The Gold and Provincial Championship events are the highest level of competition offered in Ontario with Girls and Boys Under 11, Under 13, Under 15, Under 17, and Under 19 divisions offered. These circuits are geared towards high performance juniors.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this event will have an 16-person limit on each division, except for BU17, BU19 and GU19, which will be limited to top 24 entered. The highest ranked players to register prior to the deadline will secure a spot in the main draw. Any additional entries will be placed on a waitlist. Waitlisted players who do not make it into the draw will receive a full refund.
The following event format will be in place temporarily, due to COVID-19 restrictions:
To limit the number of people in the club at any given time, younger age groups will likely play their matches in the morning time slots each day with the older age groups will play in the afternoons, but this will be confirmed once we see final entry numbers.
Squash Ontario will now have sanitization protocols in place during the tournament.
As always, start times go out Wednesday evening and draws are posted Thursday evening, the week of the tournament.
