Vintage championship games and virtual presentations on Saturday and Sunday August 8-9, ‘The Best Weekend of the Year,’ highlight the 2020 edition of the Travis Roy Foundation WIFFLE Ball Tournament, the 19th annual. Sadly due to he COVID-19 pandemic, the in-person tourney is on hold this summer but we will still get together virtually over great WIFFLE ball to help the cause of helping spinal cord injury survivors.
The official web-streaming home of the tourney since 2010, Pack Network will air a virtual production of the past 10 championship games starting Wednesday August 5th at 7 p.m. (all times eastern), with lively commentary by participants and others. Saturday August 8th at noon will be highlights with commentary by participants of all other teams along with interviews with celebrities from the sports and entertainment world. Sunday at 3 p.m. will be the final title game replay before an interview at 4 p.m with former Sports Illustrated writer E.M. Swift, co-author on Travis Roy’s best selling book, ‘Eleven Seconds: A Story of Tragedy, Courage and Triumph’. At 5 p.m. will be the annual ‘Money Count’ speech and recognition of top fundraisers in 2020. The annual remarks by Travis will wrap up the weekend.
Special thanks to Adam Polgreen of Pack Network, producer of the weekend’s virtual event and producer of tournament action. Also for the first time, the TRF WIFFLE Ball coverage will air on all Pack Network apps (iPhone/iPad, Apple TV, Android, Android TV, Amazon Fire, Roku) by searching Pack Network in those respective app areas for those devices.
