Referee Workshop

28 October 2007

There will be another ENGLAND SQUASH REFEREE WORKSHOP on Sunday November 11th and the subsequent examination on Sunday November 25th, you will need to attend and pass the exam in order to qualify for the bonus points available throughout the season. This is course is FREE to all registered members of Hull & District teams. You will need to contact the league no later that Monday 5th November to book your place on the course. The workshop covers the first stage of training for all referees, all aspects of the current singles rules and interpretations, and prepares candidates for a written exam to be taken within a 12 month period. Those of you who have previously attended but either didn't take the exam or failed it, will have to attend the workshop again. On completing the exam successfully, candidates achieve a 'Provisional' Grade Referee certification prior to further training (if required) to qualify as a 'County' Grade Referee.

Scoring system for 2007/08 season

29 September 2007

As discussed at the AGM in May 2007, the scoring system for the Humber Squash leagues are to be brought in line with what happens in the professional game governed by the PSA, the only difference being that we will play point a rally (PAR) to 15 instead of 11.

Below is a summary of the scoring rules and how to record your results:

• Each game is scored up to 15 points, point-a-rally.
• Matches are best-of-five games.
• If the game score reaches 14-14 (fourteen all) there is no election by the receiver. A player must win the game/match by two clear points.
• The Marker calls: "14-14 (fourteen all), tiebreaker, player to win by two clear points, 0-0 (love all)"
• The Marker to then to call the score as: "1-0 game ball (or match ball)", then "1-1", then "2-1 game ball (or match ball)", then "3-1 game/match to (player name)".
• The game score is then recorded, for all purposes, as: 15-14 (3-1). All scores are recorded with 15 as the winning player's score.
  

Referee Exam / Bonus Point

29 September 2007

It was also agreed at the AGM than a bonus point would be awarded to those clubs how had a qualified referee registered in there team who played and marked games. Humber Squash agreed to meet the full cost of the workshop and exam making it free for all members to attain the relevant qualification. Due to an extremely poor response from clubs the course did not go ahead as planned, however, those of you who are already qualified will still be eligible to earn the bonus points. Teams need to contact Humber Squash ASAP to inform us who in your team is a qualified referee, once their status is confirmed bonus points can be earned.

There will be another opportunity later in the year (November/December), again funded by Humber Squash for you to attend the workshop, so keep checking the website for details. With up to 11 extra points available can you afford not to get qualified! Well done to those of you already qualified, you already have the advantage over your opponents.
