Technical Manual
Squash
1.3. TEAM EVENT
         Men’s and Women´s team events will take place in two stages. Sta-
         ge 1 will be the Qualifying state and Stage 2 will be the Classifying
         stage or Play-offs. Draw size will be determined by the entries by
         name. A round robin format will be used in Stage 1 (groups of “all
         against all”). In Stage 2, draws of 4/ 8 / 16 will be used to determine
         Tournament positions.

          1.3.1. SCORING AND MATCHES
          All tournament matches will use the point-by-rally to 11 points
          (PARS-11) system. A Team match corresponds to the result of its 3
          athletes’ singles matches.

          Each Singles match will be the best of 5 games, in accordance
          with WSF rules. During Stage 1, if the score is two (2) – zero (0),
          the third game must be played under the same conditions as the
          2 previous games. In Stage 2 or Play-offs, if the score is two (2) –
          zero (0), the third game may be played to determine the best of
          three (3) games or could even not be played as it will not affect the
          final result (unless the Classifying Stage involves an entire group,
20        in which case all the games must be played.)

          1.3.2. SEEDS
          Teams will be seeded based on the results of the last Pan American
          Tournament. But, those countries that were not considered within
          these results, will be seeded pursuant to CASA, ORDECA, South

1.3.5. TOURNAMENT WITH AN
          INCOMPLETE TEAM
          If a team has less than three players for any reason (injury, illness
          or other), said absence will be assigned the last place, player #3.

          The lineup of players will be determined as explained above:

          • If player 1 is not playing, player 2 becomes player 1, player 3
          becomes player 2, and the match of player #3 will be a no-show
          or default.

          •If player 2 is not playing, player 3 becomes player 2, and the
          match of player #3 is a no-show or default.

          • If player 3 does not play, the match is considered a default.
          A defaulted or abandoned (W.O.) match will be scored 3/0 in the
          matches and as 33/0 in points.

          If a player needs to abandon the court during a match due to an
24        injury or illness, the playing order will not be affected.

          1.3.6. FINAL TEAM ORDER
          IN A GROUP
          All teams will play against each other in groups
          to establish a merit-based order. This will be
          decided according to:

           1.First, according to the highest number of
           matches won.

           2. If two teams are tied, there will be a tie-
           breaker based on the points earned by each
           team (or the winner of its series, specifically).

     Technical Manual
     Squash
3. If three teams win the same number of matches, the tiebreaker
   will be the highest number of matches won. If two teams are still
   tied, the results will be analyzed between these two teams.

   4. Should the tie continue, then the highest positive difference
   between matches won and lost in all the matches played will be
   considered. If two teams are again tied, the winner will determi-
   ned by who wins when comparing the two tied teams.

   5. If the tie continues, then, by the highest positive difference between
   points earned and lost in all matches. If 2 teams are still tied, then by the
   result between the 2 teams.

   6. If the tie continues, it will be broken by a draw.
