The entry fee will be £3.00 to cover trophies etc.

Please, please, please come along and mark a few games, particularly if you are one of the higher-ranked team players.

To enter, put your name down on the form on the notice board at the club. Alternatively email Granthan or Lisa.

Rules

  1. The entry fee is £3.00. Please pay this to one of the organisers (Granthan or Lisa) and make sure your name gets ticked off on the list.

  2. Please get in touch with your opponent to check whether he or she can play at the scheduled time. If there is a problem with the scheduled time, please get in touch with the organisers ASAP. It may be possible to reschedule your match, providing it does not hold up the tournament.

  3. This competition relies on players (particularly team players) making themselves available to mark other matches. Please try to stay on after your matches to mark the next game.

  4. All matches will be the best of five games, English scoring (up to 9).

  5. Remember there is a plate competition for first-round losers (men's event only). This means you are guaranteed a minimum of two games. The plate may not be open to the seeded players as this might hold up the tournament.

  6. Please come along and support as many of the matches as you can - particularly the finals the last evening. After the finals, in the evening, there will be prize giving and nibbles.

  7. Visit the squash section website. I will try to update this website every evening, so you can check on peoples' progress through the tournament. It would be great to have some write ups for the matches. If anyone feels inspired, please email me your efforts. Libellous commentaries in particular would be appreciated, but try not to involve Andrew Sachs or his granddaughter! The squash content also doesn’t have to be particularly high - anything in the public interest is OK.
