2022 Outdoor Cup Series Announced for both Men and Women’s Pros!

3WallBall Incorporated, the leading Outdoor Racquetball tournament production organizer in the nation, is proud to announce the 2022 Outdoor Cup Series! This is a new year-long Racquetball Cup Challenge Series held in conjunction with our three Outdoor major championships in 2022.

Players will accrue Cup bonus points based on their finishes in the competition events at the three outdoor majors. Players can compete in Pro Singles, Pro Doubles, Mixed Pro Doubles, or CPRT Pro Doubles, and the best two results per tournament are used to assign Cup points. In the case of the Vegas tournament, where both 1-wall and 3-wall events are offered, only the results in the 3-wall events will count towards the Cup points. This unique competition evens the playing field between one-wall and three-wall specialists and should make for a fun year-long competition as players track their standings after each major event.

Thanks to the generous sponsorship of LPL Financial (Rosco Halsey and Jason Hupp) for the Women’s cup, and thanks to the generous sponsorship of KWM Gutterman (Keith Minor), these Cup competitions will feature thousands of dollars of cash prizes to the winners in addition to a free stay at The STRAT to the winner.

This competition is held in partnership with 3WallBall Incorporated, the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT), and Pro Racquetball Stats (Todd Boss), who will be the stat keeper for the competition.

The Latest on Dane Elkins

Dane Remains Missing

There was a reported sighting on 2/18/22 near Beaverton, Oregon. This is an interesting development in the search, since Beaverton has such a rich racquetball history. It came on the back of a less credible sighting in Portland the previous night. But, it has been months since the last confident sighting (Modesto in September). By now, it’s easily possible for him to have made his way that far north into Oregon.

If you see Dane or may know about his whereabouts, his mother Deborah Kassin Elkins respectfully asks you to contact her at 562-504-6005 and to send any pictures or videos to searchingfordaneelkins@gmail.com.

To keep updated, please consider joining the Facebook Group “Searching for Dane Elkins” at this link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/findingdaneelkins. The Elkins family is continually providing updates, possible sightings, and news articles/media coverage on the search.
