Is the participation in tournaments is mandatory?
Participation in tournaments is absolutely voluntary, but strongly encouraged, even for beginners, because that is where we learn the most and we make the most beautiful memories. It is also an ideal opportunity to socialize among ourselves and with players from other teams. During the year, the team participates in several senior recreational tournaments. The local tournaments usually cost 25 – 35$ per person. Besides these, we also participate each year in one or two tournaments of the gay network. These tournaments are always very pleasant, and give us a good excuse to travel a bit. Since 2001, we had the opportunity to go to Toronto, Fort Lauderdale, San Francisco, Paris and Sydney. Over the next three years, we are invited to tournaments in Toronto, Washington, Copenhagen and Cologne. For gay tournaments abroad, we often organize fundraising activities to cover a portion of the costs of travel.
