Welsh Open is part of the British tour and points for rankings will be allocated as a national championship. World Ranking points are also available.
The event is being organised by the English Racketlon Association. All standards are welcome.
Note that all players entering in the main events (non-rookie) are required to pay the international racketlon federation license fee of £10 (this can be added as an extra category when entering - tick the bottom box).
It's the nature of racketlon that we run 2 world ranking events in the UK a year (all standards welcome). The International Racketlon Federation have introduced this fee in 2009 and made it compulsory for the first time. In 2008 it was only payable on the second event. It proves ok value if you are willing to also enter the English Open in August (the International Fee stands for the rest of 2009 so also counts for other events being held in Edinburgh and other destinations around Europe). Participants should add the FIR License category upon entering (if required). Rookie events do not require an FIR License. In 2010 there will be more FIR events in the UK as the quota of international tournaments is increasing.
