27.0 M & R REQUIREMENTS (REQUIRED FOR THE 2026 SEASON)
Joburg Squash Qualified Players
WSO Level 0 – Exam
WSO Level 1 – Exam
It is felt that all players should enjoy a better playing experience by having their games marked/refereed by someone who is qualified. To this end a bonus system has been developed to encourage all players to qualify as markers/referees.
Bonus points for refereeing will be awarded for 2 years in the event of a player passing the WSO Level-0 course for the first time (i.e. the Level-0 course is only available to do once per player) and will be awarded for three years in the event of a player doing for the first time or repeating either a face-to-face refereeing refresher course or the WSO Introductory Level course (which does come at a small cost to the player).
27.1 Every team in a club / team will earn between 0 and 16 bonus points for the season for their players’ commitment to M & R. Only individuals who have successfully completed:
– the WSO Level-0 Rules Officiating Course for the first time (i.e. the Level-0 course is only available to do once per player) and is valid for the initial 2 years only; or
– The Joburg Squash face-to-face refereeing refresher course which is valid for 3 years and can be repeated after that period; or
– the WSO Introductory Officiating Course (current cost is $15) which is valid for 3 years and can be repeated after that period;
will be considered as a Qualified Marker/ Referee.
27.2 Each club’s bonus points will be calculated in the following manner: (Qualified Markers / Total Players) x 16. The fraction will be discarded giving a bonus figure between 0 and 16.
27.3 This resultant bonus will be added to each of the teams in that club’s total points earned for the season.
27.4 Points will be calculated by the end of June.
