The agreement is highlighted by the introduction of the WOR Grand Slam, a series of three (3) major events throughout
each outdoor season including the Ektelon WOR Championships, the Pro Kennex US Open, and the World Doubles
Championships. The WOR Championships will continue its thirty year tradition in Southern California, the World Doubles
will be held in Florida, and the US Open will move yearly to outdoor hotbeds throughout the United States. “We are very
excited to have both Ektelon and Pro Kennex working directly with WOR for the good of the outdoor game,” commented
WOR Executive Director Hank Marcus. “Both of these companies are recognized throughout the outdoor game as pioneers.”

The agreement also calls for unprecedented growth in the number of WOR sanctioned events nationwide, including the addition
of a state ranking system along with WOR’s existing national rankings. “Ektelon has always seen the potential and excitement
the outdoor game brings to the sport and we are proud to have been the company who stepped up and established WOR three
years ago. We welcome Pro Kennex and look forward to working together in this effort to introduce racquetball to the general
public via the outdoor game,” said Scott Winters, General Manager of Indoor Court Sports. In addition, the WOR website will be
upgraded with new information from both companies sites and be the exclusive site for all things outdoor. To insure the continued
growth and success of outdoor an Outdoor Council will be formed including a representative from WOR, Ektelon, and Pro Kennex.
“I’ve always believed in the potential of Outdoor Racquetball to expand participation, providing exposure to players that would not
otherwise have picked up a racquet. This unique collaboration between WOR, ProKennex and Ektelon promises to unlock that
potential and give the gift of racquetball to the masses,” commented Mike Martinez, Vice President of Fall Sports.
