Michigan Squash Association - New Format for Travel Leagues


The Michigan Squash Association is trying a new format for their travel leagues.

Rather than play one night each week rotating between home and away, they are switching to playing approximately
one Saturday per month.

Their would be four locations/clubs to host matches, Birmingham Athletic Club, Detroit Athletic Club, Franklin Racquet Club
and Windsor Squash. You would play two matches each Saturday against two different teams. With the exception of
Birmingham play would start at approximately 1:30pm. It will be a slightly later start at Birmingham after their Junior Program
has finished at approximately 3:00pm.

As in the past the teams will have four players. Rosters however should ideally have six players. The six players will be listed
1 thru 6 on the entry roster in order of ability. Regardless of which four players are used per match they will always play in
the order they are listed on the entry roster, this will guarantee that all matches are pitting the best player vs best player at
each level.

All level of play from 3.0 through 5.0 will be accepted if enough teams at that level enter. Therefore if you are interested please
contact Dave Guthrie as soon as possible since rosters are due October 14th.

This promises to be a very exciting change with an emphasis on both competitive play and camaraderie based on three teams being
present at each scheduled Saturday.
