This
Wednesday evening
The Park Squash Club, Nottingham plays host to a first
of its kind exhibition.
The night will involve single games being played PAR scoring
to 11 involving local club professionals and favourites -
Eddie Charlton, Emma Beddoes, Kirsty McPhee,
Chris Fuller, Declan James and Oliver Holland.
The twist being the first ever use of the 'Power Play'
in Squash, the idea bringing another dimension to what will
already be an entertaining evening.
How the Power Plays work:
There are two different Power Plays;
Attacking: Every cross court nick winner counts for
two points (the marker will decide if the winner was a nick,
but the ball does not need to roll!)
Defensive: Your opponent has to hit deep, every ball
must bounce past the short line or be above the service
line.
Boys have 2, 1 of each (for the whole night)
Girls have 6, 3 of each (for the whole night)
You can only initialise a Power Play at the start of a
rally. The player will tell the marker which Power Play
he/she wants to use, Power Plays last for two minutes
(if two minutes are up and a rally is still going on the
Power Play finishes at the end of the rally).
At the end of a Power Play before the next rally starts the
marker will let the players know that the Power Play has
finished.
Power Plays can be used at anytime but only if there is not
already one being used by your opponent. |
