The New Hampshire Racquetball Association is introducing a new event to the schedule this season. The NHRA Open series will be a series of (4) 1-day shoot-out type tournaments. Each event will be independent with its own prize money and winners but the players that earn the most series points after all 4 events will win the series prize. You can enter just 1 event or all 4. Each player will be guarunteed a minimum of 3 matches and it will take 5 or 6 matches to win. Be prepared for a full day of hard racquetball!!!

All players will start out in the Gold Division. If a player loses in the first round of the Gold Division, the players is moved down to the Silver Division. If a player loses in the second round of the Gold Division or the first round of the Silver Division that player will move down to the Bronze division. If a player loses in any division after that they are done for the day. Prize money will be offered to the first and second place players in all three divisions. The cost of each event is $40 and includes Gatoraid, oranges and bananas all day and pizza for lunch.

As this is our first time putting on this event it will be limited to the first 32 players entering the tournament so that we can make sure that this can be completed on time in one day.

Just an update on the first event of the series. As of Today there are 32 Players registered and I have an absolute cutoff at 40 players since this needs to get done in 1 day. I won't name the players in the draw but 8 are ranked below 200 nationally and we have players from NH, MA, CT and RI.

If interested get in now as there are only 2 days left.

If you can't play but want to see the best racquetball around I invite you all to stop by the Nashua Athletic Club in Nashua New Hampshire and take in a few matches. Matches start at 9am and will run at least until 5pm.
