Good to know:

Started 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 $300,000 toward that effort.
