Event information
Sign up now for a fun 4-week summer social comp to round out the year! All skill levels welcome!
- Competition commences 6pm. Once your opponent is there, put your names down on the whiteboard for your court of choice (first in best dressed!)
- You will be required to mark or referee one match.
- Yes – there will be pizza!
- The last round (16th December) is Xmas themed! Come dressed in your best Xmas outfit! Best dressed wins a prize!
For something a bit different, there will be four different formats for the four weeks:
Week 1 - Handicap matches - every player that enters will have a ranking. You will be given a handicap depending on your level and the opponent's level. Four games played. First to 11 (sudden death at 10-10 - no need to win by two points)
Week 2 - Powerplays - Best of 5 games. Each player will start the match with Two PowerPlays which can be used at any point. Should they win a PowerPlay rally they will be awarded two points (if they lose it the opponent only gets one point). If used at, say, 9-all, the game could be won on a PowerPlay. The player must elect to use the Powerplay before the rally begins by indicating to the referee. Both players may use powerplay at the same time.
Week 3- Team-up timed competition - The rules for this format: There will be three people on the court, Player 1 will verse Player 2 & 3 (Team) for 6 minutes. During the 6 minutes, Player 2 & 3 will alternate a minute each against Player 1 (the non playing team member is standing on the back wall (dodging the other players!) Each player will have a turn at being on their own against the team therefore this matchup will be on court for 18 minutes.
Week 4 - Back in time - For a bit of fun, let us go back to how it all started. We will be using wooden racquets (we will provide), Old scoring will also be used - hand in/hand out - first to 9. If players get to 8-8 the first person who was on 8, chooses to play to 9 or 10. You also get two chances at the serves (if you serve a fault, you get another serve).
Please note this comp is unranked - i.e. it will not impact SportyHQ / Squash Levels rankings. Anyone is welcome to play (members and non members).
The comp runs for four consecutive Mondays, starting 25th November, and finishing 16th December. Sign up before Sunday 24th November.
Registration is for the full four weeks. Juniors - use discount code 'JUNIORDISCOUNT' when registering
