The Men's International Racquetball Tour (IRT) announced that Dave Negrete has decided to retire as Commissioner of the IRT after nine years at the helm. During his tenure, Negrete organized new Grand Slam events and increased the total prize money pool available for players. Negrete's crowning achievement was the creation of a new portable court that will enable racquetball to be exposed to thousands of potential fans around the United States. Negrete will help transition the operations of the IRT through the end of 2009 and then Jason Mannino will step in as the new commissioner.
