The Global Squash Festival welcomes players of all levels, with divisions grouped by SquashLevels ratings to create balanced and competitive matches.
Indicative grading structure:

If you are unsure which division fits your level best, our team is happy to help with placement.
We’ll use the SquashLevels rating system to organize players into fair and competitive divisions. Depending on the number of entries, formats may include group play and/or knockout draws, with a maximum draw size of 64 players per division.
We recommend registering as soon as registration opens. Spots are limited within each skill level and draw, and certain divisions may sell out before the official registration deadline.
Pre-register HERE and you’ll be the first to know about updates, including when entries go live. Advanced entry will also be available to pre-registered players.
