. |
|
| 3. |
The ranking and distribution
of points according to Article 1 is used for all types of sports that are
rated. |
| 4. |
The scores achieved
according to Article 1 and 2 will be summed up. The Research Institute with
the highest score receives the price for best institute. |
| 5. |
Should there be a tie
of 2 or more Research Institutes the order is regulated as following:
| a) |
The centre with
the most highest score of each kind of sport will be placed better,
if there is an equality with this scores the centre with the most
second highest score will be placed better etc. |
| b) |
If there is still
no ranking this centre is placed better which participated at the
most kinds of sports. |
| c) |
If after this
no order is perceptible these centres will be placed at the alphabetical
order of their abbreviations. |
