WOOOW!!

What's a WOOOW!!? It's the World Open Outdoor One Wall Doubles Championship. Sponsored by Juan Guerra and the CPQ International Handball and Paddleball Association the weekend of November 5th & 6th, 2005, this event drew a lot of attention to our sport and to its hotbed, the Historic Courts on Garfield Street on Hollywood Beach, Florida.

We had the pleasure of watching 29 teams vying for bragging rights and the big prize on that sunny weekend on Hollywood Beach. Players came from New York, Orlando and even Hollywood. There was action all the way to the end as the "old man" flew with the greatest of ease to make pivotal saves and shots. These guys had the crowd on its feet no matter which team they were rooting for!

My thanks to Albert Apuzzi and Danielle (you know who you are) for sharing your pictures with all of us. If you'd like CD's or a DVD of the Tournament pics and video clips I took, those will be available for a nominal fee. Included below are a couple of video clips in .mov format. You'll need to install the Apple Quicktime viewer to see these files- but it's worth it! These are some great plays! Get it here. Please be aware that the video clips are big files- about 9 and 15 megs- and that these may take a good while to download. You'd do best with a broadband connection!
