Should anyone else have concerns about the recent email from Squash Levels concerning price increases, which you will have received as a registered member of Squash Levels, through our Internal league system.

Should you click on the Upgrade  link  you can see listed what you get for free, and what extras you get for  £20 & £30 per  annum.

For many of you, free will no doubt be in enough. For the more keener ones amongst you to know where you stand level world  wide wise, plus  the additional facilities available for just  –  £20 or £30 a year is not robbing the bank – bearing in mind the club are now saving on using this system and is my view  one step ahead of the system we have just left – which though free, was costing us £20 to get rid of the adverts and the previous SportyHQ system was costing £168 – that at a reduced rate.

So Personally i think the author is worthy of support. It is voluntary.

I have personally subsidised our our own sbsquash.co.uk website and the league system system which we first introduced with the website in 2013. The costs are now down to a minmum and are now currently covered by Notts League players out of the surplus from their match fees.

Please help the author if you are able by upgrading.

You should note that Squash Skills is now  integrated with the Squash Levels system which is being used World Wide for ranking players in Tournaments. Squash Skills does require an addition subscription.

It is why there are non SBS relevant topics in abundance in the upper part of the Home page. Scroll to the bottom of the page for menu and  specific Sutton Bonington connections.

You might find the necessary links more convenient under the Leagues tab   on https://sbsquash.co.uk

 

 

Further update – Entering SBS League results

Note from the Squash Levels Author:

Should you have any reason to alter any entered result having pressed the update button – You cannot – Please re-enter the correct entry – but PLEASE ensure you use the same date.    The previous result will then get over-written on the over-night updates

League Games  results must be entered via the Sutton Bonington Boxes Page

Other results, friendlies. competition matches etc can be added via the RESULTS tab at the bottom of the screen. Should you wish.

It is on the cards to have a special page  for Sutton Bonington – this will eliminate, hopefully the need to scroll to the bottom the page for example – we live in hope – Please be patient – I do have some influence with this  site and  a connection with the author.

World Squash Federation (WSF) and SquashLevels

The World Squash Federation (WSF) and SquashLevels have agreed an exciting new partnership to deliver the official World Squash Ratings.

The SquashLevels rating system can be described as a cross between the golf handicap system and popular multi-sport tracking and performance app, Strava, providing a unified ratings system for all players at every level. They will complement existing national and international rankings by engaging and connecting millions of squash players across the world.

WSF President Zena Wooldridge believes that SquashLevels is an ideal tool to build a truly global squash community, providing the basis for other exciting developments for the sport. “Our recent WSF strategy recognises the need to partner with others who are already doing valuable and innovative work in the sport that can be accelerated via partnership with the WSF.

“To make this a truly global ratings system the other critical partners in this venture are our National Federations, for whom this is a fantastic tool to engage more players in the SquashLevels community. We know how critical the vitality of clubs is to the sport, and we believe this is a valuable tool to generate new energy and an obsessive interest within clubs across the world. This is a tried and tested product which can help to transform our sport. WSF’s mission is to grow the sport, inspire our community and work together. This partnership will help squash achieve that mission.”

SquashLevels Chief Strategic Officer Jethro Binns said: “We are delighted to partner with the WSF, as we see SquashLevels becoming an enormously powerful tool for players, federations and organisations around the world. It’s been our belief for some time that the sport needs a unified method of rating players of all levels, and our system works in partnership with existing results providers to do just that. For organisations, SquashLevels provides an opportunity to communicate directly with their squash playing communities across a platform built specifically for squash.”

SquashLevels is the most advanced rating system in the world. Originally implemented and tested in the UK, using player feedback and behavioural modelling collected and refined over the last 10 years, it gives an incredibly accurate picture of a player’s playing level at any given point in time, calibrated across different regions and countries.

The WSF and SquashLevels will work together, along with national federations, to formalise the agreement, and implement the partnership over the next six months.

Kegworth squash Club

Many club members, left overs from Kegworth Squash Club, which closed in February 1999 will remember one of our then youngsters from the 80’s. Look how he has grown..

Simon Spencer and the webmaster, yours truly represented England in the Home Internationals  in Nottingham, The Park Squash Club,  at the weekend ( Fri/Sat 13/14/5/22) . Simon was seeded 3 in the Men’s Over 55, 5 man, team – I, No 2, in the Men’s O75 team 3 man, team. Men’s O35 And Ladies O55 were also represented.

Unfortunately I lost my record of  never having lost representing England since 1998 – over 50 matches in Total over 20 seasons. Some honour was restored completing the rout of Scotland on Saturday afternoon who were runners up in this agegroup.  Coming back from 2-1 down to win a 34 minute battle in 5, to 11. As there are no older Age group provisions for this event, this is likely to be my  last appearance, being 81 in a few weeks time.

England won all the age Groups. The last event is next weekend  in Cardiff where the MO45 WO45 and MO65 will conclude  this year’s Home International events.
