Notes on source reliability
While the existence of a 2006 edition of the Pan American Men’s Handball Championship is acknowledged in several sports archives, detailed data—such as exact venue, match results, and final rankings—are not uniformly available in major reference works (e.g., peer‑reviewed publications, official PATHF releases, or widely cited encyclopedic entries).
