This is the only match at that link, so it makes access to the match easier. Also, it is more likely that the match will be archived at this link. Mano--Binakako Txapelketako/Campionato Parejas--2016-17 Final.
April 13, 2017: Main Nue: Added information about Peio Tellier to the information available about all the contestants of the Tournois Esku Pilota-Nautica, a 50 point match tournament being played at Saint Andre.

March 13, 2017: Jai Alai/Cesta Punta: Correction. In the article about Aritz' Erkiaga's great month at Miami Jai Alai I mentioned that if a quinnela player loses a point he has to sit on the bench for 6 points. That was one of my more egregious errors. He has to sit on the bench for 7 points. The post has been corrected. Aritz Erkiaga's Marvelous Month at Miami.
March 3, 2017: Remonte: Correction. In the summary of the Navarra Tournament, I mentioned an "experiment" with Endika in the front court.
"The match article noted Endika's great play in the front court in the Navarra Tournament. This indicated my ignorance about Endika's career. In researching the history of the Sagardoaren Txapelketa for the 2017 edition, I discovered that Endika had played in the inaugural final (2011) in the front court. Some research in the Oriamendi2010 database showed that records of Endika's matches (going as far back as April 29, 2010) had him in the front court from April of 2010 until October 3, 2013. So his being in the front court in the Navarra tournament was no 'experiment.'" Remonte--XI Torneo Comunidad Foral de Navarra de Remonte-Gran Premio Magna 2016. The error has also been corrected (with a slight variation) in the Galarreta "STAR" matches recurring page on the right side of the blog (scroll to the September 29, 2016 entry).
February 24, 2017: Paleta Pelote de Gomme Pleine: Correction: In the final match analysis, it said that Section Paloise (Pau) made 4 errors in the seventh decade (according to my scoring). They made 3. This was a counting error, not a judgment error. It has been corrected. Paleta Pelote de Gomme Pleine (Trinquet)--FFPB Championat de France National A and B Finals and Semi-Finals.
February 22, 2017: Paleta Pelote de Gomme Pleine: added a link to Federation Francaise de Pelote Basque 2017 Championnat de France National A Final, February 2017. Luzean (Saint Jean de Luz) (Ramuntcho Amestoy-Stéphane Suzanne--red) v Section Paloise (Pau) (Olivier Laberdesque-Baptiste Hourçourigaray--white).

February 11, 2017: Pala: added full match video (EITB) for La Liga Kutxabank Final and 3rd place match (held January 7, 2017). EITB added the on demand video around February 10, 2017. I have added it, along with full match individual joko (set) linescores for both matches and complete statistics (EITB) for the 3rd place match. EITB, unfortunately, edited out its full scoring for the championship match. La Liga Kutxabank--Final and 3rd place match. Also, a correction has been made. I had the 3rd joko of the 3rd place match listed as 10-8 Zubiri-Brefel. Diario Vasco Cartelera for January 8, 2017 had it listed at 10-8. The Deia match article had it listed at 10-5. I assumed Deia made the error. That was incorrect. The score has been corrected.
February 11, 2017: Jai Alai/Cesta Punta: Changed match article links for all match articles of the following Internationaux Cesta Punta Masters competitions played last summer. The original links were to compilation pages of articles. The ICP website has removed these compilation pages. I have re-linked directly to the articles. How long they will continue to be available is unkown. Master 1 (match article for final match only. Other match articles are available through the Pelotelive.free.fr link in the post.)

February 6, 2017: Main Nue: Correction. On the recurring table page for Cumulative records of Esku Pilota players Ximun Lambert was listed as a front court player and Laurent Lambert was listed as a back court player. I had their positions reversed. Corrections have been made to all cumulative tables and both players now appear in the correct positions. Source for the correction: Esku Pilota results pages (scroll to "Tournoi de Macay, demi-finales, Samedi 5 Novembre, 2016").

