 Venue
The all-glass court will be erected on The Crescent at Camana
Bay.
The set up will be different to 2010 in that the court and
seating will be spun 180º so that the front wall of the glass
court is facing down The Paseo towards Abacus Restaurant and the
cinema. This allows for a much bigger and more accessible public
viewing area.
CINSA
The tournament is run by CINSA, the Cayman Islands
National Squash Association. CINSA is a non-profit sporting body
responsible for junior squash and representative squash in the
Cayman Islands.
CINSA is run by a board of volunteer Directors. The current
board is Janet Sairsingh (Chairperson), Jeff Broderick, Scott
Macdonald, Natalie Lawson, Jane Kelly & Ken Moore.

 Women's
Tournament
The women's tournament is one of the top five biggest events on
the professional squash tour. For 2010 we had 8 of the top 10
women in the world participating, including World #1 and World
Champion Nicol David from Malaysia.
The 2011 Cedrus Cayman Open has a 33% increase in the prize
money for the women, ensuring the tournament is stronger.
At this stage we have 16 of the world's top 20 women entered in
the tournament.
Men's Tournament
The men's tournament is an invitational event for the best
players in the Caribbean to battle against the best in the
world. 16 men will compete for the title.
Cayman's top 5 men will join 9 men from the Caribbean
- Bahamas, Bermuda, Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana, St Lucia and
Trinidad. Rounding out the event will be the world #12,
Alister Walker. Born in Botswana he now plays for England
and is part of their team that won the European Championships.
And finally World #2 and 2008 World Champion Ramy Ashour
from Egypt will be part of the 2011 Cedrus Cayman Open, ensuring
the best in the world are present.
Cayman Players
 Eight
of Cayman's best men and women will be flying the Cayman
flag in the tournament.
In the women's event Cayman's top juniors Kristina Myren
and Eilidh Bridgeman will be competing in the Qualifying
Tournament. Kristina and Eilidh won silver and bronze
respectively at the 2010 Caribbean Junior Squash Championships.
Cayman's top woman Marlene West will be given a wildcard
into the main draw. Her first match will be on the glass court
at Camana Bay against a player ranked in the top 8 in the world!
Five Cayman men will represent the country in the men's event.
Leading the charge will be current Caribbean U19 Champion
Cameron Stafford. His team mates from the recent
Commonwealth Games, Myron Blair and Alex Frazer
will be participating. Top Cayman players Gabe Rabess and
David Finch will complete the Cayman participation.

Sponsors
An enormous number of sponsors have made this event a reality
Non-Profit
 100%
of the profits of the 2011 Cedrus Investments Cayman Islands
Squash Open at Camana Bay go to the junior squash programme
for CINSA.
Over $32,000 worth of squash equipment will be donated to the
programme and considerable funding (and all profits) will go to
CINSA to allow free and subsidised squash for Cayman's juniors.
During the tournament over 300 juniors from 12 different schools
will get free workshops with the visiting pros. Cayman's elite
and national junior squash teams will get to train on the glass
court at Camana Bay, with profits from our tournament raffle
helping fund the National Junior Team attending the 2011
Caribbean Junior Championships in Guyana.
