World Events & FIR License British racketlon is planning to host four events on the world tour for 2010, namely the British, Welsh, English & Scottish Open's. The English & Scottish are full world tour events, whilst the British & Welsh are challenger events. All events attract world ranking points & the requirement to pay a one-off FIR (world governing body) license of 10 euro. You can now pay this license online, so the ERA would like to encourage all to register as a player to Result Reporter & perhaps pay your FIR license early, to help support the development of world racketlon... 2010 racketlon kicked off with the first of 12 events on the Belgium circuit, with our own Jermaine Manners taking the elite title, the first of two January victories. The tournament video is below & the results can be found here. The first world tour event is the Swedish Open, 26th -28th February 2010
Keep checking the ERA website 'events' section for new tour date confirmations. A list of locations being investigated appears on the ERA website. If you are aware of a venue that might suit a racketlon tournament please email
