International Baseball Federation international baseball governing body

The International Baseball Federation is the former worldwide governing body recognized by the International Olympic Committee as overseeing, deciding and executing the policy of the sport of baseball. The IBAF has since become the international baseball "Division" of the World Baseball Softball Confederation, the officially recognized world governing body for baseball. One of its principal responsibilities under the WBSC is to organize, standardize and sanction international competitions among baseball's 124 national governing bodies through its various tournaments to determine a world champion and calculate world rankings for both men's and women's baseball. Prior to the establishment of the WBSC, which has since superseded its authority, the IBAF had been the lone entity that can assign the title of "world champion" to any baseball team delegated to represent a nation. Its offices are housed within the WBSC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland—the Olympic Capital.

Pim Mulier Dutch athlete and speed skater

Willem Johan Herman Mulier, known as Pim Mulier was one of the leading figures in sporting history of the Netherlands.

Teams

Due to difficult economic times, the organisation had to decide not to invite reigning champions Cuba. [3] This was announced after the first four teams (Chinese Taipei, Japan, Netherlands, United States) had already signed their contracts. [4] Other teams had also canceled their participation for various reasons, including the inability to send an up-to-par team. As a result, only four teams competed in this tournament instead of the usual six. [5]