February 2, 2017: Mano: Added a link to a fronton.tv (Castilian) full match video for the Urrutikoetxea-Imaz v Victor (substituting for Artola)-Albisu match. Binakako Txapelketako/Campionato Parejas--Week 9.
January 27, 2017: Remonte: Correction. On December 29, 2016, Ezkurra-Zubiri were leading Uterga-Larranaga 21-17 when Ezkurra was forced to retire due to a thigh injury. I mistakenly gave the victory to E-Z. Oriamendi2010 listed it in its database as: U-L 40 E-Z 21. This changed 4 records for the month, which impacted on the monthly leader in the A group, the total leading monthly leaders for 2016 in the A group, and the win-loss standings, winning-losing streaks, and cumulative points for both groups. All have been corrected in both the December 2016 Rankings and 2016 leading monthly leaders post and Remonte: Galarreta "STAR" matches recurring results page on the right side of the blog.
January 25, 2017: Main Nue: Correction. Changed the FFPB Championnat de France Elite Pro Individuel explanation section. I mistakenly thought the top players were seeded into this tournament at the semi-final level. There is no semi-final level. The top four players in each division move on to a "Liguilla" phase, a round robin of 4 players in each division. 2 players have played their way in and 2 have been seeded in. I have changed the explanation on all annotations, and re-worked any annotation that referred to "semi-final". Apologies for the error. The easiest way to see the change is at FFPB Championnat de France Elite Pro Individuel--Results of January 23, 2017. From there there are links to every other annotation where the changes have been made.
January 23, 2017: Jai Alai/Cesta Punta: Correction: The entry on news about Eric Irastorza and Yeche (Nicholas Eyeheragary) said Irastorza left Miami Jai Alai on December 15, 2016. He left on January 15, 2017. Many thanks to the person who pointed it out. It has been corrected Jai Alai/Cesta Punta--Eric Irastorza finishes his carreer at Maimi Jai Alai--Nicholas Eyheragary (Yeche) injured in traffic accident
January 22, 2017: Pala: Removed links to InnPala.com's brief match articles for January 14, 2017 play-in round of the Mudial Individual Tournament. The articles were over-written by match articles for the January 21 round. The URLs weren't changed, meaning, of course, that the January 14 articles have disappeared. This is about as basic a web design error as is possible to make. It erases part of the history of the sport as of the next match. This is something that we have seen before: Goizeko Izarra's (Main Nue) "Lundi" and Tournament pages also over-write match information each time there is a new match, without archiving the old information. There is a very simple remedy for this. Simply add a suffix (date, tournament round number, -1, -2...) to the old match information URL and save before over-writing it. Save the new article under the persistent URL. Then a simple link at the bottom of each article (which can be easily templated) that says: "previous results" or something to that effect, will preserve the old information. And that will be greatly appreciated by those who love these sports and follow them closely. Pala--Mundial Individual 2017 begins
January 21, 2017: Main Nue: Changed the annotation of the FFPB Championnat de France Elite Pro Individual--Results of January 6, 2017 to point to a Pilota Ttiki preview article of the Match of January 20 between Etchegaray and Monce which mentioned that Etchegaray had won his match v Aguirre on Jan. 6 40-23. Originally they and Esku Pilota had the score at 40-24. FFPB and pelotelive.free.fr had it 40-23. I listed it in the cumulative records of EP players for 2017 as 40-23. It will stay listed that way.
January 21, 2107: Mano: Changed the links to the ASPE League Phase table of the Binakako Txapelketako/Campionato Parejas, as ASPE has done a re-design of its web pages, down to changing the top level domain from .com to .eus. The old links were forwarded to the new site, but not directly to the table page. Those links now work again.
January 20, 2017: Added a link, under Pasaka (glove) to LPPB (Ligue Pelote Pays Basque) Premier Series Quarter-final, played at Urrugne in January 2017. Urrugne (Urrunarrak) (Ourquia-Ussaralde--white) v Saint Pierre d'Irube (Hiriburuko Ainhara 2) (Lapergue-Latxague--red). Point beginning at 0-15 Game 4. 22 balls in play. (10:38--11:36) if your device doesn't parse this segment. 0-30. Multiple Modalities: A selection of mammoth points in six modalities.
