Ladders

SINGLES SQUASH LADDERS

Boast Squash has singles squash ladders for both adults and juniors. Only full club members may join the ladders. The ladders will use the US Squash Club Locker system. You will need to have a US Squash account to participate, but you do not need to join US Squash. The account is free and requires only a brief registration with US Squash. The Club Locker system is simple, fully automated, web/mobile accessible and integrates with US Squash’s rankings system.

To create an account:

• Go to US Squash
• Click on ‘My Account’
• Click on ‘Create Account’
• Designate Boast Squash as your home club.

If you already have an account:

• Login
• Go to the ‘Club Squash’ tab on your profile page – this will show your current ranking on the squash ladder
• Make sure your account shows Boast Squash as your home club.

If you have any questions about the ladders or wish to join, please contact club staff.

There is a ladder fee of $8.00 per month per person. This will be charged to your club account for each month you are participating in a ladder. This fee offsets our costs of administration and also supports the prizes as outlined below.

The ladders are intended to give players the basic structure on which to contact other members and have some fun games, but are 100% voluntary and self-scheduling. The rules are intended as a guide; please use your own judgment and enjoy your matches. All participants in a ladder agree to abide by the Club Ladder Rules as published from time to time.

AWARDS AND PRIZES:

Awards and prizes will be given in the following categories (subject to particpation):

• Top of each division A, B, C & Jr. (as determined by Shoby Gul) (A appx. 4.5 +); B (appx. 3.5 to 4.5); C (appx. under 3.5);  & Jr. at the end of the season (appx. May)
• Most matches played during the season
• Most Improved Player (junior ladder) (as determined by Shoby Gul)

LADDER RULES:

1. Shoby Gul will set up the initial ranking of  any new players on the ladder.

2. It is up to the challenger to make contact with their opponent. You may challenge anyone else on the ladder, up to and including two (2) positions above you.

3. New players may join the ladder at any time. When you join the ladder, you may challenge any player within two (2) positions of your position on the ladder as your first challenge.

4. Each player is expected to play at least one match within every 4-week interval, otherwise he or she will be subject to being dropped 2 positions on the ladder. The Player in the No. 1 overall ladder positon is exempt from this requirement as the leader is not required to challenge others.

5. A player who is challenged must agree to a match with the challenger no later than two weeks after the challenge has been made unless:

a. The challenged player already has 2 other matches to play or has played 4 matches in a calendar month; b. The challenged player is unable to play due to injury, holiday etc.; or c. The two players cannot mutually agree on a date and time for a match.   Any unresolved challenge scheduling issues or conflicts will be resolved by Shoby Gul.

6. The challenger is responsible for providing a new squash ball (Dunlop Double Yellow Dot) for the match which are available for purchase in the Boast Squash pro shop.  The challenger must reserve court time [CLICK HERE].  Please  schedule ladder matches outside of other scheduled events such as Challenge Court hours etc.

7. It is the responsibility of the winner of the match to report the score via the US Squash Club Locker system. Please see the following infographic on details of how to do this.
