restricted access to tournaments at the expense of the betterment of the sport is like belting someone across the knees with an iron bar; it ruins everything. promote and play sport for the enjoyment of players and spectators.

With the ability to play in diverse & challenging tournaments, players, supporters, administrators & the public profile/health of beach volleyball will thrive. Leading to more players, with higher skill levels, which in turn attracts sponsorship and greater financial benefits for players and the sport. Restrictive sanctions that have continued in the past and now, have done very little for the health & stability and financial success of the sport. This approach had been going on since the early 90's (probably earlier).....and after 20+ years we should have a fully fledged, high profile, financially secure sport!! Time to ditch the past and and have an inclusive approach to growing our sport...let's not repeat those restrictions and find out in another 20 years that we still have made little progress.

This should also apply to officials and operational staff. Any penalties or exclusion behaviours as a result of being involved in another event by any party should be perceived as limitation of earning potential.

Athletes, officials and other stakeholders have the right to participate without the fear of being sanctioned by the governing body. The sport is not in a position to alienate stakeholders, and needs to unite to restore the sport to where it should belong in the Australian sporting landscape.

BV should be governed and managed as a commercial enterprise that provides a solid platform for performance and skill enhancement through competition and comprise a performance based remuneration through prize money. There is nothing wrong with competing tours as it would only provide various competing platforms for a wide range of development opportunities across various geographic regions.
By sanctioning players competing in a free "market" of revenue generating tours the governing body would monopolizing the sport and provide limited access to development and funding. BV in Australia is like an emerging market that will need the opportunities of a free market environment to expand as well as develop and transfer skills and knowledge to grow and excel! This petition is a great movement to take one of the most exciting and most marketable sports to the next level! Good luck!

I sincerely hope that I have misunderstood the situation, but if the AVF was to start using words like "unsanctioned event" just three years after they declared that there would be no National Championships due to a lack of funding I would have some serious concerns...

To those concerned,
Please understand that more events brings more exposure to the sport. And with that exposure not only does the sport gain enthusiastic followers, it will gain more players and officials.
Please stop restricting the sport and let it grow like it should. Don't let selfish people hold it back.

Australian beach volleyball is finally attracting more attention throughout other avenues than the governing body of the sport itself. This should be viewed in a positive respect as its an indicator that there is growth occurring within the sport. Why stop people from competing within any competition other than one by the governing body? Players finally have options and are going to benefit financially. Competition is healthy within the market. Don't punish the players, simply provide a tour that encourages players to play more so than another. Its simple!
