The International Racquetball Federation's 22nd Racquetball World Championships were held at the Thousand Oaks Family YMCA in San Antonio, Texas, United States from August 24–31, 2024.[1]
The 2024 World Championships are also the qualifying event for the 2025 World Games in Chengdu, China.[2]
Tournament format
[edit]The 2024 World Championships had an individual competition (men's and women's singles and doubles as well as mixed doubles), as well as a team competition. The individual competition used a two-stage format to determine the World Champions. Initially, players competed in separate groups over three days. The results were used to seed players for an elimination round.
The individual events were followed by a team competition with countries competing head to head in best of three matches: two singles matches and a doubles match. In the team competition countries faced off in men's and women's divisions with a best of three matches format: two singles matches and a doubles match. Order of the matches varied, and if one team won the first two matches, the third was not played.
