College Squash Reminders (1/13/2013)

On Sunday, the e-mail below was sent to CSA coaches, team contacts, and Sports Information Directors.

Coaches, Team Contacts, and SIDs:

A few reminders…

• Team Rankings: The ranking committee will be reviewing results on Monday evening. If your results are not posted to the US Squash Scoring System, they will not be considered for ranking purposes. Without results in the US Squash Scoring System, your team will not be credited appropriately. At most, you have 48 hours after a match is played to submit results. In addition, the sooner results are submitted to the US Squash Scoring System, the greater the chance that your team is mentioned in the Sunday evening “Around the Courts” article.
• Harrow Sports Player of the Week: Please nominate deserving players for Player of the Week honors by 6 PM ET on Monday. This week will cover the period from 1/1 – 1/13.
  • Criteria: A Player of the Week should have a significant impact on his or her team’s performance during the prior week and demonstrate sportsmanship.
  • Nominations: Coaches, Sports Information Directors, and Team Contacts may nominate players by using the following link: [link in e-mail]
• Club Team Registration for Nationals: Club teams have until 1/15 to register for Nationals. Please remember that to enter a 9 player division, club teams must play eight (8) matches against other CSA teams. In addition, club teams must play at least four (4) matches between January 1st and February 10th. At minimum, each team should have at least five (5) different opponents. Club teams, please add any matches to the US Squash Scoring System or the CSA will be questioning teams that do not appear to meet the qualification standard.
• Training Trips: The CSA would like to publish an article from your captains or players on the experience. Please submit articles to me upon your return. These may be rough and I will clean the articles up.
