Ghost of Georgetown - Preliminary Rounds

The draw for the 12th Annual Ghost of Georgetown / Kansas City Pro-Am presented by Novasors has been released. This kicks off the International Racquetball Tour's (IRT's) 2011-2012 season.

This is the season that Ruben Gonzalez, at 59, is trying to make the top 10 by year's end, when he is to retire at age 60. His quest begins with a match against 20th seed Sebastian Franco, who played seven events last season but never advanced past the round of 32 (i.e., never made the main round of 16).

If Gonzalez defeats Franco, he'll likely face Mexican veteran Javier Moreno in the final qualifying round. That will be for a chance to play Chris Crowther in the 16s.

The IRT Network is webcasting the Ghost of Georgetown beginning today at 10 PM CDT with the Round of 32, and carrying on with the main draw on Friday when the Round of 16 begins at 11:30 AM.
