2008 Regional Qualifiers Start

April 15th, 2008 by Geoff Thomsen

The 2008 USA Racquetball Regional qualifying events have started!  There are 13 events throughout the US which serve as qualifiers for the National Singles Championships, which are May 21st – 26th in Houston, TX.  Below is a list of the participants in each region.  Chicago comes in at the #1 spot, however, the numbers are somewhat higher here as this is also the second biggest IRT stop of the year – IRT Pro Nationals.  Oregon comes in at a close second (just a few entries short, without a single Pro!).  I believe Mike Boatman will be covering the action in Chicago, and I plan to attend the Oregon event for at least a day to capture some action in the semis.  If anyone gets the final numbers for Missouri, leave a comment below so I can update the info.

  • Chicago (also Men’s Pro Nationals)- 252
  • Oregon – 246
  • Maryland – 136
  • Florida – 130
  • California – 116
  • Georgia – 110
  • Ohio Regional – 101
  • Louisiana (also Women’s Pro Nationals) – 94
  • Kansas – 78
  • New York – 37
  • Texas – 37
  • New Hampshire – 30
  • Missouri

    Hey Geoff,
