Ontario Squash Rankings
RATINGS AND RANKINGS
At Squash Ontario, we have two different levels to the ratings and rankings systems, Universal Ratings and Squash Ontario Rankings.
Club Locker uses a Universal Squash Rating (USR) for any player who has an account with results. These players do not need to be competitive members of Squash Ontario to generate a USR, it can be done on free accounts. To generate a USR, player must have at least one win and one loss against other rated players recorded on their profile (through friendlies, leagues or tournaments).
The USR allows all players—regardless of age, gender, or location—to track their improvement over time, find other players of similar skill level, and be connected across the squash community. A player’s USR is a long-term measure of their level of play, which adjusts daily based on any match result entered into Club Locker. The USR ranges roughly from 1.5 for a beginner to 7.0 for a top-level professional player.
Players who have Squash Ontario Competitive Memberships, a USR, and have the minimum number of matches (as outlined below) will fall into our Player Rankings list in club locker which has many different filters. We have an overall rankings list for all men, women, boys and girls, as well as age groups (from under 11, up to 80+). There are singles and doubles rankings pages. The rankings order is based off your individual rating. The minimum number of matches (called “exposures”) required to maintain your ranking is:
Juniors: 4 matches in at least 2 tournaments in the last 12 months
Anyone aged 19+: At least 3 matches (tournament or league) in the last 12 months
A player who does not meet these requirements, may fall out of the rankings list, even if they do have a competitive membership.
Squash Candada has different exposure rules which may result in players listed in one rankings list and not the other.
Juniors: 4 matches in at least 2 tournaments in the last 11 months
Adults: 3 matches (tournament, league, or friendly) in the last 12 months.

Out-Of-Province Matches
