New rule regarding use of “Default/Guest”
Filed Under Rules | Comments Off on New rule regarding use of “Default/Guest”
At the 2010 AGM a motion was put forward, and approved, to simplify rule 4.2.2 which concerned the use of “Default/Guest” when recording results for matches. Previously, the captain was able to enter “Default/Guest” to refer to a player who was not a member of Squash BC or to a position that went vacant. The captain was expected to inform the league coordinator whether or not a match was played and, if so, what the name of the “non-member” was. A sliding scale of penalty points was then put into place.
This rule proved to be difficult to enforce and has now been changed so that the penalty is automatic. When a captain enters “Default/Guest”, when recording the match results, an automatic 1 point penalty will be assessed for each position so entered. If the “Default/Guest” was an actual player the captain can have the penalty point removed by signing up the player WITHIN ONE WEEK of playing and forwarding the email confirmation of membership to the league coordinator.
This rule is meant to encourage all teams to field a complete roster and all squash players to become members of Squash BC.
If you have any questions about this or any other rules please refer to the FAQ page or contact the league coordinator: info[at]vancouversquashleague[dot]com

OLD RULE > If a player is not a current member of Squash BC when they play for the first time, the team they played for will be penalized one (1) penalty point. If they play a second time without becoming a member of Squash BC the team they play for will forfeit ALL points for that player earned in the second match. However, if the captain, or player, has renewed their membership with Squash BC prior to league result entry no penalty point will be applied.
+
NEW RULE > REVISED 2010 > A player who, when they play for a team, is a “non-member” (defined as someone without a Squash BC membership), will not be able to record ANY points for a match. This “non-member” will be recorded on the match score as a “Default/Guest” and the team will receive an automatic one point penalty. This penalty will go into effect immediately after the October 31st grace period (for clubs to sign up all players with Squash BC) and is reversible if the player is signed up with Squash BC within one week of playing.

New Scoring Systems
Filed Under Announcements, Scoring | Comments Off on New Scoring Systems
The scoring systems for the 2010/2011 season were discussed and voted on at the most recent AGM. The choices were “Hand in/Hand Out to 9” or “PAR – Point A Rally”. These are the results:
OPEN DIVISIONS
All Open Divisions (1-8) will score using PAR 11. This system allows either player to score points regardless of whether they are serving or receiving. The server, on winning a stroke, scores a point and retains the service; the receiver, on winning a stroke, scores a point and becomes the server.
In the event of a 10-10 tie the winner is the first player to score two points clear of their opponent (ie: 12-10 or 13-11). The matches will remain a best of five.
WOMEN’S DIVISIONS
All Women’s Divisions (1-7) will score using PAR 15. This system allows either player to score points regardless of whether they are serving or receiving as in PAR 11. The server, on winning a stroke, scores a point and retains the service; the receiver, on winning a stroke, scores a point and becomes the server.
In the event of a 14-14 tie the receiver (not the server) will choose to continue that game to fifteen (“Set 1”) or to seventeen points (“Set 3”). With “Set 1” the player to score the NEXT point wins. With “Set 3” it is the first player to get to 17 points that wins. The matches will remain a best of five.

Each year the VSL asks the captains of every team in every division to send us their choice for the most sporting team in their division. This is the team that may have the best referees, the best dinners, the endless full pints, the most honest players or something that sets them apart from all the other teams.
The votes are finally in and below are this season’s Sportsmanship Award winners. If your team is listed send the League Coordinator a photo of your team and we’ll post it online. Congratulations to everyone for playing in the spirit of the league. (Note: No winner was selected if a division submitted less than 3 votes or no team was voted for more than once.)
