The EBU launched its "Pay to Play" scheme on April 1, 2010 to create Universal Membership. This scheme replaces its previous method of financing by charging a small payment (29 pence from April 2010 to March 2011) each time a player plays at an EBU affiliated club.

“I had rather believe all the fables in the Legend, and the Talmud, and the Alcoran, than that this universal frame is without a Mind; and, therefore, God never wrought miracle to convince atheism, because his ordinary works convince it.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
