This tournament’s results will go toward the official rankings of the WPH Elite Women WR48Professional Handball Tour. Entry info available HERE>“This is the third women’s stop on the list of professional tour stops for the elite women,” says WPH Director, Dave Vincent, “However, women of all skill levels will participate in one of the coolest drop-downs in professional sports. We liked the format so much we will be using it for the WPH Player’s Championship in Portland [May].” USHA allows players who lose to drop from one more skilled level of play into a bracket of like talent until the player is matched up with the most competitive pairing possible.
