Titles on the record (6)

Each read off a results document the archive holds: a result sheet, or, for a season's title, the body's own champions grid or season table, with the name as that document prints it.

Results

Likely

The federation's season lists print the name Czeller Béla with no other identifier. Its own table of champions by title count, in section 12 of the book, prints the name with 6 titles, which agrees with the 6 first places counted from the season lists in section 11 (recounted on 2026-10-07), and its medal table for Runabout, Formula 1 and Formula 2 gives 6 first, 2 second and 4 third places, which agree with the same lists. Reading every row as one rider rests on the name and that agreement, and is the archive's inference.

1995, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003, 2004 and 2005 · Likely

The same lists print him third in SKI MODIFIED in 1995, in RUNABOUT 1200 OFFSHORE in 1997, in OFFSHORE 1200 in 1998 and in RUNABOUT 800 in 2003, second in OFFSHORE 785 in 2000 and in FORMULA-2 in 2004, and third in FORMULA-2 in 2005. In the 2005 edition of the same book the 2003 Runabout list is headed RUNABOUT 1100. Reading these rows as one rider rests on the inference stated in the first claim.

2005 · Confirmed

On the federation's official results list of the fifth round of the 2005 national championship, at Ónodi-tó on 20 and 21 August 2005, he is fourth in FORMULA 2 and seventh in RUNABOUT 800 on 60 points, all from the first of its three scored columns (the other two print DNR), under the sheet's team column MM, start nr. column H2y and type column P. The federation's standings sheets over five rounds place him third in FORMULA 2 on 204 points and fourth in RUNABOUT 800 on 567. Those sheets print no year; 2005 rests on their fifth-round column matching this newsletter's order of finish. The start number register of the federation's 2005 book prints H2y beside his name.

2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 · Likely

The federation's table of European results lists him first in FORMULA 2 of the 2000 and 2002 European F1, F2 series and of the 2003 European F1, F2, F3 series, and second in 2001, and its 2005 and 2006 forewords say he won the Formula 2 championship title in 2000, 2002 and 2003. The same table lists him fifth in FORMULA 1 in 2000 and 11th in 2001. The books print no organiser for the series, and no sheet of it is held (searched the archive's mirror and the research cache, 2026-10-07).

1999 · Likely

The federation's table lists him 11th in Runabout Pro 785 at the 1999 UIM World Championship.

Business

2005 and 2006 · Likely

The member lists of the 2005 and 2006 books print him as the representative of MIKROMATIKA Ingatlanfejlesztési KFT, with the title jet-ski szakosztályvezető (head of its jet-ski section). Reading the representative as the rider above rests on the shared name and the shared federation, and is the archive's inference from the name.

Organising the sport

2005 and 2006 · Likely

The federation's 2005 and 2006 books print Czeller Béla as its elnök (president) in the list of its officers, and their forewords are signed with that name and title. Reading the officer as the rider of the results above rests on the shared name and the shared federation, and is the archive's inference from the name.

Sources: Hungarian national book 2006; Hungarian national book 2005; Hungarian federation 2005 foreword; Hungarian federation 2006 foreword

2004 · Likely

The federation's 2006 foreword says that in 2004 the UIM world federation elected Czeller Béla, president of the Hungarian federation, to its AQUABIKE board for four years. It is the federation's own account of another body's election. The UIM's own page on its International Aquabike Commission as updated on 5 July 2004 does not list him, and the foreword does not say when in 2004 the election took place (read 2026-10-09). Reading the person elected as the rider of the results above rests on the shared name and the shared federation, and is the archive's inference from the name.

Sources: Hungarian federation 2006 foreword; UIM aquabike commission page 2004

2010 · Likely

The UIM's yearbook published in February 2010 lists Bela Czeller of Hungary as a Member of its International Aquabike Commission. Reading him as the Hungarian federation's president and the rider of the results above rests on the name and the country, and is the archive's inference.

Sources: UIM yearbook 2009/2010

2019 · Likely

The UIM's yearbook published in May 2019 lists the Hungarian Jet Sports Federation, with the web address www.jet-ski.hu, among its national authorities, and prints Bela Czeller as its President. Reading him as the Czeller Béla who was the federation's elnök in its 2005 and 2006 books rests on the name, the country and the federation, and is the archive's inference.

