Tournament Results






These Guys went "ALL OUT",  Kevin Bott (with one of his many dives) playing Steve Daw 

The Racquetball Madness Tournament was a great time had by all.  It was one of the the funnest tournaments I have been to just because of all of the local talent that participated.  One person commented that for such a small community we have GREAT racquetball talent, another wanted us to have the tournament monthly or quarterly.  We had 34 participants, all from the Idaho Falls and Rexburg area.  During the tournament we also had an exhibition of British Racquetball, a variation of racquetball played in other areas.  If you want to get a workout this is the game to play.  Gene Hayes, recently moved from Arizona, and brought it to our club where it has been a hit.  Thanks to everyone that participated and also to our sponsors. Here is a list of the tournament results.

Racquetball Madness starts this evening at 5:00 pm.  We had an overwhelming amount of participation this year with over 30 local racquetball players coming out of the woodwork.  There will be all levels of racquetball play from Novice to open (with the open players playing a variation of racquetball called British racquetball).  Play will go Thursday & Friday from 5:00 pm to 11:00 pm and all day Saturday.  Come and support your local players and enjoy the fun.  Even I will be playing in the novice division which should be lots of laughs.  Fun Times.
