The board of EPBF was influenced by the federations from Eastern Europe and awarded the federations for the medals won at the junior European Championships. Our postulate from the General Meeting in Portoroz was fulfilled, though the amount of prize money first assumed was decreased. It looks really bad when the federation gets 75 Euro for the bronze medal of its player, while the entry fee is 110 Euro!!! The board of EPBF should think about it. Can we still call it a 'proper prize' when its lower than entry fee? Our suggestion was between 110 € and 150 €.
