Squash is intense enough. You are battling your opponent, the court conditions, and yourself physically and mentally. No one needs extra pressure. True, you don’t need it, but I’m piling it on anyway. Now, you will be battling the clock as well.
And your time will be short. Very short. Like these sentences. Each match you have will only be a few minutes long. The time may vary from anywhere between 3 minutes to 10 minutes, and it will be your task to accumulate as many points as possible within that limit. Handicaps may be issued. The format for the event will depend on how many registrations I receive, but I do need at least 15 players to run it. Take heed that as is customary, a keg will be provided for your drinking pleasure.
So, there won’t be much point to extending the rallies, wearing your opponent down, relying on superior fitness level. Racquet skills will be playing a more important role here. You will need to shoot and take a few more risks. Be aware, that since the duration of the matches will be brief, you most likely will not be spending too much time on the court overall. But it should be intense, so no relaxing, no time to breathe or scratch yourself, just full-throttle, reckless abandon, no holds barred, lickety-split unrestrained smash-and-dash squash. With a few beers in between…
Up for the challenge? Matches are scheduled to get underway at 5pm, we’ll keep to the 2 downstairs courts, and we should be able to move through the event pretty quickly so I won’t keep you too long. (Again, it will depend on the amount of players.) Registration deadline is Monday, August 6. Tick… tick… tick…
