Important Information Regarding The MaxxAthlete Webcasting!
Our contract with MaxxAthlete states that there will be live webcasting. Unfortunately when the MaxxAthlete staff arrived they had some technology issues and have not been able to broadcast the events live. All matches that have been contracted for as well as many others will be available on line after the event. We, of the JVA, are very disappointed that they have not been able to meet all expectations. It is their first year with our event, we believe they can offer a valuable service to our customers and we are confident they will be able to correct this issue for future events.
