Junior Scoring – Change in Scoring
At the 2016 Squash NZ forum, it was agreed by all regions that ALL Junior events will use point a rally scoring (PAR) to eleven for the 2017 season with a review to take place at the end of the year. This includes all club sanctioned tournaments and interclub events.
Please note: that scoring for all senior and masters events is PAR eleven for higher graded players (roughly B1 and above) and to fifteen for players roughly graded B2 and below. Where a junior competes in a senior event this ruling will take effect. The Scoring system used should be the same for every player in a tournament grade / division.
Squash Canterbury have decided to implement from 30th April, to coincide with the first D Grade tournament of the year and prior to the start of the CHCH Autumn Junior Interclub commencing.
The board are looking for expressions of interest for the following roles;
Squash Canterbury Board member Lawrence Skurr, who is responsible for ‘success on the court’, said ‘he is indebted to those that volunteered last year and did a superb job and again hope they also reapply but there is always a need for some ‘new blood’ with new ideas/passion’
If you have any questions or would like to find out more, Lawrence would love to hear from you. You can contact him either by email lawrence@skurrexports.co.nz or ring him on 0274817926
