I know very little about them but I’m keen to know more and it came up elsewhere.
Italy have attracted some big names from a wide range of countries this year. However there is a maximum on how many overseas athletes each club can field. I dont know if there’s a financial incentive to the participants but Listunova’s participation a couple of years ago coincided with the national team being kitted out with top end Italian leather hand guards
All I am aware is that several countries have them, but the top 2 in terms of quality are Germany and Italy. With Germany’s league operating September to December and Italy March to May. I guess you could say it sort of works similar to ncaa, dual and tri meets on a weekly basis.
