Squash Ontario sanctions over 100 tournaments each season. We offer events for men, women and juniors and in skill and age levels from Open to beginner - from junior to masters. Also offered are doubles and mixed doubles events. The annual Provincial Championships recognize the best junior, senior, doubles, and mixed doubles players in Ontario in all age categories and skill levels, and the best junior provincial team. Tournaments, whether they be at the open level or the E, are an integral component of an athlete's development by providing a yardstick by which a player can measure their skill level and their competitive progress. Participating in tournaments also provides an opportunity for players to compete in various facilities across the province and to enjoy the wonderful camaraderie always present at these events.
Tournament Terms An "open" event means that entry is open to any player who is a member in good standing of his or her provincial or national squash association. For example, a member in good standing of Squash Alberta could participate in the Ontario Open Championships. A "closed" event means that entry is limited to residents of the province of Ontario. For example, in order to participate in the Ontario Masters Closed Championships, a person must be resident in Ontario.
Provincial Championship Participants Notes Eye Protection All players competing in a Provincial Championship must appropriately wear eyeguards made of polycarbonate or similar materials designed for protection in sport. Defaults Anyone defaulting from the Ontario Open or Ontario Closed Championships and who would be eligible to receive prize money, will not receive that prize money unless a doctor's note is presented to the tournament chair or a representative of Squash Ontario the day of the defaulted match. If the default is due to injury during the tournament, the player must (a) advise the Tournament Chair that he/she will not be playing the match and (b) submit a doctor's note to Squash Ontario within 5 business days following the completion of the event.
Recognition as Provincial Championship In order to be recognized as a Provincial Championship, there must be a minimum of 6 players/teams in an event, with a minimum of 25% of the players being from outside the host club. An exception to this policy is made in the men's and women's 60+, 65+ and 70+ where there must be a minimum of 4 players/teams with a minimum of 25% of the players/teams being from outside the club. |
Doubles Non payment of entry fee by one partner upon closing date of entries, will result in the partner's credit card being charged. |
Host Club Sanctions
Where a player is subject to a sanction imposed by the Host Club of a Provincial Championship, Squash Ontario shall respect that sanction, including any sanction which may preclude the player from entering the premises and thus participating in the Championship, provided the sanction was imposed using fair procedures. Specifically, the sanctioned player must have been informed by the Host Club of the nature of the infraction that resulted in the sanction and have been given an opportunity to provide information concerning the incident prior to the sanction being imposed.
