Lets used in the spirit of the game work very well, I don't think I have played in any matches where the number of lets has got out of hand. (perhaps one doubles match on reflection) Not at all sensible in the normal form of the game – pro squash is effectively a different game, and some players make the most of every chance of using the rules to their advantage.

]]> Comment on PAR 11 Scoring by Bill Jeffries http://www.sussexsquash.org.uk/blog/?p=11#comment-15 Bill Jeffries Mon, 04 Oct 2010 14:19:21 +0000 http://www.sussexsquash.org.uk/blog/?p=11#comment-15 I don't like PAR at all, and certainly at lower league level, even PAR to 15 would result in matches far too short. If I travel any distance to a match, I want to be on court for at least 40 min, preferably much longer! PAR to 25, still with a best of 5 format, might work I guess. I much prefer the tradition system where the score can stay level for a long time, or one player can creep back into the game from match point down, even though service changes many times.

Perhaps for lower leagues look at PAR 15 as a compromise?
