Evergreen Doubles Ladder is Back

The Doubles Ladder is now on-line, hosted on the Quick-Draws site. Like the singles ladder on the Gigasport site, players must log-in to record matches. No log-in is required to view the current state of the ladder.

All intra-club doubles matches are valid ladder matches — assuming all the players involved are on the ladder. And, to sweeten the pie, all ladder matches count toward the BC Doubles Rankings — assuming at least one player in each pair is a current Squash BC member, and already has a BC Doubles Ranking.

Lynn Broman and Rick Kochanski have put together a couple of web pages that pretty much tell you everything you need to know.

So check it out, if not already on the ladder, join, and start making your mark in the club doubles rankings!

2009 Evergreen Summer Doubles

In lieu of a Summer Solstice party, the Evergreen Squash Club celebrates summer with a doubles tournament. This annual event is a mainstay of the Greater Vancouver doubles community. It is an opportunity to celebrate the easy living of summer, and a chance to assess one's waning skills.

This year's event will be held July 14 to July 19, 2009. With a number of venues used for the matches.

Thanks to a number of volunteers, and Don Smerch, there are always enough snacks to keep the competitors, and guests, from completely starving while catching the matches. The Saturday night party, to which those attending contribute, is traditionally hosted in the home of one of our generous members.

With the summer looming large, with the generosity of the sponsors and volunteers, and with the hearty competition, it is definitely an event to add to your calendar early in the year. You don't want to miss it.

Back to the club for wind down, food, etc. Down tickets (gondola) are not provided (ensure you bring the funds to purchase one).

Event host is Richard Dustan.

(Many of us just take some time to list all our ailments to Richard Dustan, and the others, before apologizing—again—for not being able to take part. Of course, we still contribute to North Shore Rescue.)
