This highly anticipated tournament will showcase the best teams and players from around the globe, including reigning World Champions and USA Champions 2022, Clark Marshall and Buddy Hammon of Assistive Touch (both Spikeball sponsored players).

The participating teams at the Spikeball™ Toulouse Major represent the pinnacle of roundnet talent. Among the notable contenders are the undefeated German men's duo, Paul Siemer and Lukas Eisentrager of Eisentrager/Siemer, who have dominated European tournaments in 2023. Cole Model and Max Model of Hilltop bring their inspiring comeback story following ACL injuries, making them a team to watch from the United States. And all eyes will be on women's team, K2: Laura Kunzelmann and Katie Pierson, who recently beat the previously undefeated US team, TWINZ, in the Spikeball™ Salt Lake City Major finals.

French team Pour Combien?, consisting of Robin Florinda and Dorian Ameziane, is poised to build upon their success from last year, where they defeated Eisentrager/Siemer and secured a remarkable T-5 finish at the 2022 World Championships. And popular French team 'Puces&dives' - Natacha Alt and Inès Paysan, will also be hoping to make a deep run through the bracket.
