Good to know:

Since its first regional playing in 1985, this tournament has developed into the most prestigious premier event for senior men and women.

In 1989, the event had grown so large, and drawn such a talented field, that it was recognized by the International Racquetball Federation as a designated world championship.

The round-robin format provides quantity; the competitors provide the quality. Tournament staff and volunteers provide great hospitality; players and spectators provide the premier competition and camaraderie.

Together with sponsors and contributors, the event supports the Olympic Dream for racquetball, and has raised over $250,000 toward that effort.
