Rather than complain....

There has been too much chatter, name calling, & complaining about the make up of the FISTF board for the past year or more. I, for one, am tired of it.

Rather than complain about the new board why doesn't everyone who does not like the new regime just not take part in FISTF tournaments, & if you are organizing tournaments arrange them under your national association & not as FISTF tournaments.

That way everybody will be able to see how many people disagree with the board by the lack of FISTF sanctioned tournaments & the number of known (ranked) players missing from their events.

As a player there is not a lot you can do without hurting yourselve. I am not going to pay my fee next year but this means almost the same as stop playing subbuteo. I know the sportminded guys don't give a shit and i am the one with the problem.
I think i move to CA

Protest = sacrifice.

Who is the fee paid to? Your national association?
Are the only tournaments held in your country FISTF tournaments?
If not then only play in the ones that are not FISTF tournaments.
If they are all FISTF tournaments ask the organizers of these tournaments if they could arrange some that are not.

If you ever come to CA let us know & we will hold an event in your honor.

Was two years ago in CA really loved it!!!

yes you pay the national association, which allows you to play national tournements in your homecountry and the Fistf tournements all over the world. I don't think it makes a difference if you play only the national tournements, you've payed for both.
It also depends from country to country so not 100% sure.
I'll be fine with less subbuteo don't worry, a club evening from time to time will do.

Pay your fee to your national association, unless you have a problem with your national association. Play in national events & do not take part in the FISTF ones.
