Up and Coming events

MSC Shirt

It’s been a long time coming but the MSC shirt is very close to being made available to all club members, a order has been placed with the supplier to kit out the 2 Maidstone squash teams first and then orders will be taken for MSC members to purchase their own club shirt (more information next week on cost)

There will be a 10-minute time limited to each pair of players on court, straight into warming up and then playing with no limit on where the score ends up, once the 10 minutes has been reached the alarm will sound and the next 2 players can go on court to play there 10 minutes.

Box Leagues

Will finish this Sunday, please make sure that all scores are recorded either on the app or the paper sheets on the notice boards

Box League scoring system

We will be implementing a small change to the Box League scoring system this month (May boxes onwards) this is generally used at many other squash clubs around the country and is designed to encourage and reward all players that turn up and play there Box games, the change to the scoring system is that a player will get 1 point for turning up to play, and the wining player will get a extra point for winning the match.

Example

Player 1 V Player 2, ……………………………….Player 1 beats Player 2, 3-0, the score should be recorded as a 5-1 win to player 1 (1 point per game won, 1 point to the player winning the match and 1 point to both players for turning up)

Player 1 V Player 2 ………………………………..Player 1 loses to player 2 2-3, the score should be recorded as 5-3 win to player 2 (1 point per game won, 1 point to the player winning the match and 1 point to both players for turning up)

If a player fails to turn up at the time and date arranged it will be classed as a “walk over” to the player that has turned up at the club to play the match and will be rewarded the win, a 5-0 score should be recorded

2 Bonus points will be awarded to any player playing all his games.

Parking Cones

Please keep up the good work you are all doing by moving the cones when parking and replacing them when leaving, if you see the cones have been moved or knocked over please replace them back to the middle of the bay.

Would also like to bring to your attention that whilst you are getting out your car and moving the cones to park please make sure that sure that your car and belongings are safe……car door left open, engine running, handbag or wallet left on the front seat in full view of anyone that might just be passing at the same time, please be careful.
