WHO WILL WIN THE PLAYER CHAMPIONSHIP?

Press- The 2011/2012 Simple Green Race for Eight, presented by the World Players of Handball, marks the first organized pro tour since 2004 and debuted in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in October of 2011, and will eventually land in Seattle, Washington, after a season full of stops.

Eight stops, to be exact!
 
Salt Lake City, Utah, brings a down home handball feel only seen at events like the Jake Plummer Family Bash in Idaho or Art Coronado Memorial in Fresno, as organizers Ace Disposal & Co roll out the hospitality.
 
The top eight WPH pros will be invited and a special pro qualifier will be held on Thursday, February 16th; with pro matches and age division play starting on Friday, the 17th.  Regular events will start after 4pm on Friday.
 
The WPH has added a special women's division with finals on Saturday night and a pro/am will pin pro players with sponsors and fans w/final on Sunday (not filmed).  Interested in the pro/am or women's division?  Contact Dave Vincent or Matt stalsberg (emails below).
 
Pro Players (qualifier and women's singles only) can enter HERE online.  All other divisions can print out the entry below and enter by mail.  Pro/Ams can enter via email.
 
The WPH team will film and broadcast all matches from the show court at http://www.race4eight.com.  Schedule will be posted here three days before the start of this event. 
 
Entry deadline is Feb 12th!

This Salt Lake Tourney is going to be one of the biggest and most exciting along the Race path.  The SLC ACE squad has special parties accompaning junior clinics, top pros, qualifiers and women's divisions. Plus, special local hall of fame induction.  The Pro/Am Doubles has 28 players and is getting a lot of local hype, as north vs south brackets are being drawn up.

Pro/Am:  The WPH seeded the top 14 players; the ACE squad seeded the 15-28 players; Tourney directors flipped the Ace seeds upside down and gave #1 to #28, #2 to #27, et al.  $1000 for first place and the majority of the Amz are sponsors!!!  Very fun and positive event!

If you want to participate in the ACEs event (pro/am and qualifier entry closed) in one of the age division or doubles classes, please go on line to enter.  Deadline on the 12th!
