I had my first experience of the PAR 11 scoring in a priory match last night. I'm with the majority and am not keen. It was all over far too quickly for my liking and as I heard the opposition say at one point during a match... "I've travelled all t…

As I understand it, division 1 is trialling PAR 11 for the Summer period because it was voted IN at the AGM fair and square. I believe it was done on the proviso that everyone involved would feedback and a decision would be taken at the end of the…

So why are we not just sensibly playing par squash to 15?

Completely agree with your comments, Mark! PAR to 11 is ridiculous at this level and (in my opinion) completely ruins the game.

Martin, the PRO game is a very different game - do we all play with 17" tins too? No. Lets not be sheep and just go along with this, this is our time on court and we [well I for one, of many] am not prepared to just let this go. I'm ok with PAR 15…

If the whole world of squash is changing to par then surely we should follow suit as I can't think of any other sport where the pros play a different scoring system to the amateurs, if the sport is changing then we should change with it. Just like f…

Is there a way to email all members of this forum to inform them of the vote?

If you are using squash to keep fit then you could be making a big mistake - especially as you get older. The stresses and strains it puts your body and heart under are tremendous. The old saying of "get fit to play squash and don't play squash to…

Compared to just 15% of the votes wanting to keep PAR 11 Or you could also say that HiHo has over twice the amount of votes than PAR 11. Either way, I think it shows that after a trial period, people are not happy about their valuable court time b…
June 2
As I said, only 40% voting for HiHo

Not correct Phil. As I type the resuts are 19 votes: 7 votes for HiHO 6 Votes for PAR 15 as an alternative 3 votes for 'not caring either way' 3 Votes for keeping PAR 11 Can't see any spin there, just facts.. ;-)
June 2
Just a little bit of spin there Mark. The split is currently 60 - 40 With only 40% voting for HiHo
June 2
The poll is up and running with about 20 or so votes so far, looks ike HiHo's coming back!!?? You can view the poll on the home page of this site (scroll about half way down).

I think SAWSS would shorten the game a little but not too much. It would facilitate come backs so long as you could prevent your opponent from playing a winning shot. I would have thought that an incentive for players to go for winners would be a g…

Ian The main complaint against PAR is that it shortens games but your proposal would incentivise players to go for winners with reckless abandon as a player can now significantly increase their error count but still win. Also it seems unfair to re…

SAWSS - the definition of a winning shot could be one where the opponent fails to get their racket to the ball before the ball is deemed dead. I think it would be an interesting change and would amount to a half way house between PAR and HiHo as yo…

Well, match reports are a bit thin on the ground this season, but PL's visit to Dulwich last night couldn't be allowed to pass off without comment.
