Having problems with message search?
Personally prefer 21 up or maybe 15. I find 11 too short. However, it will depend on whether tournament is 1 or 2 days. Sundays is preferable to Saturdays if one day only - some people have to work on Saturdays or have other commitments!
Cost seems ok. It's often dependent on how much we have to pay the venue so finding sympathetic venues is key. What about a discount if you play a certain number of tournaments during the year? Play 6 get 1 half price!! Sorry, Keith, don't know if we can afford that.....
License not a bad idea. Again gives incentive to play more often. And to help that, 1 day tournaments (or doubles on Sat/singles on Sun) is probably the way forward for the majority of the tour.
We need more venues - if anyone has any good ideas for where a tournament can be played - pls advise.

My twopence for what its worth:
1. I prefer 11 up and shorter events (more attractive as only take a day rather than a whole weekend)
2. Training Camp I'm up for whenever
3. I'd like to introduce a season license for British Events so that once you have played 4 events you get the value of that license back. So the season license would cost £10 and a per event license would be £2.50. Something along those lines.........
Cheers

Do you think a racketlon membership fee is a good idea and how much should be charged for this, what could/should it include? Would a per tournament license fee work v a season license fee?

Whats the optimum - one day 11 tournaments? Say 8 a year? Two day 21 tournaments, 4 a year? Stick to one scoring system? Is 15 ok? Whats best?

And up to date content on racketlon.co.uk - which is still being worked on.
