TEQUILA DON RAMON SOUTHWEST OPEN SQUASH TOURNAMENT SEPTEMBER 23RD – 26TH TEMPE, AZ

Not long now before a first in Arizona history there will be a full scale women’s professional tour event (WISPA). Complementing this, at the request of the US Squash Women’s Committee, a women’s 3 a-side event will take place as a warm-up to the Howe Cup November 5th-7th, Rye, NY. This will be great preparation for those planning to send teams to NY but it will also give the women of Arizona a chance to see and learn about the benefits of squash and some of the best amateur players in the USA.

Not forgetting the men, they will also have a part in the Tequila Don Ramon Southwest Open Squash with their own divisions of 2.5 to 6.0 level of players. The Tournament will be played at Life Time Fitness, 1616 W Ruby Drive, Tempe, where there are 4 international courts. The Club will also close off one of the two basketball courts thus allowing the squash players more room to stretch, food areas, tournament director’s work station, kids’ bouncy castle and a players’ video booth.

Time flies and it will soon be time for the Summer Games, the event will again be held at Life Time Fitness in Tempe June 4th-6th.

This time we will have an Olympic format which means you are guaranteed 3 matches with a maximum of 5. For those of you who remember the format from 2 years ago there will be a slight change Last time we ad 2 groups of 32 n A and a B group, it will be the same again but the last 8 from the A group and the top 8 from the B group will merge into one (potentially meaning 6 matches for that division) Sign up using the rating system and then the top 32 will go into the A division and the next 32 in the B’s. First 64 players only

EXTRA NEWS I have been asked to add a junior novice section so your wishes have been granted, there is an extra division and it is free to juniors

All players who enter before May 1st will go into a prize draw for a gift card to The Cheesecake Factory Attached is the link http://www.r2sports.com/tourney/home.asp?TID=6896

Thanks TIna
