Running a racquetball event in Colorado? Here's how to plan it, pick a format and run it on Colorado Under Par, start to finish.

What it looks like

Racquetball events in Colorado are indoor club tournaments and leagues held year round at fitness centers and rec centers, with singles and doubles players.

Formats

Singles

One player against another in a four-wall court.

Doubles

Two-player teams share the court, alternating rallies.

Mixed Doubles

Teams are one man and one woman, playing the standard doubles format.

Round Robin

Players are grouped into pools and everyone plays everyone in their pool.

Single Elimination

Players are seeded into a bracket, and a single loss means they are out.

Double Elimination

Players drop to a second bracket after one loss and are out after two.

League

Players meet weekly for scheduled matches against others at similar levels, with standings over a season.

Kill Shot Target

Tape a small target low on the front wall, and every hit wins a prize. Players line up between matches for one more try.

Pledge Per Point

Supporters pledge a set amount for every point their player scores. Every rally matters, and friends watch through the glass to cheer.

Floor Burn Award

The player with the most dives earns a gag trophy for effort. It celebrates hustle and always gets a laugh at the awards.
