The 6 Things EVERY Tournament Player Needs to Do

Here are the five things that every tournament player can do this weekend to make the tournament run smoothly (and make your tournament directors happy):

1. Be on time to matches, as a match may be defaulted if a player is more than 10 minutes late. Call venue coordinators as early as possible if you suspect you will not be able to make your match.

2. Losing player must referee the next match. This has been the official US Squash rule for two years. Please budget the necessary time to referee the following match.

3. Goggles are mandatory. We will interrupt points in play to enforce this, and multiple infractions will result in a game or match default.

4. Please be respectful of your fellow players and refs. If a debate gets to the point of raised voices and delay of game, it is best just to call a let and replay the point.

5. Watch the pros. We love the grandeur of the TOC, but the Hyder is as much about fun and socializing with the pros as it is about great squash.


6. Come to the Saturday night party! The Hyder is about great squash, to be sure, but equally it is a fun way to celebrate the end of a season with friends. We throw a killer party!
