Important Announcement: Invitation Dates for UMB Events Restored to Normal

Due to the imposed travel restrictions during the COVID-19 period, for more than two years UMB adapted the event publication dates for the World Cups to 6 weeks and for the World Championships to 8 weeks, prior to the date of the event.

As most COVID-19 travel restrictions have been now lifted, UMB restored the publication dates of these events, back to the delay mentioned in tournament rules, to respectively 8 and 10 weeks prior to the event date, starting from the Seoul (Korea) World Cup that, accordingly, will be published on June 27th, 2022.

Sanchez started the match brilliantly with a series of four and nine and was already 13:2 ahead after only two innings. The Spaniard defended this advantage until the five minutes break and was ahead by 26:16. In the past, Dick Jaspers had been able to improve his game in the second leg and had turned around many matches he thought were lost. But this time it didn’t work out.
