A big World Outdoor Racquetball (WOR) tournament happened on the weekend in Las Vegas. Several indoor players were in attendance, and scooped up most of the hardware. Rocky Carson won the men's singles title in a squeaker against Alvaro Beltran. He took it 15-3, 14-15, 11-10.
In the semis, Carson defeated Chris Crowther, 15-3, 15-5, while Beltran had a walkover win against Jason Geis.
Beltran and Geis teamed on the doubles side and defeated Carson on the way to taking the title. They beat Carson and Son Nguyen, 15-5, 15-12 in one semi, while Crowther and Huczek beat Mike Green and Cliff Swain in the other, 15-13, 5-15, 11-10.
In the final, Beltran and Geis defeated Crowther and Huczek in two straight games, 15-13, 15-11.
Similar results on the women's side as the singles winner didn't also take the doubles title. Rhonda Rajsich won singles, defeating Jack Paraiso in the final by injury default. But in doubles Rajsich and Aimee Ruiz lost to Paola Longoria and Keely Franks, 15-6, 15-7.
There was also a Classic Pro Racquetball (CPRT) doubles event, which was won by Cliff Swain and Craig Lane. They defeated Robert Sostre and Fred Ramieez in the final, 7-15, 15-3, 11-10.
