NSW Squash Rankings Policy Overview  

NSW Squash ranks players across gender and age categories from 13 years to open. Rankings are performed four times each year by State selectors effective the 1st of January, April, July and October. They are published the following month on each occasion on this website and also forwarded to Squash Australia for National Rankings.

Information is collected from a variety of sources and players are directed to the selection criteria below (Seniors and Juniors criteria). This can be further supported by any individual player submitting their competition results by completing a Player Tournament Result Form (see below) and submitting to NSW Squash for consideration. Once the Rankings are published players are entitled to appeal the rankings by completing the Ranking Appeal Form (see below)

SELECTION CRITERIA

• Players not born in NSW but have been resident for no less than 4 months may be eligible to be ranked.
• Current and previous State and National rankings shall be taken into consideration.
• When determining new State rankings, the Selectors will take the existing State rankings and the previous state rankings into consideration for all relevant groups - i.e. the last two rankings. A heavier weighting shall be given to the existing ranking than to the previous one.
