Is anyone having trouble accessing the IRT website? I'm getting an error message...
So it's going to snow like crazy on the east coast, I'm heading to Maui. Anyone know of courts there? I'm going from 31-Dec until 8-Jan.
Merry Christmas!

So the new IRT website has gone live. Thoughts?
I like the way the results are being shown now: http://www.irt-tour.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=125:colombia-grand-slam&catid=3:newsflash
I'm tired of downloading a PDF 15 times per weekend to see if the matches have been updated!

Any predictions for the upcoming season?
Will Kane have such a dominant season? Hold on to first place?
What is the over/under on his tournament wins this year?

On June 12 I'll be heading to Spain for 2.5 months. Does anyone know (or have traveled) to Madrid and played there? I'm not sure if I should bring any racquetball stuff or not and wanted some informed opinions.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Is Florida a go this week?
I just received my USAR magazine in the mail and as I read through it, one of the pages near the end really caught my attention.
The page notified the members of the new rates for 2009 and also the responsibilities of the governing body and the members. Many of the things that the membership is responsible for should be administered by the USAR. If you haven't received your magazine, you can view an online sample that shows the page I am referring to by going to the last page here: http://usra.org/Portals/18/docs/magazinepreview/novdec08magpreview.pdf
Clubs and Grassroots Level Responsible for:
• Consulting to venues (clubs, universities, YMCAs, etc.) relative to maintaining courts and offering racquetball as a viable fitness choice.
• Creating and maintaining the rules and regulations of the sport.
• Developing standards for racquetball products (e.g. eye guards, racquets and balls) and enforcing the standards.
• Collecting and disseminating information (e.g. demographics, fitness facts, fitness norms research).
• Providing certification and continuing education for instructors.
• The protection of sponsors, event directors, and club owners by providing liability and participant insurance accompanied by risk management information and guidelines.
• Providing leadership and guidance to assist state associations with local development and promotion.
• Tracking and monitoring records, and archiving the history of the sport.
• Developing processes and mechanisms to ensure current and future financial stability (e.g. USAR Foundation).
• Providing mechanisms (e.g. portable court, TV, on-line broadcast, website) to bring the sport to the masses.
Elite and National Level Responsible for:
• Providing competitive opportunities for all levels of play (e.g. junior, collegiate, seniors, masters).
• Formation and promotion of national teams (junior and adult).
• Guaranteeing participation at international events (e.g. World Games, World Championships, Pan American Games, Pan American
Championships).
• Developing and maintaining a pipeline of development from junior to elite player.
• Creating scholarship opportunities to encourage and assist athletes with higher education.
• Maintaining a drug-free environment for competitive play.
• Recognizing outstanding achievement within the sport (Hall of Fame, Age group and Elite athlete recognition).
• Maintaining a leadership position within the international community.
Does anyone else feel that many of the grassroots player responsibilities should actually be listed under the Elite and National Level Responsibilities? Do I expect too much from the USAR?

I want to have a topic where everyone shows pictures of themselves / children / spouses playing racquetball.
We all talk a lot- let's put some racquetball related pictures of ourselves on the site.
I'm in the white shirt.

Is it possible to have people not earn points for posting once they reach a certain number of points?
There have been several "point padding" post discussions going around- this may be able to address it.
We can just pick an arbitrary number- 750, 1000, 2000- whatever, once you reach that many points, then making discussion posts will not add to your point score...
