Join us in celebrating our return to Pennsylvania after almost 40 years since the NMRA was created. The NMRA tournament was the first national Racquetball tournament offered for players 45+ years of age.
Eligibility: Men and Women racquetball players, 45 to 90+ years young.
You may enter a maximum of two divisions (two doubles or one singles + one doubles).
We can help find you a doubles partner and/or roommate.
Divisions are separated into five-year increments (45 to 49, 50 to 54, 55 to 59, etc.)
All matches are round robins and self-refereed. Matches are two games to 15 points with no tiebreaker.
NMRA medals will be awarded to First- through Fourth- place winners for each age division.
Combined divisions will be awarded medals based on separate age divisions.
