The best part of this tournament, from the point of view of a Basque Pelota fan, was the terrific video coverage. 26 matches including all Semi-finals, Paleta Cuero 3rd Place matches, and all Finals (14 matches) were included in the coverage. It is a feast, particularly for fans of these two modalities.
As usual, with a post that covers this many matches, if you wish to follow the tournament in chronological order, read from the bottom up.
