Thanks for your Opinion.

I understand what you want to say.
I agree our boccia should be more speedy and dynamic sport for spectators.
So I assent the reduction of time limit in Throwing event.
but BC3 event is a special Event in Boccia. BC3 athletes have the most severe form of physical disability across all disability sports. BC3 athletes need a difficult process to throw a  ball.

Spectators are sometime excited about dynamic movement, but sometime are impressed by the challenge of the severe disabled like BC3 athlete.

I am so sorry for the process of this Rule change.
Why did BISFed omit the process of discussing about new rule.
Did BISFed already know many athletes and coaches would 'resist' the reduction of time limit? I hope not, but I cannot help suspecting that BISFed didn't include the rule about time limit in new Boccia Rule draft deliverately, and added the reduction of time limit in final version.

I think this is not entirely democratic. Even though the intension of BISFed is right, but BISFed should have taken the time to discuss with others.

And I would like to say to you. This petition is not a "resistance"

It is just a "democratic expression" because there was no 'democratic means' in the change of Boccia rule.

And I wonder why you referre to CP and Non-CP.
It is not a problem of CP or non-CP, it is a serious Problem to 'All Boccia Athletes'.

I agree with the idea that we should continue to evolve the sport and always try to make it more attractive to the general public.
Yet I know from experience that the public find the BC3 class already spectacular because the ramp, severity of disability, the current level and the corresponding spectacle.

When we observe BC3-competitions (individual and pair), it quickly leads to the conclusion that most athletes need the current need time to play their 6 balls in combination with an acceptable level as
both individually and pair.

It is true that in some other classes have more time effective. Fot instance in the BC4 class, without wanting to attack them, the have time to drink, to take a relax-moment during their time, to discuss during the games.
However, this is not so in the BC3-class

What use is playing faster when it is detriment to the level?


The current time limit is good for BC3-athletes and when something is good you also must dare to preserve something.

Contrast, a time limit for the Jack and the penalty is a positive change.
