NJSA PRIMARY SCHOOLS SQUASH LEAGUE RULES 2019

The primary schools league takes place from  9 October – 12 October 2019.

Closing date for entries:
Friday 20 September 2019

1. Starting time and sequence of play.

The first match must start within 15 minutes of the scheduled starting time.   The only exception will be if the court organiser has been timeously notified that a team will be late.

The preferred sequence of play will be nr 4’s then nr 3’s then nr 2’s and then nr 1’s.   If players are late the first two players that are present must start playing.   If one of the players of a team does not arrive at all a walkover will be given to the opposition.

2. Marking and refereeing.

Please keep in mind that the players are not equally experienced in marking and refereeing – especially in the B, C and Beginners leagues.   The court organisers will assist where necessary.

• Nr 4’s to be marked by the nr 1’s.
• Nr 3’s to be marked by the nr 4’s.
• Nr 2’s to be marked by the nr 3’s.
• Nr 1’s to be marked by the nr 2’s.

Above will work well if matches are played in the correct sequence.  Please keep in mind that this is not always possible, in which case, the players that are available must mark.

All players must mark the match played (on the same court they played on) immediately after they have played.   Players who do not follow this rule will be penalised – one point will be deducted from their team’s total points.
