It has been said that, ‘Rome was not built in a day.’ And so it is true for winning handball tournaments. At the one day Maryland State Singles 4-Wall Tournament held at Saverna Park Racquet and Fitness Club, a small tournament draw meant easier playing schedule but not necessarily easier competition. As always, the Open division was stocked with elite talent represented by ages ranging from the late 20s to late 40s. Next, the combined Masters & B division offered the smallest draw but was large on talent. The 60+ division was a tough bracket because the talent pool here was so evenly matched. Then there was the C division, a pool stocked with young up and coming talent.
