title: Cuatro y Medio Euskadi Championship
text: # Cuatro y Medio Euskadi Championship
  
  The Cuatro y Medio Euskadi Championship is an individual championship of Basque pelota, often known as The Cage due to the front-on setup. Cuatro y Medio means Four and a half. The rules state that every ball that rebounds too far from that particular mark is considered pasa (fail). This makes it a game of precision, more than one of power.