Sources: UIM yearbook 2019

Recognition

Confirmed

The federation's 2005 and 2006 books list him as one of four riders who received the ministerial distinction Sport Nívódíj in 2002.

What the archive has not read (3)

• The federation's season lists print the first ten places of each class and fewer in a small class, so no place below tenth is held for any season from 1992 to 2005 (read 2026-10-07).
• The 2013 Alpen Adria sheets print a Bela Czeller on start number 4 in Pro Am Runabout Stock and Pro Am Runabout G.P., with no nation printed on his lines, and nothing ties him to this record, so he is not used (checked 2026-10-07).
• The Hungarian federation's own held books name his federation posts for 2005 and 2006 only, and no held result of his is later than 2005 (searched the archive's mirror and the research cache, 2026-10-07); the UIM's yearbook of May 2019 names him the federation's president (read 2026-10-09).

Documents cited on this page

• Hungarian national book 2006 (web.archive.org): MJSZ 2006 rule book, part IV, the Hungarian national book (championship results 1992 to 2005 and European and world placings 1994 to 2005), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2006; sanctioning body, high. The federation's own book of national rules and results, in Hungarian, read from the extract held here. Section 11 prints the first ten places of each class, and fewer in a small class, in every season of the national championship from 1992 to 2005; section 12 its medal tables, a table of champions by title count, the list of perpetual Hungarian champions and the four riders honoured in 2002; section 13 the placings of its riders at European and world championships from 1994 to 2005; section 1 its officers and section 2 its member bodies with their representatives. High for the federation's own championship lists and tables, which are its own results. Section 13 reports events other bodies ran and no sheet of those events is held, so a claim that rests only on section 13 is marked likely. Names print family name first. The extract sets two class lists side by side and prints some Hungarian letters as substitute characters, so a name's class is read from its column, checked against the 2005 edition's tab-separated lists. The book also prints phone numbers, addresses and company registration numbers, none of which is copied.
• Hungarian national book 2005 (web.archive.org): MJSZ 2005 rule book, part IV, the Hungarian national book (championship results 1992 to 2004 and European and world placings 1994 to 2004), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2005; sanctioning body, high. The previous year's edition of the same book, captured as RTF on 1 March 2006 and read from the extract held here. Its section 11 covers the championship from 1992 to 2004, in tab-separated two-column lists that show which class each name sits under, which the 2006 edition's extract does not always do. It is the same body's book, so the two editions are not independent of each other. For the five riders read from both editions (checked 2026-10-07) every place in every list from 1992 to 2004 is the same in the same order; the one difference is that its 2003 and 2004 Runabout lists are headed 1100 and 1600 where the 2006 edition prints 800 and 1200. The same extract prints phone numbers and registration numbers, which are not copied.
• Hungarian 2005 championship standings (web.archive.org): Osszesitett, the Hungarian national championship's 2005 standings with points after five rounds (Excel file on jet-ski.hu, Wayback capture of 23 December 2005), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2005; sanctioning body, high. The federation's own 2005 standings, read from the Excel file into text, one block per sheet. The per-class sheets (Formula 1 and 2, Formula 3, Runabout, Ski and X2, free style and novice, slalom) give each rider a licence number, club code and start number and points for each of five rounds, and their orders match the 2006 book's 2005 lists. The first sheet, headed with older class names, is a different table set whose season is not established, and nothing here relies on it. In the Formula 1 and 2 sheets one rider's licence number differs from the one the newsletter prints for him; no claim uses a licence number.
• Hungarian newsletter 9 of 2005 (web.archive.org): Jet-Ski Sport Hirlevel No 9 / 2005, official results of the fifth round of the 2005 national championship (Land-Bau Jet-Ski Kupa, Onodi-to, 20 to 21 August 2005) and the year's champions, Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2005-08-29; sanctioning body, high. The federation's newsletter dated 29 August 2005, whose first part is the round's official results list for Formula 1, 2 and 3, Ski, X2, Runabout 800 and 1200, free style and the novice classes, each row with licence number, club code, start number, make code, laps, penalties and points, followed by the year's champions and the results of the UIM European championship rounds in Switzerland. Read from the extract held here, which prints the Hungarian double acute letters as substitute characters. High as the federation's own results list for its own round; the UIM paragraphs report another body's event and are not relied on. It names its sponsor and its secretary, who are not used.
