On the 6th of September, the FIGB (Italian Federation) Credential Committee issued its decision, according to which Team BORTOLETTI was excluded from the Italian Trials for the Bermuda Bowl.
Immediately after the pubblicaton of Credential Committee’s Decision, Mr Bortoletti (Captain) wrote a letter of protest to FIGB: “If the Committee does not immediately review its arbitrary decision to exclude my team, I will for sure get the lawyers on the case”.
On the 9th of September, the six players rostered in Bortoletti’s Team (Carlo Bortoletti, Dano De Falco, Paolo Clair, Giovanni Genova, Fulvio Fantoni, Massimo Moritsch) filed an appeal to the FIGB Federal Tribunal.
At the moment, neither the Italian Federation nor Bortoletti’s Team have released any statements.
