Asking €10 for live streams of a European junior championships in a minor sport, now that's some serious megalomania they've got there.

Agree at 101%...

but I think it's up to that Danish website rather than to the EKF (it shouldn't be an official streaming from the European federation, but a local thing only)...

not that it changes anything, but still...

I guess they must believe that only the most hardcore of the hardcore would like to follow such a minor event. So why not ask them a bit of a mony. It won't change much the audience anyway.

imho, that's the best way to lose also those very few super-hardcore fans...

personally, I might be one of those, but money doesn't grow up in the trees of my garden...so, I won't give them a cent in any case...

good that at least 1 tatami (maybe even 2, if the karateworld.tv stream covers a different one than the Danish portal) is still free to watch...

just talked too early...both the Danish portal and karateworld.tv cover the same Tatami (no.3), which probably isn't even the main one...
