Playoffs and 3rd Cycle for Open Div 1 & 7

Filed Under Info for Captains, Info for Club Reps, Info for players, Playoffs, Schedules, SportyHQ | Comments Off on Playoffs and 3rd Cycle for Open Div 1 & 7

The playoff dates have been added to SportyHQ’s online schedule. Previously we had posted them on the SCHEDULE page on our website.

Venues and teams participating in the semifinals and the finals have not been determined yet but some divisions will notice that they have a gap between their last league match and the semifinals. Teams are welcome to reschedule if both captains agree and the host club is able to accommodate them. Always check with your club pro first and don’t forget to let the league coordinator know about the date change. Please enter the results!

Div 1 Open and Div 1 Women will play their finals on March 19th at the AGM & Wrap Party event (location TBD).

We have also added the “missing” third cycle for Open Divisions 1 & 7. Club pros or reps with teams in those divisions (ARB, BEN, BON, EVE, JER, RIV, SPC, TCC & VRC) will have to enter the start times for these matches. Players should note that hosting is shared during third cycles. Thanks for your patience while we figured out how to get this online!

If you have any questions please check our FAQ page or email the league coordinator if you don’t find your answer there – info@vancouversquashleague.com

Filed Under Info for Captains, Info for Club Reps, Info for players, Rules | Comments Off on New Rules for the 2012/2013 Season

At the most recent BC Honda Vancouver Squash League AGM (March 10, 2012) several motions regarding rules were proposed and approved.

They are as follows:

•

> Rule 5.2.3 has been amended to allow matches missed before Christmas to be rescheduled in January.

Rule 5.2.3 – ORIGINAL
Matches missed for unforseeable circumstances (i.e., snowstorms) must be rescheduled promptly. A missed match before Christmas must be rescheduled and played during the Christmas break. Those missed after Christmas must be rescheduled and played up to and including the last scheduled match in that division.

Rule 5.2.3 – REVISED
Matches missed for unforeseeable circumstances (i.e., snowstorms) must be rescheduled promptly. A missed match before Christmas must be rescheduled and played either during the Christmas break or in the month of January following. Those missed after Christmas must be rescheduled and played up to and including the last scheduled match in that division.

•

> A new rule, Rule 7.3.4, was introduced that specifically deals with outcome of a defaulted match.

Rule 7.3.4 – NEW
In the case of a team defaulting, the winning team will receive the average of their scores in the cycle in which the default occurs.

•

> Rule 8.1.3 was revised. QuickDraws, (specifically the VSL rankings on QuickDraws), is now the standard for organizing a team roster.

Rule 8.1.3 – ORIGINAL
Quick Draws’ ranking system may be used by captains as a source of information to decide a player’s position on their team roster.

Rule 8.1.3 – NEW
Quick Draws (VSL) ranking system is to be used by captains to decide a player’s position on their team roster, unless otherwise agreed before play.

•

> Two new rules regarding AGM protocols were introduced.

Rule 10.1.1 – NEW
The VSL AGM will follow a fixed order of business in accordance with Robert’s Rules of Order.

Rule 10.1.2 – NEW
A proxy may be used at the AGM.  A proxy form must be signed only by the captain of a team and may be given to anyone of his/her choosing who is attending in person at the AGM.  The proxy form will be used for voting on matters that are listed on the AGM agenda only, where the captain has given his/her vote(s) to their proxy on those matters, and not on matters raised for the first time and voted on at the AGM.

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.
