Results and credits

This independent USWA celebration credits the athletes and the tournament’s organizers. Results were checked September 23, 2026. Division listings are transcribed from Handball Vault’s public records for tournament 49831; the eight Open winners are also confirmed by the USHA recap. Those sources retain credit for their reporting and records.

The Men’s Small Ball 40+ doubles winner is not stated in the reviewed record, so no champion is named here. The Men’s Big Ball B singles bracket contains an early-round advancement discrepancy; the champion listed here is the explicitly recorded final winner. We will update unresolved details when confirmed.
