2019 Arizona IRT Pro-Am - Preview

The International Racquetball Tour (IRT) goes to Arizona for the first time since 2003, as the Arizona IRT Pro-Am begins Thursday in Tempe, Arizona. The tournament schedule is slightly different, as there will be two qualifying rounds on Thursday, which is common, but the Round of 32 will be on Friday morning. The top 8 seeds are still seeded into the Round of 16 on Friday afternoon and evening. The quarterfinals will be Saturday morning with the semi-finals at 5 and 6 PM Saturday and the final on Sunday at noon.

The top 8 ranked IRT players will be in Tempe, led by IRT #1 Kane Waselenchuk, who’s coming off his 15th US Open championship - won earlier this month in Minneapolis. Also in the draw are IRT #2 Rocky Carson, #3 Alejandro Landa, and #4 Alvaro Beltran, as well as US Open finalist Conrrado Moscoso, and 7 other top 20 players in a field of 37 players overall.

Look for all the action via the usual IRT media outlets: The IRT YouTube channel or the IRT Facebook page. There will be two rounds of qualifying Thursday starting at noon. The Round of 32 begins Friday morning at 9 AM with the Round of 16 Friday starting at 4 PM. The quarterfinals begin at 9 AM Saturday with the semi-finals at 5 & 6 PM Saturday, and the final at noon Sunday. All times Mountain.
