If you want to play handball and are not particularly in need of referees and trophies, Missoula, Montana is the place and the Red Death is the tournament. More than 80 players from Montana, Idaho, Washington and British Columbia converged on the Peak Racquet Club for a weekend of sweat, beer and a plain good time. The unique doubles format allowed 32 teams from all age groups to compete together.
The 14th annual (not necessarily consecutive) Red Death Handball tournament was held January 24-26, 2014.