January 19, 2017: Mano: Correction: I had originally listed Irribarria-Rezusta's record at the halfway point of the Parejas Competition as 5-2. Their record is 6-1. The error has been corrected. Binakako Txapelketako/Campionato Parejas--Week 7
January 18, 2017: Main Nue: Added a link to Esku Pilota Spreadsheet of H. Ocafrain Garat "Lundi" statistics for Benesse v Palomes Group B Championnat de France Individuel competition match of January 16. I copied these out to the post on January 17. I will leave both copies on the post. Main Nue--FFPB Championnat de France Elite Pro Individual--Results of January 16, 2017
January 16, 2017: Pala: Added match articles for both matches (source: InnPala Fronton Facebook page) of the first round of the Mundial Individual 2017 tournament.
January 16, 2017: Remonte: Correction. For January 12, 2017, Azpiroz victory in the front court was his 3rd consecutive. I had it listed as 2nd consecutive. The error was caused by the fact that his 1st and 2nd consecutive front court victories were spread across monthly tables. Recurring Galarreta Star Matches page. Correction has been made.
January 16, 2017: Remonte: Correction: For January 10, 2017 3rd Galarreta match, Etxeberria IV was listed (according to my scoring) as having 11 two wall winners. I miscounted. He had 10. MY ARTICLE: Enhanced Linescore E IV-EIII v S-I and Recurring Galarreta Star Matches page. Correction has been made.
January 11, 2017: Main Nue: Changed the way players will be listed on the "Main Nue: Cumulative records of Esku Pilota players" page. Removed possible listing in both categories list explanation. Players will remain in the assigned categories (A or B). Type of match they played will be listed along with the win-loss record.
January 9, 2017: Remonte: Correction: On the recurring results page: "Remonte: Galarreta "STAR" matches , for the Star Match entry of December 31, 2016. The entry mentioned that Endika had played Ion in the final of the Masters Individual Oriamendi Tournament 2 years ago. They played in a semi-final. The error has been corrected.
January 8, 2017: Main Nue: Changed the link to FFPB results of the FFPB Championnat de France Elite Pro Individual "A" and "B" competitions. The direct .pdf results link appears to change every time new results are added. The date is embedded in the link and that is the part that changes. This makes it too inconvienient to provide a direct link, as it would have to be changed retrospectively when I link every round to earlier rounds in the blog. There is a concept in the library world called PURL (Persistent URL). FFPB might want to look into its utility. FFPB results are still linked through blog posts because they are still the best and most convenient way to follow the tournament. Thanks to FFPB for providing them. FFPB Championnat de France Elite Pro Individual "A" and "B" competitions begins.
January 7, 2017: Main Nue: Added a note explaining that Youtube segments, as I do them now, may not resolve properly in certain browsers or smart phone apps. I have provided times so that readers who use those browsers or apps can simply move the slider bar to the times indicated. I will be noting times on Youtube segments from this point forward.

January 4, 2017: Main Nue: Added an explanation for the rescheduling of the Super Prestige final from January 8 to January 22, 2017. The delay is due to a hand injury to Baptiste Ducassou. Trinquet Garat Super Prestige singles tournament--Semi-finals

January 1, 2017: Pala: Corrected the winners and table for InnPala Player win-loss table and independent matches through Dec. 30, 2016. Original source for the winners and score of the independent match Landeta-Imanol v Zubiri--Ibai- Perez was Diario Vasco Cartelera (Dec. 31, 2016) which had the correct score but the winners reversed. Landeta-Imanol won the match 3-1 (10-8, 7-10, 10-9, 10-7). Table has been changed to reflect the correction. Actual winners were correctly identified by InnPala.com and the full match video provided by EITB.
December 30, 2016: Jai Alai/Cesta Punta: Error correction. In the Dania Jai Alai team competition, Hollywood clinched the title after G6 of the Saturday Evening, December 10, 2016 performance.

It appears in the section covering the CORO, which appears just below the "December" (2016) marker on the page. The second match was a replacement match for the other first semi-final between Urriza-Zubiri and Ezkurra II-Ion (postponed due to a neck injury that Urriza suffered in an auto accident).
