Racquetball in Canada vs. Racquetball in United States

Goal: go to 5 or 6 USRA tournaments per year and try to improve my ranking in the 50+ in USA. It's not easy. Jeff Stark just turned 50, and Doug Ganim, Keith Minor, and Brad McCunniff are really good. I had the privilege of watching them all play at the 2018 US Open. At the US Open I was up 10 to 6 in the tiebreaker against 12th ranked 50+ Alok Mehta, but blew that lead.

The US Open is real racquetball. The players in Alberta, Canada that played in the Open division in Alberta tournaments who also played in the C division at the US Open could not win even that division. We're talking 4 to 5 divisions difference. That's amazing!

The divisions are IRT Pro, Open, Elite, AA, A, B, C, D.

Going to Portland to play in the Pro Kennex Nov. 29-Dec. 2, 2018 to play in the 50+ and Men's Open, and watch Kane Waselenchuk of course. Canadian 50+ is really boring. I came in 2nd in the 50+ at the 2018 World Seniors in Albuquerque, NM. The elevation there makes ceiling balls very difficult. Still adjusting.

Once you turn 80, racquetball is pretty much dead at the US Open because I noticed Jack McBride won the 80+ division but there were only two entrants in that division.

So the way I see it is I have about 30 years of racquetball since I am 51 now.
