Carson, who will be 44 in May, is playing a reduced schedule, because other things are a higher priority in his life. He competed at the USA Racquetball Doubles Championships last month, so he's still trying to earn a spot on Team USA this year, but playing at every IRT event isn't in the cards.The Racquetball Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838611322434995656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7232787713283993396.post-58243420861864727722023-03-02T18:13:57.682-06:002023-03-02T18:13:57.682-06:00Seems like unlike other more publicly popular spor...Seems like unlike other more publicly popular sports it's difficult to find stories or backstories about racquetball players.

Why would they possibly have put in a real score instead of the actual result?<br /><br />The worst case of this was an older tournament where I reported one result in a final ... wrote the recap, published it, entered it into the database ... then got comments saying that I had the score and winner wrong. Turns out they entered the data incorrectly. Of course, I was the one who got accused of "getting it wrong" and making a mistake.

But as I referenced in a previous post Chicago recommended against gatherings of over 250 people prior to start of the tournament. From <a href="https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/cdph/provdrs/health_protection_and_response/news/2020/march/state-of-illinois-and-city-of-chicago-issue-new-guidance-to-mini.html" rel="nofollow">a City of Chicago press release on Thursday March 12</a>: "the State and the City are encouraging that community events of 250 people or more should be cancelled or postponed until May 1." The Shamrock Shootout could have been cancelled on Friday, with a split of the prize money equally between who was left in the draw at that point. Look, I'm not in your country, so I'm not hearing what you're hearing. We had a local junior racquetball event for about 25 kids scheduled for Saturday the 14th, and we cancelled it on the 13th, because based on the information we had that was the best decision. It wasn't a happy choice, but it was the right choice.The Racquetball Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03838611322434995656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7232787713283993396.post-49899483339257763102020-03-20T11:14:38.067-05:002020-03-20T11:14:38.067-05:00By no means am I a right-wing corona virus denier....By no means am I a right-wing corona virus denier.<br /><br />But I have no problem with the Chicago-based event going on the way it did. They went by the best information AT THE TIME. Its important to consider just how fast changing knowledge was happening throughout the last two weeks. To wit ... the LPRT Boston Open finished 4 days before the Chicago event started, but NOBODY ever mentioned any idea of cancelling. That's how much changed in 4 days, and how much things have now changed in the last 14 some-odd days. You just cannot pass judgement on someone making a decision on Wednesday 3/12/20 based on information we now know on 3/20/20.<br /><br />The Tourney director was on record as saying the following (this is his quote):<br /><br />"At the time, the official edict in Illinois was no gatherings over 1,000 people. Maybe 400 or so people went thru the club over the weekend. Lots of soap and sanitizer available."<br /><br />So, irrespective of what the WHO said as guidelines ... this is the USA; there's (still!) no federal guidelines for this disease. So its state-to-state. So the state guidelines were the ones in force. And the tournament abided by what hte state of Illinois said as of the wednesday before the event.Todd Bosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02588001750834983356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7232787713283993396.post-22092744491939279952020-01-14T15:19:29.662-06:002020-01-14T15:19:29.662-06:00Couldn't agree more m- he should be in the HOF...Couldn't agree more m- he should be in the HOF. Still love watching old video of Jack play Cliff, Jason and Sudsy in particular. They were WARS. Jack won many of them due to conditioning level. I contend that if a few of the current IRT players would take their cardio fitness as seriously as Jack did they'd have a better chance against the top 4 - including Kane. millheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10285385418476924482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7232787713283993396.post-34243853214615011722019-09-29T07:28:32.047-05:002019-09-29T07:28:32.047-05:00Update; my personal xls was missing some points fo...Update; my personal xls was missing some points for Andree for non-tier 1s last season, and that was enough to push him back into #3 for this event.
