L’Objectif : Depuis maintenant 2 éditions (2 ème en 2003 et 3 ème en 2005), la France est sur le podium mondial. Cette année encore, l’objectif est de finir dans les trois premiers, et si possible sur la plus haute marche, l’équipe a les moyens d’être sacrée Championne du Monde. Règlement : 1ère phase en poule de 4 équipes, les 2 premières équipes qualifiées pour les 1/8 de finale à élimination directe. Chaque rencontre comporte 3 matchs (3 joueurs + 1 remplaçant). Le remplaçant peut être titulaire dans une autre rencontre . Match en 3 jeux gagnants. Attention : Chaque jeu se déroule en 9 points, avec un « scoring » à l’américaine, où il faut avoir le service pour marquer un point. Les principaux adversaires : ANGLETERRE : - Champion du Monde en titre - 2 membres du TOP 10 : James WILLSTROP (N°6) et Nick MATTHEW (N°5) et un ancien N°1 mondial, Lee BEACHILL (N°12) - 1 autre joueurs dans TOP 15 : Peter BARKER (N°13) - N’a perdu qu’une seule fois contre la France, en 2003 lors de la ½ finale du mondial à Vienne AUSTRALIE : - Meilleur joueur : David PALMER (N°4-Champion du Monde 2006) - Anthony RICKETTS (N°6 avant sa blessure) est blessé depuis plusieurs mois et manquera donc la compétition - Autres joueurs : Stewart BOSWELL (N°15) et Cameron PILLEY (N°22) - Champion du Monde 1967-1969-1971-1973-1989-1991-2001-2003 EGYPTE : - C’est l’équipe favorite de la compétition avec dans leur rang le N°1 mondial et triple Champion du Monde Amr SHABANA (2003-2005-2007) - 3 joueurs dans la TOP 10 : Amr SHABANA, Karim DARWISH (N°8) et Wael EL HINDI (N°9).

La fraîcheur physique sera sans doute très déterminante. PALMARES 1.

    WORLD SQUASH UPDATE Issue 83 November / December 2019 FOR ALL WSF REGIONAL & NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Presidents, WSF Commission Members, Stakeholders, PSA members, SPINs, Media, Accredited Products and Companies CAPE TOWN HOSTS SUCCESSFUL AGM The World Squash Federation Annual General Meeting took place on 6 November in Cape Town, South Africa, hosted by Squash South Africa. The WSF Conference, which preceded the AGM, facilitated informal discussions and featured presentations to update the delegates on key initiatives - including the World Squash Officiating, a joint enterprise between the WSF and Professional Squash Association (PSA) to develop an online platform that will provide National Federations with the tools to develop refereeing in their country. The new initiative is scheduled to go live before the end of the year. Additionally James Sandwith, from BEBRAND, presented the findings of a strategic review commissioned by WSF, with the report now available for all member nations to appraise. The 49th Annual General Meeting, attended by representatives of 24 National Federations, saw delegates agree an amendment to the Articles of Association to reduce the risk of inappropriate leadership behavior and to ensure that delegates in attendance at an AGM have a formal connection with their National Federations. There were no changes to the standard Rules of Squash. However, the Rules of Squash 57 were updated, adding an extra ball rebound resilience at 33 degrees C that will help to ensure that the differential between blue and black balls - and their range of bounce - will be more uniform across the brands that are WSF-approved. The WSF Championship Regulations were updated with respect to player eligibility, the use of random draws and a new timeline and procedure for seeding juniors.

"World Open final, it's what you dream about lying in bed as a ten-year-old,” admitted Willstrop.”And for it to be against another Englishman too ...

    ASP Mixed Doubles Cameron Pilley & Donna Urquhart Men’s Doubles Zac Alexander & David Palmer Aussie Aussie Aussie, oi! oi! oi! ASP squashmedia .com.au Squash Media would like to congratulate Cameron, David, Donna, Rachael and Zac on their awesome achievements GREEN & GOLD at the 2018 Commonwealth Games. To David Palmer and Rachael Grinham ... once again thank you for so many wonderful memories over 20 years at the CG. David Palmer has now won 3 Gold, 2 Silver and 4 Bronze Medals from 6 Games (in actual fact it is 9 medals from 5 Games because he didn’t win a medal at his first Games appearance). I’m proud to say I was in the audience to witness your 9th medal ... GOLD! Rachael Grinham has now won 2G, 2S and 4B from 5 Games. Another fantastic record of achievement. Winning medals at the Commonwealth Games is a wonderful achievement but as 41 year olds ... well that is simply incredible! Both players may have lost a little speed but their shots and tactics are still awesome Congratulations & thank you Refs! Steve Walton put it best “I thought they did a sensational job because the pressure is immense. The amount of information that they have to manage now is quite extreme particularly when you are the main ref in centre court and you have ear pieces, iPads, 2 competitive players and you are seated right amongst the spectators that groan every time a decision goes against their player. The refs are also competing to referee in the big matches and they have their own behind the scenes challenges to manage also.” ASP squashmedia .com.au to watch.

Jahre seines Bestehens erfolgreich weiter. Dritter Titel in Folge, insgesamt der siebte Titel seit 1999, eine Top 4 Platzierung beim Europapokal der Landesmeister in Göteborg, ein Deutscher Meister durch Simon Rösner bei Herren, erfolgreiche Jugendli- che, beispielsweise mit Cederic Lenz als Mannschafts Junioren Europameister; die Erfolgsbilanz des Pader- borner Squash Club kann sich auch in 2009 wieder sehen lassen. Und das Wichtige ist, dass die Verantwortlichen des PSC in strategischen Konzepten denken und han- deln. Neben der intensiven Jugendarbeit (weiterhin ist jeder dritte PSCer ein Jugendlicher) und Leistungssport im Herrenbereich ist die Internationalisierung weiter ein wichtiges Ziel.
