Innes England Nottingham Open Schedule
Notes on schedule
I have kept with the strategy from last year where Grades A and B kick in at lunchtime. This means that most of the group matches from Grades C-E are completed by around 14:00. Players will need to hang around if they progress through the groups but those of you that lose will be free to start on the beers or leave the building in shame.
I have tried to keep all the finals together and have scheduled the Mixed final to take place on one of the doubles courts and at the same time as the A Final.
Players in multiple grades
Despite having more entries than last year we actually have fewer players taking part in multiple grades which will help with timings on the day.
The following players are in multiple grades. I have tried to avoid direct clashes wherever possible but please be aware that you will be playing a lot of matches in the day and at times back to back.
Ryan Bond, Andrew Hopwood, Saoirse O’Sullivan, Tom Napier, Jack Dukes, Ria Kennerley, Noah Duckworth, Megan Harlow, Matthew Broadberry.
If I have missed anyone off please let me know.
Breaks between matches
I have tried to keep this sensible where possible however there are times when you will need to play games in quick succession and times where you will have a reasonable break. This is the nature of the event so please plan your eating and downtime. I can recommend a book “Love Unscripted” by Owen Nicholls, a friends first book so had to get a plug in somewhere… https://www.waterstones.com/book/love-unscripted/owen-nicholls/9781472263155

Innes England Nottingham Open Draws
The draws are all online for this Saturday’s event. If anyone has any issues email me as soon as you can to let me know, as I will be building the schedule this evening. mark@starsportsdevelopment.com
D/E Grade
I have tried to be flexible where possible and move player’s grades around but this has not always been possible. Players in the E Grade will notice that it is actually a combined E and bottom end of D, I think that everyone will have a lot more fun in one big group. There is not much of a gap in squash levels and I have decided to merge these grades to maintain the tournaments traditional format.
Mixed
The winners of each grade will progress through to the semi finals. The final quarter final spot will go to a lucky loser. All 2nd place finishers will be placed in a hat. Best of luck!
It really is a fantastic turnout for this years Nottingham Open Doubles. Once I finished processing everything it turned out to actually be slightly higher than last year so the biggest event that we have ever run. Thank you again for your continued support for this event. I hope that you have a great time on Saturday!

Nottingham Doubles ENTRY LIST NOTES
I have uploaded an entry list to the website. It’s a great entry this year, which means that we have had to juggle the grades around slightly. For the most part I have done this based on SquashLevels. However as you will see sometimes players in a lower grade do have a higher SquashLevels than a player in the grade above.
There are a couple of reasons for this. I have not dropped players down by more than one grade (they might have doubles specialists so know something that I don't). I have taken into account how early people entered as I think that this is fair. I hope that this all makes sense, where possible I have tried to keep people happy so that everyone has a great time on Saturday!
If anyone does have any issues please let me know as soon as you can as the draws will be done today. Please email me mark@starsportsdevelopment.com and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I do have PSL tonight so might not come back to you straight away so don’t panic if this is the case I will get to your email.
The tournament is looking great this year and I hope that you are all looking forward to Saturday as much as me!

The return of Peter Marshall and Simon Parke
Two squash legends are set to make their annual return to Nottingham Squash Club for the Innes England Nottingham Open doubles. Ex World no.2 Peter Marshall and ex World no.3 Simon Parke will form a legendary squash doubles pairing and take on the young professionals in the A Grade.
Peter Marshall
With his unique double-handed playing style, Marshall finished runner-up to the great Pakistani player Jansher Khan at the World Open in 1994 and the British Open in 1995. When he reached the World No. 2 ranking behind Jansher in November 1994, many observers felt he seemed a strong candidate to displace the aging Pakistani champion as World No. 1. However, in 1995, Marshall was afflicted with glandular fever, the effects of which meant he was unable to play top-level squash for two years.
Marshall returned to the professional tour in 1997, re-claiming his place in the England squad which went on to win the World Team Squash Championship title in Malaysia. He broke back into the world's top-10 in 1999, and won his third British National Championship title in February 2000. He was protecting a remarkable record, having been unbeaten in that event since December 1989.
Simon Parke
Parke was part of the England team that won the 1995 Men’s World Team Squash Championships and 1997 Men’s World Team Squash Championships. He also won the US Open title in 1999 and won the British National Championships in 1998.
Parke reached a career-high world ranking of World No. 3 (Oct 2000).
