2014 PASO Sports Festival - Day 1 Results

The first day of competition at the Pan American Sport Organization (PASO) Sports Festival racquetball in Guadalajara is over, and there was only one upset, as the players began three days of pool play to set up the seedings for an elimination round of competition that will conclude next Saturday.

The upset happened in Men's Doubles, where Fernando Rios and Jose Daniel Ugalde of Ecuador beat Conrado Moscoso and Mario Mercado of Bolivia, 14-15, 15-1, 11-4.

Also notable is that the Venezuelan team seems to be absent from Guatemala, so there are several wins by default on the board.
