Sadly the Indian team had their visas refused (I'm assuming Covid restrictions) I was really looking forward to meeting them but maybe next year.

I have a lot of video as well which I'll eventually get up. If someone wants original video of themselves then I'll get it over to you. I'm thinking of making "Just the hits" because otherwise it will be a long video I didn't get as much video as I could have because we had the camera guy there and lots of other people were filming. I also wanted to spend time just slinging without worrying about the camera

Before we started the competition proper (competitors on the other islands had to come later) we did some tennis ball slinging at a botanical garden; 2 rounds of 5 balls each. These scores weren't counted into the overall scores.

From Pep:
"PREVIEW TO THE WORLD CUP
RAFEL LOPEZ (LORCA) AND ANTONIA REYNES (SA POPULA)
WIN IN BIOTANIC IBIZA BIOTECHNOLOGICAL
BASSETTLE SHOOT - FONA - TIRO CON HONDA - SLINGING -
To warm up engines and before the World Cup shooting dispute with Honda, it took place at the Botanical Botanical Ibiza, a ball-mode thrown.
The results that occurred were as follows:
MEN:
1th) With 10 + 3 points Rafel Lopez
2th) With 10 + 2 points Diego Camuñas
3th) With 7 + 2 points Francesc Ribas
WOMEN:
1 a) With 7 + 1 points Antonia Reynes de Sa Pobla
2 a) With 6 + 1 Points Maria de Malaga
3 (a) With 5 + 1 Myriam points from Austria
Laia Prats with 2 points was the winner of the juvenile test.
Two groups of guided tours to the Botanico were held during the competition.
In the photo we see Antonia Reynes 1st ranked in women and Diego Camuñas (Sa Pobla) 2th ranked in men."

Automatic translation on Facebook needs some work but I think you can work it out. As you can see, Myriam was already doing well.

So are you pretty much going to be planning for the competition every year now?

More scores from Pep. First time with tennis balls actually counting to the overall championship scores. Uwe and Channing did fantastic with Uwe only just being beaten by Diego by one diana. Myriam did great as well, taking second place in the Women's:
