The 2020 New Orleans R48LTE will be the second R48LTE stop of the 2019/20 Race 4 Eight 9 season, as R48 stars aim to position themselves for the R48 Player’s Cup title at the season’s midway point.
The R48LTE New Orleans will feature some of the top touring pros, as last year’s R48LTE Mardi Gras champion Lucho Cordova will be aiming to defend his title; additionally, A/B, C, and 60+ Master’s Singles and Doubles and Female singles divisions will be offered.
“Last year’s Mardi Gras Open kicked off the R48LTE, as New Orleans hosted the first R48LTE in Race 4 Eight history,” stated New Orleans Mardi Gras co-tournament director David Fink. “We saw some great handball at the Ochsner Fitness Center, as Lucho Cordova picked up his second R48 title in a great final against Vic Perez. Of course, the action off the courts was just as exciting, as the world’s best handball players enjoyed the French Quarter and all of New Orleans’ amenities.”
