    RACQUETBALL PLAYERS OF ALL COURTS, GET READY TO PLAY OUTDOOR RACQUETBALL ON THE LAS VEGAS STRIP!!!

    World Outdoor Racquetball (WOR) and the World Players of Handball (WPH) are hosting the "2010 WORLD 3 WALL BALL CHAMPIONSHIPS", the largest outdoor racquetball/handball event ever on September 23rd-26th, 2010. At least ten portable outdoor courts will be built in a parking lot right in front of the event's Host Hotel, the spectacular Stratosphere Hotel & Casino. Prize money will be in excess as over $45,000 in cash prize money will be paid out in the professional and open divisions. Along with WOR and the WPH, the Classic Professional Racquetball Tour (CPRT), Military Racquetball Federation (MRF), National Police Racquetball Association (NPRA) and World Firefighter Racquetball Association (WFRA) will be represented with divisions at the World 3 Wall Ball Championships. The event will provide charitable contributions to the National Fibromyalgia Research Association

    Racquetball Professionals already confirmed for this event are; Rocky Carson (IRT), Jose Rojas (IRT), Greg Solis (WOR), Craig "Clubber" Lane (WOR), Kevin Booth (WOR), Mike Peters (WOR), Robert "Iceman" Sostre (WOR), Cliff Swain (CPRT), Woody Clouse (CPRT), Brett Harnett (CPRT), Rhonda Rajsich (WPRO), Paola Longoria (WPRO) and Aimee Ruiz (WPRO). You can expect this list to grow considerably over the next few months!!

    COURT DIMENSIONS: The dimensions will be the same as the courts on PCH in Newport Beach, CA. If you're an outdoor player from So Cal then you know what I'm talking about. For non So Cal players, this means the courts will have the following dimensions.

    • 23 ft. wide
    • 40 ft long
    • 20 ft long side walls
    • 20 ft tall front wall tapering down to 10 ft along the side walls

    BALL: The official ball of the 2010 World 3 Wall Championships will be the Ektelon Fireball (Red).

    SANCTIONING: All players must be members of WOR. The annual cost for this membership is $15.

    Please make sure to check all of the information on the sign up site, especially the awesome number of divisions being offered at this event. Las Vegas is a 24 hour city and if this event draws a large number of racquetball and handball players then play can expect to extend into the early morning hours. How cool would it be to have a midnight match on the Las Vegas Strip?? I can't think of anything much cooler than that in racquetball. I'll be there for sure!! As the Event Liason, please contact me if you have any questions or comments. You can reach me at ellistyle@comcast.net or (209) 969-4497.

    Keep em rollin or hit em out the door!!...............
