IRT Rankings - September 28, 2011

Kane Waselenchuk continues to be the #1 ranked player on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT), and Rocky Carson continues to be #2. But Ben Croft is now #4 with the retired Jack Huczek in #3. The IRT's rankings system uses a "rolling 12 month calendar of tournaments," so rankings can change without an event occurring if there was an event at that time last year.

Andy Hawthorne is now ranked #5, with Jose Rojas #6, Chris Crowther #7, and Shane Vanderson #8. Rounding out the top 10 are Charlie Pratt in 9th and Alvaro Beltran in 10th.

Jason Mannino, IRT President, confirmed that this is the last ranking run before next week's US Open, which means there won't be a repeat of last year's US Open final between Waselenchuk and Beltran, as Beltran will be seeded 9th (as Huczek isn't in the US Open draw) and would face Waselenchuk in the quarter finals, if they both get to that point.
