Welcome to the School of Computing Squash Club.
The results submission form is set up to be only accessible using School of Computing IP addresses. The rating system is to help us identify our abilities so please do enter your results (only once!!!). As it is not automated (yet), multiple submissions can be filtered out. NB. No scores are kept, only the results from the session.

- Double Yellow - Extra Super slow (very low bounce)
- Yellow - Super slow (low bounce) for club players and/or cool courts
- Green or White - slow (average bounce)
- Red - Medium (high bounce)
- Blue - Fast (very high bounce) for beginners and slightly oversized
Ranking Information
Loosly based on the IRB ranking system (see IRB ranking explanation), the system ensures that it is representative of the players performance despite playing differing numbers of games, and the differing strength of opposition that players have to face. The system takes into account the result and the players strength.
- Step 1: Ratings
- Get pre-match rating for player one (p1) and player two (p2)
- Step 2: Ratings Difference
- Rating difference (d) where d=p2-p1
- Step 3: Rating Changes Calculation
- Rating change (c) based on result (r) where r=1 for a win, r=0 for a draw, and r=-1 for a loss using the formula c=0.1*d+r
- Step 4: Weighting Factors
- This is currently not applied but can be taken into consideration in the future if deemed necessary
