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.

Famous quotes containing the words universal and/or membership:
“The philosopher is like a man fasting in the midst of universal intoxication. He alone perceives the illusion of which all creatures are the willing playthings; he is less duped than his neighbor by his own nature. He judges more sanely, he sees things as they are. It is in this that his liberty consists—in the ability to see clearly and soberly, in the power of mental record.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
“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.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (b. 1922)
