Budget:

We want to make clear that people, who work hard on these events, should receive some reasonable payment, nevertheless management costs should be kept to the minimum.
The EUF committee wants to make sure that it is able to get very clear visibility of all the costs, that costs are reasonable, and that we help make sure players don’t pay for things that they might prefer not to have if given the choice.
The EUF will charge 3€ per player per day as a sanctioning fee.
Refund Policy
It is necessary to include a Timeline that outlines key payment deadlines including the refund policy. A bid without refund policy cannot be considered.
This edition will help us to not lose money from participants.
