This will be a bullet point post of all sorts of IRT and Pro Racquetball Stats references that you may or may not know about. Enjoy!
– The 2022 season ending standings were finalized at the end of the final event of the 2022 season, the John Pelham Memorial in Portland. Those rankings are here https://irttour.com/rankings/ .
We’ve captured the year end rankings to the database now, and the rankings now flow to Seasonal and Player reports.

At the bottom of the main Report page for the IRT, I have a slew of text files that i’ve maintained for more than 20 years now. These links often go over looked but I thought i’d do a quick run through them here:
Surf to https://www.proracquetballstats.com/…/results_front_new… and go to the very bottom.
– Year End Title Winners: updated for DLR’s 2022 win. https://www.proracquetballstats.com/irt/year_end_titles.html
– Detailed Season by Season Narratives: this is a very detailed document where I keep a running list of “tour news” about players and the sport. I’ve been able to keep this going for more than 15 years now and hope it serves as a great history read of tour happenings over the years.
– Number of Overall Titles: https://www.proracquetballstats.com/…/number_of_titles…
With this 2022 title, DLR becomes just the 8th player to earn a second pro title. Eight other pros have won a single pro year end title.
– Bullet Point tour history: https://www.proracquetballstats.com/irt/tour_history.html . Quick blurbs on major events; not as detailed as the above link and just tries to capture “major” items.
– List of Major titles:
A text-based list of all “majors” in the sport’s history. You can also get this out of the database, but this text file organizes the majors by their names.
