" Another case is the international fronton, another invented variety that takes back the ""indirect style"" to its basics: one wall where the ball must bounce.
"
" From the Basque Pelota modalities played in the Basque Country the ones called ""bote luzea"", ""mahi jokoa"" are extinct but, by all accounts they were extremely similar to what has been preserved in Valencian Pilota as Llargues, but using a bigger and heavier ball.
"
" An example of the compatibility there used to be between Valencian ""Llargues"" and Basque ""a la larga"" modalities was the existence during the 19th century of a sort of early professional side to the sport, with players from elsewhere earning high amounts of money, such as Aragonese Lagasa and Valencian Amigó, who, for example, toured in Navarre during September 1680.
"
" In October 2006, for the first time, a Navarrese youth team played ""Llargues"" against a Valencian one during the ""Pilota Day"" celebrated in Valencia (in the adult match, the Valencian community team played the Frisian team from the Netherlands). At the moment the only exchanges between both sports are friendly matches of Frontó, which is the main modality for Basques but a mostly irrelevant one for Valencians. In summer, or for special events, exhibition matches are organized, as the ""Open Ciutat de València"", with particular rules (such as the length of the court), and balls of intermediate size and diameter (70 gr.) between the kinds that both regions are accustomed to.
"
" The Valencian pilota was a demonstration sport in the 1992 Summer Olympics hosted in Barcelona.
"
" Every version of the game uses its own kind of ball. Each kind is different in weight, size, the way it bounces and other aspects. They are all handmade by specialized crafters.
"
" Betting is inherent to the sport in its professional version and it is arguably the main factor which has kept the game alive, unlike similar games played elsewhere which ended up fading away. This is because betting allows professional players to exist, which creates rivalries and increases the entertaining dimension of the sport for the audience. Spectators of Valencian pilota can bet on one of the two sides, and the trinquets and the ""marxador"" gets a commission from these bets.
"
" The two teams dress either with red or blue shirts. Bets are made for one color (red or blue) winning, for a certain margin of victory points, or for an expected way to score each particular point.
"
" Remarkably high amounts of money may be bet during relevant games involving famous players. The more famous players become, the more betting is involved and so their personal revenue.
"
" ""Valencian pilota"" players are called ""pilotaris"" or ""pilotaires"". Usually amateur players are only proficient in one variant, but professional players tend to be hired for social events and exhibitions in other variants. There are now only two variants with professional players: Escala i corda and Raspall.
"
" Traditionally, each player managed his own agenda and arranged his fees, but in 2005 a new company, ValNet, presided over by the retired pilotari Fredi contracted almost all professional players.
