Thirteen teams from around the world entered the Semipro Xball Division in Paris — from as far away as the United States and Venezuela . In the opening set of four games America ’ s Austin Notorious , ALA Warsaw from Poland and Joebar Team from France each won their four games . Austin Notorious were clearly the best team in the division , winning all of their games with a sense of ease . And in the finals Austin Notorious beat Norway ’ s Ronholt Dynamite 5-1 to walk away champions of the Semipro Division .
Division Three Xball was the largest and perhaps most vibrant division in the event . With teams coming from Gabon Africa , Malta , Serbia , United States , Spain , Switzerland Finland , Netherlands , Sweden and beyond . In the preliminary rounds Belgium ’ s Hafuba ran the table with four straight wins . Norway ’ s Molde Xtreme , America ’ s Freedom and Independence , UK ’ s Trash Pandas and Denmark ’ s most famous team the Ugly Ducklings all breezed through round one . ON Sunday it was Freedom And Independence coming through with the final-round win over United Strasbourg 4-2 .
Red Legion Europe led Division Four at the end of the preliminary rounds , as the only teams to win all of their games . And they would stay undefeated all the way through to the finals where they met CS Team Toulouse . But the perfect run by Red Legion Europe would end at the hands of SC Team 3-2 .
The WNXL ( Women ’ s NXL ) has really taken off in America , with teams entering the World Cup and other NXL events from across America . Here in Europe the WNXL is just getting started and for this event there were only two teams , both from Spain . Drakaina squared off against Karma for the first ever WNXL Europe . The two teams played three games and it was all Drakaina with three straight wins . Here ’ s to hoping the team list grows for 2023 in Europe !
