2015 Pan American Championships Day 1

The XXVIII Pan American Racquetball Championships begin Saturday in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The tournament format is three days of preliminary group play followed by an elimination round. Action begins Saturday.

In a twist from past events Saturday's matches are going to be between the #1 and #2 seeds in each group. In previous years, the #1 and #2 seeds would have played on the 3rd day, but this year they are playing on the 1st day.

There are eight groups in Men's and Women's Singles and four in each of Men's and Women's Doubles.
