Tournament Director Expectations – TOURNAMENT EQUIPMENT 1.8

DEVICES: All matches must be scored live using Club Locker software. Be sure to have the correct number of devices for your courts, remember to have extras so you can switch them out when the batteries are low. Check that your WIFI is working sufficiently for the devices and extra WIFI usage over the tournament. Using a private WIFI for the devices is recommended if possible. 

SQUASH BALLS: A gold tournament should have at least 12 dozen balls available (less for silver and bronze). We recommend a ball change on each court at least every 3 hours.

SCORE SHEETS: Having some score sheets and pens on hand is recommended in case there is a problem with WIFI or the devices.

FIRST AID KIT AND AED: A fully equipped first aid kit needs to be at each venue. Self-adhesive black bandages and bleed stopping agents/wound seal powder are great for bleeding incidents. Band aids are often needed for scraps from falls on the court.

There also needs to be an AED in the building.

ICE/ICE PACKS/BAGS: Players very often need ice during and after their matches, so it is essential to have ice and plastic bags conveniently at hand, or at the very least, disposable ice packs for players.
