Adding your Tournament to the Calendar

In order to host a US Squash accredited event, facilities will need to meet and enforce the minimum operational standards outlined below. Note that these standards do not replace local, state or federal guidelines but should be considered supplemental.

The US Squash standards contained within this guidance apply to all squash facilities in the US in operation during the COVID-19 public health emergency until rescinded or amended by US Squash. The owner/operator of the squash facility, or another party as may be designated by the owner, shall be responsible for meeting these standards.

After reading these guidelines facilities must affirm their adherence to these standards by completing this form.

US Squash Facility Standards

Facilities are required to affirm that they will adhere to US Squash’s recommendations regarding the safe operation of US Squash accredited events. Understanding that each squash facility is different, US Squash will work with facilities to create safe playing opportunities for participants. Players or spectators failing to adhere to the following policies will be removed from the event and asked to leave the premises.

These recommendations should be used to guide decisions regarding play at US Squash accredited events and should only be applied after local, or state governments have authorized squash clubs to open and for events to be played.

To confirm that the protocols will be met, organizers must complete this form.

US Squash Accredited Event Protocols

Any facility hosting an accredited event must be a current US Squash Facility Affiliate. Organizers should reach out to US Squash if they are unsure of their status.

Here you will choose how you will collect entries to your tournament. The three main options are:

• Online Registration through Stripe: allows players to enter themselves into a tournament while paying the entry fee directly to the tournament director. In this case, the tournament director must have an active Stripe account.
• Free Tournament: allows players to enter themselves through a sign-up link on the tournament page. In this case, no entry fee will be collected.
• Payments are Handled Offline: requires the tournament director to collect entries and payments. The tournament director then needs to manually enter the players into the tournament.

There are many different tournaments that are supported by Club Locker. Look through the options carefully and choose the one that is most appropriate for your event.
