International Racquetball Federation Signs Letter of Agreement With Sport Online Productions

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
15 November 2017 – The International Racquetball Federation (IRF) has signed an historic agreement with Sport Online Productions (SOP). The agreement, which begins January 1, 2018, was signed by IRF General Secretary Luke St. Onge and CEO of SOP Pablo Fajre. Sport Online Productions is a sport marketing and TV production company that produces and broadcasts racquetball events worldwide in high quality professional format. It owns and operates the World Racquetball Tour (WRT), a professional racquetball tour that produces world-class events, and provides a platform for professional racquetball players to develop their careers and showcase their talents.
 
The agreement allows all WRT events to be sanctioned as international events by the IRF. Further, content from these sanctioned events may be included in content generated for the Olympic Channel. From this new agreement an international ranking system will also be developed that combines results from both IRF and WRT events. Last, WRT athletes will fall under the governance of the IRF’s anti-doping program.

I Love to play the racquetball sport. But at first I found it very confusing differentiating between racquetball and squash. I hope this article will help new users differentiate easily.
