The all new "NSRA Grand Prix Squash Series 2011" Finally Announced!
NSRA
GRAND PRIX SQUASH SERIES 2011
1st Series Event
The time has come to now announce details of the rumour of the extremely popular Norfolk Squash Juniors Grand Prix being copied to the Norfolk Squash men’s circuit.
Well, we have been working on this for a while and are now pleased to announce the new "NSRA Grand Prix Super Series 2011"!!
The Grand Prix super series is (as of today) now open to all Norfolk Squash players of all levels and abilities (from the top England players right down to the very beginners, juniors and ladies) as a way to test themselves on a regular monthly basis to determine the overall Norfolk ranking. The First Series at Braodland and Rossis on the 24th of April is now open to enter.
The idea for the Grand Prix is to familiarise Norfolk players with more competitions so that other competitions on a regional and National level become a lot more familiar for players who would like to progress. Currently there is only 1 Competition per year, the Norfolk County Closed. By having 5 highly competitive, very fun, fast paced and quality events, this will increase players standards as well as introduce them to a system where they can see where exactly they are in the Norfolk Squash rankings and pecking order and then know where to improve and what they have to do.
So moving on to the details!
Tony Henden (Organiser of the extremely popular Junior Grand Prix) explains how it works. The NSRA Grand Prix ranking system is designed to help players monitor their progress, to reward their achievements and also to assist organisers with seeding players for the tournaments and coaches in the selection of Norfolk county squads.
Each player's participation in a grand prix is awarded percentage ranking points depending on their final finishing position in the individual tournament. These are spread equally from 100 to the person finishing first in the top group, down to between 2 - 3 points for the person finishing last in the bottom group.
In addition any person winning a group (other than group 1), will be awarded the finishing position of the person finishing last in the group above them, and vice versa. This gives one position bonus points to each player winning a group.
After each Grand Prix, every player's percentage points are averaged out to give their new Grand Prix Points figure.
To encourage and reward participation, any player missing a Grand Prix will be deducted one percentage point from their points' total.
To qualify for a valid ranking position, a player must play in a minimum of one in the first three Grand Prix, and a minimum of two over the five month season. Anyone falling below this appearance level will continue to be shown on the Rankings, but with an invalid attendance.
At the end of the season, awards will be presented in various categories including: overall winners, most group wins and participation awards.
The rankings will be shown on the Grand Prix page of the Norfolk Squash website and will be updated after each Grand Prix. They also show each player's finishing position for every Grand Prix, club, group wins and number of tournaments entered.
Summary
To kick it off, the Entry Form is available to download from today (below) which can be sent in with the appropriate payment. So Download now, check which dates you are free and enter now! Once entered you will then be graded by the organisers and then placed in the appropriate group! Details of groups and seedings will be emailed out 1 week before the event.
We look forward to your registration and seeing you all at the first big event!!

- The Grand Prix Series will run over the Summer months to co-incide with this years new Summer leagues, over a course of 5 months with 1 tournament each month lasting 1 day on a weekend - starting from April and running until August 2011.
- The series will be held over 5 different zones around the county - North (TBA), East (Broadlands), South (TBA), West (TBA) and Central (TBA) to promote equal opportunities for everyone around the County.
- Each player will also represent their designated zone by the club they play for (this is just to help us gauge where to develop the lesser areas of Squash too and for future plans).
- Entrants will need to attend at least 2 events out of the 5 to determine their Norfolk Ranking.
