After a 7-month absence, Luca Marzio Garavaglia is returning this weekend to the Royal Pro Home Tour, an international prize money tournament series that is played online via the MWS system at various MWS locations worldwide. The Italian has always won on the tour whenever he participated. In total, he currently holds 8 tournament wins (7 singles, 1 double) out of 8 competitions. It goes without saying that Garavaglia is the top favorite for the title next weekend. In addition to the motivation to knock the king off the throne, what speaks for his challengers is that every series, no matter how successful, has to tear itself apart. The participants of the five pins tournament and their playing venues:
- Driessen, Ernest (Turek, Poland)
- Driessen, Ernst-Jan (Helmond, Netherlands)
- Garavaglia, Luca Marzio (Desio, Italy)

In the three cushion tournament, a three-way battle for the title is expected between Home Tour record champion Andreas Efler, the current leader of the Home Tour ranking 2021/22 Georg Schmied, and the multiple Bavarian champion Roman Bachmaier. Efler currently has 9 triumphs (3x three cushion singles, 3x three cushion doubles, 3x five pins singles) since the very first tournament of the Home Tour series on 01/01/2021, and is 1 success ahead of Garavaglia. The participants of the three cushion tournament and their playing venues:
