Draw Format: For divisions where a draw is required, the top 2 seeded players will be placed in the proper positions at the top and bottom of the draw. Positions for the 5-8 seeded players will be drawn at random, as well and the 3rd and 4th seeded players. For draws with more than 16 players, players seeded 9-12 will also be drawn, with remaining players placed at random. This process will be witnessed.
In the event of seeded players having ratings within .05 at the time of the deadline, Squash Ontario will use the NJC rankings as the decider. Squash Ontario reserves the right to move any same club match ups in the first round, without affecting the placed seeded players. The lower rated player will be switched with the next closest rated player from a different club to keep the integrity of the draw.
