Es hält sich hartnäckig das Gerücht, dass die Startgelder für Turniere in Deutschland europaweit die höchsten überhaupt seien. Wir haben uns alle europäischen und einige zusätzliche Turniere außerhalb Europas ab der Kategorie ITF S400 aufwärts angesehen.
- Outdoor-Turniere auf Asche Kat 400 und besser
- Die Startgelder haben wir den Factsheet eines Turniers entnommen, die IPIN-Gebühr von 5 € pro Turnier ist in unseren Zahlen enthalten
- Wo die Startgelder nach Teilnahme (nur Einzel oder Einzel und Doppel) aufgeschlüsselt sind, haben wir die Startgebühr für Einzel + Doppel zu Grunde gelegt
- Bei Turnieren mit unterschiedlichen Startgebühren für Männer und Frauen haben wir die (höhere) Startgebühr für Männer zu Grunde gelegt
- Bei Turnieren, bei denen die Entry fee bei gleichzeitiger Hotelbuchung günstiger ist, haben wir die Entry fee ohne Hotelbuchung zu Grunde gelegt
- Bei Turnieren mit Sonderkonditionen für Mitglieder einer bestimmten Gruppe haben wir das Startgeld ohne Sonderkonditionen zu Grunde gelegt
- Die Teilnehmerzahlen haben wir der Event-Liste des Turniers entnommen
Nach Betrachtung der drei nach unterschiedlichen Kriterien aufgestellten Übersichten kann sich jeder ein Bild machen.
