14 MAIN ROUND 14

15 3. ACCREDITATIONS General Information: An accreditation is a working tool and will only be issued to people having an on-site working role during the event. An accreditation request will only be accepted if submitted through the dedicated link. Accreditations are valid for all venues throughout the entire event. You are required to bring the official document, which you have submitted with your accreditation request, with you. We kindly ask you to pick up your accreditation at the arrival venue which you have indicated during your accreditation submission process. Should you lose your accreditation, you are requested to contact IHF and/or the LOC accreditation department immediately. Penalty may apply. You must wear your accreditation all the time so that security guards can see it easily. An accreditation is a personal item and may not be transferred. They will be cancelled and removed immediately from their bearers if they don t use them appropriately. RHs have to registered with the link : Accreditation Zones: 1 Field of Play (FOP) 2 Dressing rooms / Lockers 3 Media Area 4 Broadcast Area 5 Operations Area 6 Volunteers Area 7 VIP IHF Area 8 LOC IHF Area Each competition venue is divided into zones. Zone N 3 Media Area is dedicated to the following area: Media Center Press Conference Room Mixed zone 15

16 Zone N 4 Broadcast Area is dedicated to the following area: Commentary positions TV Studios TV Compound HB teams will have access to 1-5 RHs will have access 3 and 4 Some blank upgrade badges for the areas 1 and 2 will be available if needed for RHs.

17 Accreditation without name : LOC accreditation department and security department gave their agreement for 5 accreditations without name to help our Right Holders when they have last minutes guests in their program. IHF will give those badges to our BVMs in each arena before the first match day. These not personalized "guest" accreditations will be used in case of in case of extreme recourse and for very short guests arrivals requests. Pro TV is fully responsible for actions and activities while being in the arena with such accreditation. In a worst case or after misuse the LOC reserves the freedom to withdraw from this procedure. We have to use them with parsimony. I insist on the extremely sensitive side of these accreditations and inherent responsibility. On BVM request, the group of media volunteers will be available to accompany our Right Holders guests to the studio where they are invited. 17

18 Field of play Bibs are compulsory to access the field of play when the accreditation does not include Zone 1. There will be: - IHF bibs (white) - Host Broadcaster (HB) bibs (grey) - Rights Holders (TVRH) bibs (green) - And photographers (PHOTO) bibs (blue). We will deliver BIBs from a venue to another in our OBVans as below: - from Oldenburg to Magdeburg - and from Leipzig to Hamburg In case, we need some more BIBs in Hamburg for ½ finals and Finals, BVM Gilles Estay will be able to bring them from Magdeburg to Hamburg. All Right Holder will have to bring back its BIBs at the end of his presence in each venue. 18

19 Special areas The access to the dressing rooms, Special Guest and VIP areas will be treated in a case by case basis. 19

20 4. ROLE OF PROTV The International Handball Federation (IHF) is the governing body of the 23 rd Women s World Championship Germany 2017 taking place from December, the 1 st to December, the 17 th, And German Handball Federation (DHB) is the organizer of the event. PROTV is appointed as the host broadcaster for 23rd IHF Women s Handball World Championship to distribute TV and Radio rights And will be the main point of contact for world feed and unilateral facilities and services PROTV main responsibilities are: Produce an international live television HB signal that includes match highlights and wrap up. Produce additional footage such as Road to Germany available for all Rights Holders (RH). Distribute a live feed for web streaming (off site distribution, no involvement in Germany). Manage and assist the RHs on and off site, wishing to cover this event. Please note that the Booking of this event is managed by PROTV.

21 5. HOST BROADCASTER OPERATIONS 5.1 Production standards The Host Broadcaster Production standard for IHF Women s World Championship Germany 2017 is as follows: Video: High Definition (HDTV): HD SDI /9@50i Audio: Embedded Audio Stereo Audio Tracks: Audio 1: International sound stereo left Audio 2: International sound stereo right Audio 3: English Guide Audio 4: English Guide Mix Mono Audio 5: RH 1st team playing Mono Audio 6: RH 2nd team playing Mono Audio 7: N/A Audio 8: N/A The production style will be informative and objective, providing a balanced exposure to all participating teams and players. The World Feed International Signal will be made available to Rights Holders (RHs) both at the Venues and on Satellite, allowing broadcasters to personalize their unilateral operations locally at the venues or on their own premises in their country of origin. 21

22 5.2 Broadcast principles A total of 6 production facilities will be used, 1 in each Venue to produce and cover all competition matches. All are highly handball oriented but also with a wide-range of experience in major international events. The HB unit will also provide with a limited number of unilateral broadcast services to RHs, depending on requests and availability. To protect the game, the IHF has established a few key principles. By adopting these principles, the IHF provides the HB with a great opportunity to create top-quality programs, which will be destined for a wide international distribution. The field of play Any media equipment and personnel must be positioned in such a way that they do not represent any danger to players, coaches and/or match officials. During game play, the field must always be kept free of broadcast equipment and personnel (except during time-outs). Spectators Except for confirmed camera positions, any media equipment and personnel must be positioned so as not to obstruct the spectator s view of the game Match officials, players and coaches Broadcast equipment cannot obstruct the view of play for match officials, players and coaches nor affect the game in any way. Journalists cannot approach players and/or coaches for interview purposes during play. Other media The Host Broadcaster must respect the work of other media such as the written press, photographers etc. (i.e. a decent area must be provided to photographers alongside camera positions and HB equipment and personnel cannot disturb their work). 22

23 5.3 Broadcast setup All HB match directors are conscious that they are providing coverage for the international feed, which implies that their coverage must remain totally unbiased. Also, the IHF Women s World Championship Germany 2017 will be broadcasted in many countries worldwide. In that sense, match directors shall aim at satisfying the viewing preferences of a global audience Match director guidelines The following guidelines will apply to all multilateral match feeds produced by the Host Broadcaster: All matches will be produced in 16:9. The multilateral feed will include a pre-match feed (10 minutes prior to Kick-off during Preliminary phase and 15 minutes prior to Kick-off during Final match) and will run with a post-match feed (3 minutes after Final Whistle). Prior and after the multilateral feed, RHs unilateral activities are available as per the rate card description. Image bank Wrap up of all the matches of the day per venue will include: complete highlights, 10 best actions, 10 best SSL and press conferences with two coaches. All match directors should be sensitive to any potential match circumstances such as: o Serious player injury. o Abusive behavior between players. No political banners should be broadcasted during the full extent of the coverage for not compromising the impartiality of the tournament. The coverage of the game must remain completely impartial and fair. Live action will always prevail over replays or crowd shot reactions. Concerning replays, quality prevails over quantity Running order The World Feed show is a fully-produced live program that includes pre and post-match activities and match coverage and is ready for live transmission. The feed begins 10 minutes before kick-off during Preliminary phase and 15 minutes prior to Kick-off during Final match. And finish 3 minutes after the final whistle. Tapes with Host Cities profiles have been provided to BVM in each arenas in case Directors want to add them in International World Feed 23