• Hungarian federation 2005 foreword (web.archive.org): MJSZ 2005 rule book, part I, foreword (the Hungarian affiliate's own account of its history and of the EJSBA), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2005; sanctioning body, medium. A national affiliate's foreword, in Hungarian, read from the copy held here. It dates the federation to 12 November 1992, says Hungarian racing ran from 1991 under UIM-derived rules, and says that in January 1993 Hungary and five other countries formed the IJSBA's European committee, the EJSBA; it also says the two world federations reached no agreement on rules or race organisation. Medium because it is one affiliate's own account, single-sourced, and its signatories are not copied.
• Hungarian federation 2006 foreword (web.archive.org): MJSZ 2006 rule book, part I, foreword (the Hungarian affiliate's own account of its history and results to 2005), Magyar Jet-Ski Szovetseg, 2006; sanctioning body, medium. The 2006 edition of the foreword whose 2005 edition is also held, and longer than that one. It repeats the 2005 text on the federation's founding and its riders' European and world results, and adds the federation's hosting of European rounds from 1996 to 2003, the 2004 election of its president to the UIM's aquabike board, and the 2005 world and European medals. It is signed with three names and titles. Medium because it is the federation's own account, single-sourced, and the same body as the 2005 foreword, so the two are not independent. The signatories' contact details are not in the text.
• UIM aquabike commission page 2004 (web.archive.org): International Aquabike Commission (UIM page, last update 5/07/04, Wayback capture of 21 August 2004, excerpt), Union Internationale Motonautique, 2004-07-05; sanctioning body, high. The same UIM page as updated on 5 July 2004: the same remit sentence, the president's line printed Vacant, a secretary, six members, the aquabike promoter and the drivers' representative, with countries. High for whom the UIM lists in each post at that date.
• UIM yearbook 2009/2010 (web.archive.org): UIM Yearbook 2009/2010, published February 2010 (PDF text, Wayback capture of 24 December 2010, excerpt of the officers' lists), Union Internationale Motonautique, 2010-02; sanctioning body, high. The governing body's yearbook, whose publication line reads February 2010. The excerpt keeps its council (president, administrators, regional and continental vice-presidents, commission and committee presidents, secretary general), its International Aquabike Commission with posts and countries, the governing body's own entry in its list of national authorities, and the head of the Polish entry. High for whom the UIM lists in each post. The file is named yearbook2010.pdf and the cover reads 2009-2010; the archive dates the lists to February 2010, when the book was published. The excerpt also keeps the organigram's Aquabike Committee line and the International Medical & Safety Commission, and leaves out the editor's credit.
• UIM yearbook 2019 (uim.sport): UIM Yearbook 2019, published May 2019 (PDF text read from www.uim.sport, excerpt of the officers' lists), Union Internationale Motonautique, 2019-05; sanctioning body, high. The governing body's yearbook, whose publication line reads May 2019. The excerpt keeps its organigram, council, technical commission, Aquabike Committee (whose head it prints as President in the committee list and as Aquabike Chairman in the council list), medical and safety commission, International Board of Consultants, and the Estonian and Hungarian Jet Sports Federation entries in its list of national authorities with their officers. The excerpt also holds entries added for other records (the Serbia entry in the list of national authorities). (as UIM yearbook 2009/2010 above)

Changes to this page

• 2026-10-09: The 2004 election claim said no UIM document naming him was held. The UIM's yearbook of February 2010 lists a Bela Czeller of Hungary on its International Aquabike Commission, so that sentence was replaced with what the UIM's own commission page of July 2004 shows, and the 2010 listing was added as its own claim. The same day, the UIM's yearbook of May 2019, which names him president of the Hungarian Jet Sports Federation, was added as a claim. The gap on his federation posts now says it is about the Hungarian federation's own books and names the 2019 yearbook.
