Good news for Pan American Handball fans: Every match of the upcoming championships will be live streamed

The Argentine Handball Federation web page has announced that all matches for the upcoming Men’s Pan American Championships will be live streamed from Buenos Aires.  The Argentine Federation has also set up a tournament homepage with links to standings, news and related video.  Most likely, these pages will provide the most up to date information on the tournament.

The tournament starts on Monday, 18 June with hosts Argentina taking on Team USA at 6:00 PM, Local Time (5:00 PM U.S. East Coast)

Commentary:  I’ll go along with Ruben Gomez’s commentary at Mundo Handball.  Webstreaming is becoming more practical and it should be standard practice for it to be provided at major PATHF tournaments.  I’m not so sure as to whether it should be mandatory yet, but we are rapidly approaching the point where such a requirement will make sense.
