Are you a member of the IFPA? If yes, why, if no? Why not?

i got lifetime membership the year it started. i figure i dont waste any money towards "annual payments" and get it done in one shot. but then again, i brought nearly $700 with me to that tournament, and ALL of it was used.

How much was lifetime membership back then?

ToeGuiltless · Post by **ToeGuiltless** » 11 Nov 2002 01:00

lifetime was $150

150 $ that is kind of expensive, how should kid's be able to 150 $ for footbag ?

what does membership get you?

ToeGuiltless · Post by **ToeGuiltless** » 12 Nov 2002 21:10

lifetime membership for $150. never ever pay again. you could also pay $20 for one year. but i figure ill be competing for more than 7 years, so ill save in the longrun. you HAVE to have membership to compete in IFPA sanctioned events.

which are ifpa sanctioned?

ToeGuiltless · Post by **ToeGuiltless** » 13 Nov 2002 01:54

the bigger tournaments are usually ifpa sanctioned. worlds, us open, and im not so sure about css though.

I think a one-year membership costs 10 $ (not 20$), because at euros this year one had to pay 10 bucks.
hum....

I guess Chris meant 20 bucks for *two* years but wasn't mentally present when typing so that error occured

okay, that's also true. so for $20 you could either be member for two years or for one year but get a t-shirt. I prefered spending no more than $20 and having the t-shirt. it became too small after washing.

*bump*

I've been a member since it was formed. I love that footbag has a non-profit organization that people can donate to and it helps to promote and improve the sport. Now that the IFPA is in place it ensures that the sport can be community driven rather than driven by the tireless work of one person (cough cough Steve cough cough).

When the IFPA Sanctioned CSS6 it also allowed for me to get more donations from outside sources because they were able to use it as a tax deduction. It helped pay for some serious expenses that otherwise would have cost us fun times like the players' party.

You should all join that aren't, just because if you all take the initiative (even just the $10 for a year) as a group, we'll have a bigger footbag budget for worlds and stuff, and since its going to be huge this year (even though I and many others can't go

) it'll be great to have such a massive event behind us to in the following years.

I'm getting lifetime next renweal for sure, always wanted to, but finally have the cash.

Yeah without the IFPA freestyle footbag would be so far behind what it is. I wouldn't have ever played probably either. I think joining the ifpa should be one of people's first priorities!

I'm a member until 2007.

King Monkey · Post by **King Monkey** » 10 May 2005 03:27

I joined because its a good thing to do!

It also allows you to post events and have webspace to upload media etc. The event posting thing is good because you can help represent footbag in your part of the world.

Everyone should join to give IFPA all the help they can get! We need them!
