“Jai-alai Springfest” Tournament Set for Cancun Jai-alai
There is another tournament coming up – and this one is soon. This one is being held at in Cancun, Mexico at Fronton Salas in Quintana Roo.
The dates are set for the weekend of March 14-16th. It will be an international-friendly tournament.
Registration is by couples with a competition system set according to those registered. Once registration is closed, a system will be determined and will be communicated in advance.
According to their press release, there will be a First and Second “force”. Each couple will suggest in which strength they want to participate. According to the registered players, the acceptance of the suggested force will evaluated as well as the possibility of opening an extra force following the main objective of coexistence and fair play.
Partido’s will start at 10am with prior registration of pelotaris per day at 9am.
The deadline to register is February 24th. The host of the tournament is Fernando Gonzalez.
There are two registration fee packages:
Package A (all inclusive)

From the United States, we do know Rastock, RG3 and Belota are likely going and George San Juan from Miami and others likely going. I have been supplying the pelota’s they use for the past several years at this new court and their previous one and glad to donate the trophy tops of the jai-alai figurine to my good friends out there, the Salas family.
