“We have been thrilled with the first four editions of this event and we are aiming to continue the great tradition we have built each fall at the Portland Classic,” stated Portland Classic tournament director Conor Casey. “Adding an official WPH Pro Tour Stop to ‘The Classic’ is a huge boost to the event and the PNW handball community.
