Racquetball anyone?

dust off the old racquet and tube of blue balls!! its racquetball time!!!

it seems to me that every time i play racquetball, there are at least 5 other people that want to go. unfortunately, its tough since its at most a 4 person game, so someone will pretty much always get left out.
so i have an idea. im considering organizing the first (hopefully of many) trumpet racquetball tournament! not only would this be a blast, but it should be relatively safe. maybe we could actually have an event withOUT an injury...

depending on the level of interest, we can do both a singles and doubles bracket, with prizes of some sort for each. and i think we could do this regularly (once a month, every other month, or just once per semester...) if we have fun with it.

before we can start the planning though, i need to know who would be interested in such an event. so if you are interested, leave a post here or find me at practice and let me know. right now i just need a headcount to see if its even worth planning. we can work out the details later.

I've never actually...you know...played.
But I'd like to try, if someone could cover the rules and everything for me.

so far i count 7 people interested. i figure we need at least 8 to do a tournament, that would give us 3 rounds, but i would really like to see upwards of 12 or more. tell your friends!

Count me in. I've never played doubles, but I'd be willing to try.
