CLUB WEST ISLAND

WHAT IS INTERCLUB?

Interclub combines competition between members of clubs across the Montreal area with camaraderie and after-match dinner and drinks. Teams are composed of at least 6 players, 3-4 of whom play every week from October 2009 to April 2010. In September and October 2009, Le Club West Island will put together teams in the following categories that will play on the nights given (days are subject to change):

Men’s B – Tuesday
Men’s C1 – Wednesday
Men’s C2 – Thursday
Men’s D – Monday or Thursday
Women’s B – Wednesday
Women’s C & D – Monday or Thursday

Cost

There is a fee between $40 and $50 to be a registered member of an interclub team. The Montreal Squash League (MSL) determines this cost. When matches are played at Le Club West Island (home games), it may be the obligation of each player to buy supper and a drink for his or her opponent. When matches are played at another club, the hosting team treats the visiting team. This reciprocal courtesy rule may be instituted by the Montreal Squash League at the beginning of the season.

Commitment

The season runs from the middle of October 2009 to the beginning of April 2010. Matches are played every week, except for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Thus, interclub is a weekly commitment. Players are required to notify their team captain if they will be unable to play on a particular week. It is the responsibility of the captain to ensure that a full team plays each week, to determine the line-up, and to find a replacement when a regular player cannot attend.

Sportsmanship

Although interclub is about competition, it is also about sportsmanship. Interclub players form a team that represents their home facility, Le Club West Island, in this case. Good sportsmanship is a requirement and poor behaviour will be dealt with accordingly at the discretion of the Montreal Squash League and/or the Club Squash Professional.

Please refer to the Squash Québec website for the league schedules, rankings and complete rules and guidelines.Le Club West Island team selection and player line-up will take place Sunday, October 4. After teams have been selected, it is still possible to play as a spare.
