This is a win-win situation for the Beach Ball Classic, HTC and the fans,” said Tom Vitt, HTC Director of Marketing. “Online viewership of the tournament has risen every year and the 2008 Beach Ball Classic was no exception with our records indicating more than 42,000 pageviews and in excess of 13,000 visitorsin the United States and hundreds more from overseas logged on for the 2008 tournament. Statistics continue to prove that the demand for online viewing is there and this option is critical to families and fans that are unable to attend the tournament in person.”
