Just confirmed with PanamSports, basketball being removed is not an error, its legitimate. 

Im shocked.

They have 20+ federations however, + other countries like Canada/USA probably voted to include since its on the Olympic program. 

Curious to see what an 8 team tournament would be made up of for each gender. I am all for it if it gives the smaller Caribbean countries chances to qualify a team such as  and  

 

Yeah, for the purpose of the Pan Am Games (and the Olympics) the West Indies team will be separate so there are in fact a lot of teams that could compete.

 

If we have an 8-team tournament we'd likely see host  join  for both the men and women's tournaments with and  rounding out the men's and women's teams respectively. ,  or maybe one of the minor West Indies nations could also qualify

Did they give a reason for basketball’s non inclusion? It’s baffling that Pan Am Sports would remove the sport.

I have heard FIBA demanded an U-20 tournament, which Panamsports refused to entertain.

The first set of quotas are awarded to the gold medalists of the following events. These are tied to the athlete by name. Should their respective NOC decline the quota or the athlete is selected from a different quota, then the quota is lost and will not be reallocated to the silver medalist.

The second set of quotas are awarded to the gold medalists of the following events. These are given to the NOC where they may select athletes not from the gold medal winning team. If the quota is declined by the NOC, it will not be reallocated to the silver medalist.

 

Field Hockey - M&W Tournament

Handball - M&W Tournament

Rugby Sevens - M&W Tournament

 

In volleyball, things are a bit different, the quotas in M&W Beach Volleyball and M&W Indoor Volleyball will be given to the highest ranked teams in CSV and NORCECA.

 

Funny enough, the gold medalists of 3x3 basketball would have qualified, but the sport has been dropped.

Very nice. These are very cheap sports to host with a long history at the Pan American Games so I'm glad they remain.

 

 

Too bad FIBA won't let us host a senior tournament

Official logo, "a design that highlights its identity, the road to Los Angeles 2028, and the most important symbol of Peruvians, Machu Picchu". Sadly I don't think the result was very good...

So should logo be changed in the first post?
