Quick-Draw Ranking System
Once the pro knows your level of play, he can put you in the computer. The Squash Pro determines your ranking and will insert you into the ranking ladder according to your level. Once you are in the ranking system you can view all players and it helps you find players at your level.  All matches to determine ranking are to be entered into the computer. Specify before a match, whether the match is a friendly, a ladder match or box match. Use the system as it will keep everyone at their appropriate level.  If scores are not recorded in a calendar month you lose points. If you have recently rejoined or if you are a new member, please contact Steve to get yourself activated or entered into Quik-Draws.

If you find your ranking is out of order please contact the squash pro to reassess your ranking. The only reason it is out is due to a lack of matches. You only need to put in one match a month for the computer to not subtract points. The rankings are pro-rated in a manner which will  reflect your level of play, even after only a couple of  games.

The Quickdraws ranking system is included in your membership fees. Please use it.

Box Ladder
The boxes run from September to May. It's frozen during the summer. There are five players per box. It's up to the players to set their matches in the time span allotted and record scores in the computer. The scores will automatically tally your ranking. At the end of the cycle, two players move up, the middle player stays in the same box, and two move down. If you miss more than one match you will be deleted from the next cycle. If you are injured, sick, or out-of-town, sign the sheet provided. Defaults - You only mark in a default score if a match has been scheduled and your opponent does not show up or you have tried to reach your opponent to no avail. In-House Box Ladder is $20.00 +HST per year. When you join the box ladder, you will be slotted in according to your ranking. The fee offsets the cost of running the computer. Sign-up on line or through the office.

Lunch Time Box Ladder
Available for those who want some competitive squash at lunch time. Organized into box groups of six, you play each member once in each cycle which is usually four or five weeks long. Points are based on games won. At the end of each cycle, the two players with most points go up to the next box, two go down and two stay in the same box. Disputes are decided by the administrator, (Richard Bennett), who puts up new box sheets at the end of each cycle. It is up to each player to arrange the matches. Participants hold a social event near Christmas and again in the spring. Anyone wishing to play should contact the office for more info.

Vancouver Squash League
Teams from VRC are formed to play against teams from other clubs in the Lower Mainland. The Vancouver Squash League is organized into divisions by level of play. Matches are played at all clubs involved. Players who sign up for the Vancouver Squash League must be available to play every Monday or Tuesday. Players can also sign up as spares if they wish to play occasionally. The cost is $50 +HST per year and includes the In-House Box Ladder. This fee offsets our fee to Squash BC. All league players must be current Squash BC members. All players must sign up through the office. VRC team members are to "host" visiting teams approximately every other week of the league schedule and should be prepared to contribute to the nights' food and beverage costs. Attendance for the meal and drinks after matches are over is just as important to the overall success of the league as playing. Remember the league is a "social" as well as a "competitive" program.
