Tournament Director Expectations: INTRO 1.0

US Squash is committed to supporting and guiding our Tournament Directors (TDs) to deliver the best and most consistent squash tournament experience across the country. We want our TDs not only to enjoy running events but also to feel confident and accountable in their role.

To achieve this, we have outlined clear expectations that are critical to ensuring a successful tournament for everyone involved. It is essential that TDs carefully read and follow the guidelines provided in this presentation. Attention to detail, proactive planning, and dedicated effort are key to running smooth and professional tournaments — and we appreciate the commitment it takes to meet these standards.

Please note that all tournament directors must ensure that proper safety precautions have been taken to protect the personal welfare of the athletes and spectators at the competition and that due regard has been given to international amateur athletic requirements specifically applicable to the competition.
