Today is Tournament Day!!! Tournament Day will take place on normal squash courts at a local squash center, if possible.
There are two main tournament types:
ROUND ROBIN: Where everyone plays everyone in their round robin pool.
DRAW: Participants are seeded and either move forward in the main draw or proceed to the consolation.
Divide students into groups based on their skill level for the round robin or drawing. The multiple levels are designed to provide everyone with an enjoyable and evenly matched playing experience.
Each division should have at least one court to play on (preferably more).
Organize it so that two students play their game/match, and two students score and referee the match.
Depending on how much time and how many courts are available for Tournament Day, each game/match can be played as follows:
- One game to 11 PAR.
- One game to 15 PAR.
- One game to 21 PAR.
- Best of three, the first player to win two games wins the match. Each game is played to 11 PAR.
- Best of five, the first player to win three games wins the match. Each game is played to 11 PAR.
USING NETS/WALL FOR YOUR TOURNAMENT: If you don’t have access to standard squash courts, set up your tournament day at the school gym using the information below:
- Set up the eight nets to create four 3-net courts and four single-net courts.
- Four matches can be played at once on the four 3-net courts, while four matches can be played on the single net courts.
- Scoring is the same as the information as above.
