Importing Tournament Software match history into SportyHQ

On-boarding the Club functionality to a set of new Clubs

We are currently looking for clubs to join us when they are ready, willing and able. Clubs can use as much or as little of the available functionality as they wish.

Agree a common formula to calculate Tour points for all junior, senior and Master players, and incorporate that into SportyHQ.

Integrate SportyHQ functionality into the Irish Squash and Provincial Websites.

If you are a Club administrator and wish to find out more about how to avail of this service for your Club please complete the Application Form.

Irish Squash will be back in touch and help you get started.

The platform ensures that GDPR protocols are being followed at all times

Any match result saved in SportyHQ (apart from those matches marked as ‘friendly’) will award positive and negative rating points to both players. Over time this will give Irish Squash a single list of players in ability order (regardless of age and gender), based on actual results. The more results that are entered, the more accurate this list becomes.

Eventually, all sanctioned tournaments will automatically be seeded using the National Ratings. It is estimated that it will take a year’s worth of match results for players to be in their corrected position, and players will be informed when this happens.

Players competing in competitions identified by Irish Squash as Ranking tournaments will be awarded Tour points based on their finishing positions. These points will help Irish Squash and the National coaches identify players who should be invited to participate in National squads.

Irish Squash and SportyHQ welcome any feedback regarding the rollout or use of this platform from players or clubs. Please use this Feedback Form.
