IRF 2016 World Junior Championships - Players by group

Here’s a run down of the players at the 28th International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Racquetball Championships in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. There will be a group stage of play with two or three matches for each player, and the results of that round will be used to seed players for an elimination round.

Note, the seedings for the group stage are based on each respective country’s performance in that division at last year’s World Junior Championship. If a country had two players in a division, then both players’ performances are included in the country’s seeding for this year.

Thus, although Ana Gabriela Martinez of Guatemala won Girl’s U16 last year, she is the second seed this year, because last year’s USA players’ performances - combined - were better than Guatemala’s performances.

There will be live streaming of matches from San Luis Potosi via the IRF YouTube channel.
