Dear Brown Squash Club,
We are going to use Club Locker to run our ladder this year.

2. Click on My Account > Go To My Profile

Please let me know right away if you are incorrectly identified or placed on the ladder. Please play around with the system and let me know what you think. US Squash is willing to work with us to improve the functionality of the system.
Why are we doing this?
The RI Sqush league will be run using Club Locker this year
It will automate the process of posting challenge matches and maintaining the ladder.
All of our matches will be used to calculate our US Squash Ranking - some people care about that
Here are the current Ladder Rules:
When a match is won by the challenger, he/she takes loser's position; other players adjusted accordingly.
Players can only challenge 100 spots above current position. This will change to 5 on the first day of the RI Squash League Season.
No action is taken if challenge is not played by the play-by date.
Play-by date is 10 days after challenge is originally issued.
If challenger loses, must wait 7 before challenging same player.
Maximum number of concurrent challenges is 3
Maximum number of concurrent accepted challenges is 3
