Yes it is still on last i heard. three days ago, and its still a tier 1...good luck to all in beating kane..

I hope Kane doesn't attend so one of the other players has an opportunity to win an event, he already has the season title wrapped up. I'm very disappointed the IRT does not have a special Grand slam type season ending event like Pro Nationals, but it has been a great season none the less!. It will be interesting to see if Kane attends this tournament. I believe Kane has not attended a pro stop out of the country since he was suspended and re-instated. He did not attend the pro stops in Canada or Mexico the last couple of years that he has been back on tour. May have something to do with those pesky drug tests.

Best part of the announcement I saw was that Alvero was going to be there! Woot!

I wasn't sure if this would still be happening due to crazy amount of violence in that area of Mexico.

Very suspicious!
None of the usual entry form links and draw info. is visible at the IRT home page.
No mention at all except in the schedule which may not have been updated if it was a late cancel.

Jason,

As commissioner can you provide any information on this tournament? Does anyone know for sure that it is being held?

Anyone besides me hoping Tiger shoots a couple of 80's and misses the cut at the Masters.That way he can spend the weekend with the waitress over at The Waffle House LOL

The reason there is NO entry form on the IRT home page is because they did not get one to me.

Since we now know the Mexico Open is going to take place, how about a little prognostication. I think Jack will get his game back together this week and make the qtrs. I think Kane,Jason and Rocky will fill out the qtrs. If an upset occurs, I believe Ben will be the one to do it. Kane and Jack in the finals, with Jack taking Kane to 4 games.
Kane keeps the yellow jersey going.

Not sure what burburi was sayin - but I agree - unless Kane has an injury I believe we all know whats gonna happen - until the rest of the pack ups their level or Kane losses interest and slacks off - it will be the same result

burburi · Posted April 13, 2010 by burburi

I agree with the post that said that Kane won't show up at this pro stop. So most likely Rocky will come on top. Jack hasan't been playing his best racquetball this season maybe that injury is not helping.

I was surprised not to see Polo and Jose in the draw.

Well smart alec, he showed and won. Don't try and make something out of nothing, just because he didn't go to other tournaments that were out of the country. Let it go! If your a true fan of racquetball you always want the best player to show, and I'm sure the other pros also want him there because you/they never know the turn out. I bet they would want the bragging rights to say they beat him. If your not a Kane fan then fine, but stop taking little digs.
All I can say is, 54-0 season babY
