CMSB unifying around the candidacy
The same sport,
Several disciplines,
one single candidacy.
The Confédération Mondiale des Sports de Boules (CMSB) is the international organization, recognized by the International Olympic Committee, which governs the sport of the boules.
The CMSB – Confédération Mondiale des Sports de Boules – was created (on 21 December 1985 in Monaco) by three international boules organizations:
> CBI Confederazione Boccistica Internazionale (Raffa bocce)
> FIB Fédération Internationale de Boules (Sport-boules)
> FIPJP Fédération Internationale de Pétanque et Jeu Provençal (Pétanque and Jeu Provençal)
For the purpose of lobbying the Olympic committee to make boules sports part of the summer Olympics. World Bowls (bowls) has also become a member.
Boules and the CMSB were granted consideration for entry to the Olympic Games on 15 October, but have never been granted the status of an official Olympic sport. Nevertheless, every year the CMSB continues to re-present its application.
The CMSB is a sports federation recognized by the following confederations.
International Olympic Committee (IOC)
Association of the IOC Recognised International Sports Federations (ARISF)
SportAccord
International World Games Association (IWGA)
Our disciplines
Petanque is played on every type of ground. The aim of the game is to get your boules as close to the jack as possible. It is possible to shoot or hit the opponent’s boule both directly, without touching the ground or by rolling a boule along the ground to hit the target boule.
The player has to play his game standing with both feet on the ground inside a circle. There also exists a special competition of Precision Shooting.
The bowls used must rigorously follow the protocol set out by the F.I.B, which is included in the Regulations relating to the approval and conformity check of the bowls.
They can be completely hollow or filled. In the latter case the bowls must be filled with a substance or homogeneous mixture of inert substances. They must not contain any liquids, nor any compositions which could become unstable (gas) and could be dangerous.
The filling of the bowls must be statically balanced and that balance must be maintained after the bowls have been used.
The raffa or the roundup is a sport practiced with plastic balls. This sport usually practiced on the clay or carpet is part of Italy. Since the International Federation CBI over 50 countries within it.
This sport very close to of petanque and Lyonnaise Bowls based on concentartion, address and strategy. Like all sports balls its members are fighting the same battle to be recognized Olympic sport.
