- As a tournament organization, we ended our cooperation with the now incumbent Vice President YET International in 2020 after our tournament. After her disproportionately negative behavior in the final weekend, almost the entire crew no longer wished to work with her.
- Subsequently, as co-founders of the YET tour, we communicated this to the president of YET International. It was amazing to us that he didn't care. Own problem, figure it out. As it turned out, because she did a lot of work for him. Which suited him.
- Following this attitude by the President, I resigned from my position on the board as co-founder of the YET tour. A collaboration with the now incumbent Vice President was not an option after what happened.
- Subsequently, our tournament in 2020/2021 could not take place due to Corona.
- For 2021/2022, the current Vice President had prepared her own International tournament based on our YET Netherlands pads. Which was scheduled right before our YET Netherlands tournament.
- Despite our reservations about this, we have not reacted to it because everyone is free to organize something for the youth.
- Nevertheless, we also felt that the next step would be admission to the YET tour. This attempt has therefore been made to allow two tournaments per country. Fortunately, this has been voted down by the participating countries. No competition within any country. Attempt one was therefore unsuccessful.
- Our second attempt to play in 2022 was also crossed by Corona. Bales, and so we went looking for a solution: relocation to the beginning of May if this would be allowed by the Dutch Bowling Federation (NBF).
- NBF saw no problems with this and will report this to us by e-mail. Unfortunately, this email was sent to us as well as to the Vice President who had also posted this question for her own International tournament.
- The next step from us would then be towards the President whether we could play the final weekend in the first weekend of May. The aim is and was to let the youth play. After all, that's what this tour was set up for. However, we were NEVER able to ask this question because we immediately received an e-mail from the President YET International in which our proposal that had not yet been made to him had already been swept off the table. Not to be performed so shortly before the final.
- This e-mail also contained a very clear signal that it had to be clear to the youth if we wanted to play our tournament anyway, they could not get ranking points here. If not, he would himself make this known to the possible participants. In short, there is no question of thinking along in the interest of the youth.
- Remarkable because the year before it was considered to play for the start of the 2021/2022 season because this was impossible in May. It just depends on whether you have the will to think in solutions. Unless there's another thought behind it.
- That this response from the President YET International came to us before we even asked the question can only be due to Vice President to the President reporting. Because she too had asked for a postponement. And then two international tournaments close together are not useful.
- Since there was no communication with the organization YET Netherlands, then only an e-mail message to an unasked question from us to them, including a clear threat to us to be clear, we communicated this to the participants almost one on one.
- As an organization YET Netherlands we wanted but wanted DB YET International, read President and Vice President don't know anything about this.
- And let our response to our YET Netherlands site on which we made it clear to the participants that it was not we as an organization but the DB of YET International that had problems with this, have not gone down well with the DB YET International, but the were the facts. Not a word of a lie.
- Twice the request was made from YET Netherlands to apply “hearing both sides and/or mediation”. The DB YET International has not responded to this.
- Now we suddenly had a “negative” attitude to make it clear to the outside world in this way. Not them to wipe it off the table without asking. That was apparently polite. So, according to the DB YET International, appropriate measures had to be taken against us.
- But before these measures were pronounced, the decision was also made not to play a Final this season??? While we had just been told that our tournament could not take place due to lack of time to the final. Apparently thoughts about the interpretation can change quickly.
- The other organizations were consulted about an appropriate punishment. However, we have not been able to determine whether they have advised exclusion. At least not in the reactions we've seen.
- Shortly after, we were informed that the DB YET International had decided to expel us from the tour. Reason you can read on the site of YET International, NEGATIVE attitude!!! Who was negative???
Well for us it was clear that both the President and the Vice President wanted to get rid of us.
And maybe it's a good thing, because let's be honest with people who have such a character, by only considering themselves important, you won't get much further if you really want to achieve something.
