TEAMS, SCHEDULE & INFO HAVE BEEN POSTED
Join us for a fun, non-ranking tournament where there’s more than one way to win! This team tournament is open to all levels, but your mad squash skills will only be as useful as your cup hitting skills! Your $39 entry fee guarantees you at least 3 matches and includes dinner, beer, and a party with DJ JK (both on February 15th). REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.
What is a Cups Tournament?
There are 4 cups on each side of the court:
- One about 3 feet from the front wall
- One at the back of the service box
- One midway between the service box and the back wall
- One against the back wall in the corner
(See image for more information)
If you hit a cup you automatically win the rally and get 5 bonus points; for a total of 6 points!
