At the start of 2018 we decided to make some important changes. Most notable of these were the addition of Series culminating in an end of year series leader board and including doubles at many of the events. Both of these proved to be very popular and have been rolled out for 2019.
This coming year will see some equally important and exciting changes which we hope will prove to be yet another positive step forward for our sport. The biggest changes are those effecting The Racketball/ Squash57 Nationals and Inter-Counties follow the links for more information. 2019 UK-Racketball Series The final change for 2019 is something that you will notice straight away when you see the tournament calendar. We have decided to change individual events names to reflect the regional aspect of the competition. The main motivation for this came when players asked us to maintain a more UK wide inclusive spread of tournaments so that all regions had the opportunity to host an event. For example The Devon and Exeter Racketball Open from 2018 will be renamed the South West of England Racketball Open. The event structure will be the same in Devon as it has been for the past 7 years but we hope that the new name reflects that this is the biggest Racketball tournament in the South West.
