Squash Championships

This year the Squash Championships clashed with another event so it has been moved away from the SS Games weekend.

The event will take on a graded format in order to guarantee at least 3 matches, against players of similar abilities – so anyone can enter!

Venue: Oriam, Heriot Watt University
Date: Saturday 26th – Sunday 27th March 2022
Time: Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your match is due to start (see draw times below), noting our new Lateness Policy (please find below)

Cost: £10 per player

Entries: Entries are now closed

Eligibility: All entrants should be currently matriculated at a Scottish university or college. Players will be ranked by their Sports Unions to aid in the draw, prior to the event

Pre-Event Information: An updated Pre-Event Information document will be released in due course, please stay tuned

Draw and Results: Please find the results HERE on SportyHQ and in PDF format HERE. The Women’s Championships was sadly cancelled, due to low numbers.

Registration Time and Lateness: Please make sure you arrive at least 15 minutes before your first match time and sign in at the registration desk at the courts. Please note that matriculation cards must be shown at registration. No entries will be accepted on the day.

A new Lateness Policy has been brought in this year to ensure the smooth running of the event. Please take note of this:

• 1-14 minutes late on court for published match time = no penalty (but discouraged as this is disrespectful to the organisers and your opponent)
• 15-29 minutes late on court for published match time = 2-point penalty (two points automatically awarded to your opponent before the match starts)
• 30 mins late on court for published match time = forfeiture of the match and the win being given to your opponent

Players may not be penalised should the SS Squash Chair deem there were reasonable circumstances leading to lateness, and if advanced warning was provided, but this leniency is at their discretion and is not guaranteed.

SSS Event COVID-19 Guidance: Please note, SSS will ask you to read this Disclaimer and complete this Self-Declaration Form before arrival at the event. In addition, all athletes must have a negative lateral flow test no older than 24 hours old and pass a temperature check on arrival before being allowed to compete.
Your participation is also subject to these Terms and Conditions, which state the protocols which will be followed on the day to keep you, and us, safe. The event will be carried out in accordance with the latest COVID-19 advice from the Scottish Government.

Contact: All enquiries regarding this event should be directed to our SS Squash Chair, Heather Bowie, on ssssquashchair@gmail.com

Many thanks to Scottish Squash for their support of this event.
