ELIGIBILITY
Players must play in the age group that corresponds with their age at the time of the event (ie. if your child is 11 years old on the day of the tournament, they must enter the U13 division) apart from the following restrictions:
Boys and Girls U11 and Girls U13:
The top 2 ranked U11 players are not eligible to play.
The top 6 ranked in girls U13 are not eligible to play.
Boys and Girls U15, 17, 19 and Boys U13:
Top 8 ranked players are not eligible to play.
Rankings are taken based off the Squash Ontario rankings at the closing date.
If a player is ineligible for their age group based on their ranking they can play up a division. Any age groups with low entry numbers are subject to being combined.
A player who wins two Silvers must move up an age group. If a player wins two U19 events, they will be deemed to have graduated from the circuit as there is no additional age category for them to move into. Players may return to their age category for the end of season Ontario Silver Championships even if they have won two previous events.
