Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this event will have an 8-person limit on each division. As such, this event will be an invitation-only event for players who meet the eligibility criteria in their age divisions in the Ontario rankings. Eligible players will be notified via email with instructions on registering.
The following event format will be in place temporarily for all divisions, due to COVID-19 restrictions:
Under 11s and Girls under 13:
The top 2 ranked under 11 players are not eligible to play
The top 6 ranked in girls under 13 are not eligible to play
Under 15, 17, 19 and Boys under 13:
Top 8 ranked players are not eligible to play
Players ranked 9-16 in the above age groups will be invited to register (next ranked players will be invited to fill any open spots).
If a player is ineligible for their age group, due to the policy above, would like to play up a division in silvers, they will need to go on a waitlist and will only be allowed entry if there are open spots to fill, come the registration date. Email tournaments@squashontario.com to be added to the waitlist.
