What we use rankings for

Seedings

Satellite and Challenger Competitions

For Satellite and Challenger competitions, England Squash will use the National Junior Rankings to do all seedings.
All questions relating to seedings for satellite and challenger events must be directed to the tournament organiser.
If you believe there is an error with a ranking please report it via email to competitions@englandsquash.com.

Silver, Gold and Platinum Competitions

For Silver, Gold and Platinum competitions a seedings panel will meet to determine the seeds for each age group. The seeding panel will manually seed the top 8 seeds per age group. This will be based on ranking, finishing positions in recent major events, recent results and head to heads. The remainder of the seedings will revert to the latest ES ranking at the time of entry closing.
The seedings panel will be led by an experienced chair, supported by other coaches with highly relevant expertise and knowledge. The make up of the panel may vary from event to event.
When draws are created the first and second seeded players will be placed at the top and bottom of the draw respectively. The rest of the seeds are placed as follows:

Junior England, England Development and England Potential squad selection

In some instances we may use rankings to guide selection for various representative squads. Whilst rankings are not explicitly part of the selection policy, the rankings list can provide a useful overview of current and recent performance. As such rankings may be used in conjunction with other information to help inform squad selection. You can read our full selection policy here.
