Scoring Systems for this year’s league.
Filed Under Info for Captains, Info for Club Reps, Info for players, Scoring | Comments Off on Scoring Systems for this year’s league.
Our season starts tomorrow and there still seems to be confusion about which division is playing with which official scoring system. Below is a quick and official reminder of the official scoring systems that will be in place for the 2009/2010 VSL season:
Division One OPEN – PAR 11
Division One WOMEN – PAR 15
Divisions 2 through 8 OPEN and WOMEN – Hand In, Hand Out to 9.
Please note that the above scoring systems will be in effect throughout the season and can only be discussed, changed or debated at the next AGM (date TBD). We hope that you attend the next AGM to voice your opinion and vote on the direction that the league takes in future seasons.
Have a great season!

Scoring system for the 2009/2010 season
Filed Under Info for Captains, Info for Club Reps, Scoring | Comments Off on Scoring system for the 2009/2010 season
During the VSL’s AGM a motion was put forward to have the VSL maintain the existing scoring system of HiHo, or “Hand-In-Hand-Out” scoring to 9, for all divisions. This motion was voted on by the membership and passed unanimously. Therefore Divisions 2 through 8 will continue with HiHo for the 2009/2010 season.
Following the vote, an amendment was forwarded to have the VSL survey Division 1 players, those who played in that division last year and the two new teams moving up, on whether they wish to continue with HiHo scoring or switch to PAR 11. Results of this survey will be posted online by July 15, 2009.
It should be noted that while the World Squash Federation has chosen PAR 11 as the new “standard scoring method” the governing body still recognizes both HiHo and PAR to 15 as approved scoring systems.

2nd Cycle of 2008/2009 Season has begun.
Filed Under Info for Captains, Info for players, Schedules | Comments Off on 2nd Cycle of 2008/2009 Season has begun.
Welcome back everyone. Just a quick reminder to all captains that if you select a “Default/Guest”, when entering your scores, it is YOUR responsibility to inform the League Coordinator whether or not the match was a true default or not. If someone did spare for your team you must submit their name and ensure they register with Squash BC before they play for your team a second time.
Also, it is the home captain’s responsibility to enter match results as soon as possible. (Ideally the VSL would like all results entered on same night that the match was played.) As the season gets closer to the playoffs captains will be checking the rankings more often and everyone appreciates an updated results page. Be advised that Monday night match results MUST be entered no later than noon on Wednesday and Tuesday night results MUST be entered no later than noon on Thursday. Results entered later than this will become subject to a two (2) point penalty.
Lastly, the VSL would like to ask all captains to properly rank their players on their team roster – you know, 1 through 5. There are some teams that have have every player on their team listed as a “#1” and that’s not good thing:) Those teams that feel that all players on their team are interchangeable must then rank their team based on the rankings.
Good luck in the rest of the season.
