About Toronto
Toronto, the largest city in Canada and the capital of the province of Ontario, celebrated its 180th
anniversary in March 2014. Located on the picturesque shoreline of Lake Ontario, Toronto is Canadas
most populous region and just over an hours drive from the American border.

At 112 metres (367 feet) above sea level, Torontos altitude offers ideal conditions for highperformance
athletes.

Toronto features warm but moderate summer temperatures with an average of fewer than five days in
July with temperatures above 30C (86F).

Average monthly rainfall for July is only 67 millimetres. On average, one in three days will offer some
precipitation, but only one day in nine has rainfall greater than 5 millimetres.

Toronto is the third largest financial centre in North America.

The Economist ranks Toronto as the fifth most liveable city in the world based on factors including
stability, health care, culture, environment, education and infrastructure.

With a population of 2.6 million people, Toronto is Canadas largest city and the fifth largest in
NorthAmerica.

Torontos surrounding region is home to 8.1 million people, all living within an hours drive of the
Gamesarea.

Approximately 20 per cent of the regions population was born in the Caribbean, Central America,

About

Introduction
On behalf of the TORONTO 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games
Organizing Committee (TO2015), I am pleased to introduce this
Sport Technical Manual for the TORONTO 2015 Pan American
Games.
Our mission ignite the spirit through a celebration of sport and
culture is built on the foundation of our values: joy, purpose,
accountability, collaboration and results. At the heart of this is
ensuring that the TORONTO 2015 Games are sport focused and
athlete centred.
We are dedicated to providing a first-rate field of play and
delivering an outstanding experience for all athletes, coaches and
officials. We are also committed to providing athletes and teams
with the best possible conditions at our competition venues for them to perform at their peak, which
include a combination of transformational new facilities and iconic existing locations. The training
facilities will be of similarly high standard and will be conveniently located within easy reach of the
Athletes Village and satellite accommodation locations.
To assist you in your Games preparations, we have prepared this Sport Technical Manual in collaboration
with your respective Continental and International Federations. This manual provides the necessary
sport-specific content for the successful delivery of each sport competition as well as operational and
general information that may be of interest to athletes and teams.
The Games provide an opportunity to celebrate and strengthen the goals of fair play and diversity, foster
lifelong friendships, promote accessibility and inclusion, and encourage all of us, on and off the field, to
practice good sportsmanship.
We look forward to welcoming you to Toronto in July 2015.

Format
The squash competition at the TORONTO 2015 Pan American Games will be played in three events
each for men and women in an open category: individual, doubles and teams.
The qualification tournament will confirm the participation of up to 10 countries in the mens category
and eight countries in the womens category. Qualified countries not enrolled may be replaced by the
next highest-ranked country in the qualifying tournament.

Singles competition
Each country, qualified by team results at the 2014 Pan American Championship in September 2014,
may enroll two males and two females for individual competition. Additionally, there will be one mens
wild card entry and one womens wild-card entry. The wild cards will be from Federacion Pan American
de Squash (FPS) member countries that did not qualify as a team.

Scoring and matches

In all individual events, the PARS (point-a-rally scoring) system, up to 11 points, will be used. One match
will be the best of five games according to World Squash Federation (WSF) regulations.
Draws and seeds
Draws of 32, 16 or 8 will be formed in individual matches. The draw size will be determined by the
nominal entries.
The event will be played according to direct elimination, with no consolation round.

Squash

The championships technical delegate/technical committee will seed the draw using the following criteria:
Level 1

Level 2
Level 3
Level 4
Level 5
Level 6

Men: PSA (Professional Squash Association) 1 to 60

Women: WISPA (Womens International Squash Players Association) 1 to 40
FPS: 1 to 8, previous year event results
Men: PSA 61 to 120 women: WISPA 41 to 80
FPS: 9 to 16, previous year event results
Men: PSA 121 to 180 women: WISPA 81 to 120
Each countrys team order

In the singles event, competition between players from the same country will be avoided in the first round.
Seeds will be confirmed at the technical meeting to be held on Friday, July 10, 2015, at Exhibition Centre,
when the different positions in tables will be drawn using the tournament software. At the technical
meeting, special consideration may be given to entries who were previously highly ranked in PSA and the
Womens Squash Association (WSA), who are not now ranked; but whose current form would indicate
they merit consideration for a higher seed.
The draw will be carried out according to the detailed schedule below:

In case of table of 8, 4 seeds.

In case of table of 16, 8 seeds.

In case of table of 32, 16 seeds.

The team events will progress in two stages. The first will be the qualifying stage and the second will be
the classifying (playoff stage). The size of the table will be defined according to nominal enrollment.
At the qualifying stage, round-robin pools will be formed (groups of all against all).
At the classifying stage, tables of 4, 8 and 16 will be formed to define the positions in the competition.
According to the number of nominally enrolled teams, the tables will be formed as follows:
For eight teams:
Two groups (A, B) will be structured at the qualifying stage. The groups will be formed with the
following seeds:
Group A: 1, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8
Group B: 2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8
At the classifying stage, the first and second qualified of each group will play a table of 4. The winners

Note: If time constraints do not allow the full playoff draw, then the third qualified teams will play directly
to define 5th and 6th place, and the fourth qualified teams will play directly to define 7th and 8th place.
For 10 teams:
Three groups (A, B, C) will be formed at the qualifying stage. The groups will be formed with the
following seeds:
Group A: 1, 4/5/6, 7/8/9, 10*
Group B: 2, 4/5/6, 7/8/9, 10*
Group C: 3, 4/5/6, 7/8/9, 10*
*The 10th seeded team will be drawn at random.
At the classifying stage, the first and second classified of each group will play a table of 8, with 2 byes
(direct passing). At the winners round, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd/4th (losing semifinalists the match will not be
played and both teams will share 3rd place) will be defined. At the consolation round, the 5th and 6th
places will be defined. The table will be formed as follows:
Box 1

For those classified in third or fourth play, a round-robin table (group of all against all four teams) will
define the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th places.
In the group with four teams, the match result between the third and fourth place team will be
carried forward.

Scoring
All team games of the competition will use the PARS system, up to 11 points. An encounter (tie) of teams
will correspond to the result of three individual matches of their three rackets.
Each individual match will be the best of three or five games, according to WSF regulations.
In the qualifying stage, if the score is 20, a third match must be played in the same conditions as the
previous matches.
At the classifying stage (playoff), if the score is 20, the third match may be played as the best of three
games or may not be played, since it does not affect the result (unless the classifying stage involves
a pool, where all matches must be played). If a third match is not played, the score of the encounter
should be recorded as 20.

Tables and draw

The teams will be seeded based on the results of the last Pan American Championships. The delegates
must submit the names of their teams players, in descending order of skills, to the technical director
before 17:00 the day prior to the team technical meeting. The technical director will circulate the team
racket order by 18:00 the day prior to the team technical meeting.
Any protest against the order of the rackets must be delivered to the technical director no later than
two hours prior to the start of the team technical meeting, which will be held on the day prior to the
start of the team competition. The protest must include a rationale and supporting documentation, as
appropriate. The appeal panel will determine the outcome of the team order protests.
At the technical meeting, the pool draws and racket orders for the day of the event will take place.
The roster of the team rackets may be altered up to one hour before starting the teams next tie.

If racket 1 does not play: 2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, and the racket 3 match will be a default.

If racket 2 does not play: 3 becomes 2, and the racket 3 match will be a default.

If racket 3 does not play: this match will be defaulted.

Order of matches
All encounters will follow a daily order of matches. This order will be drawn for each day among the
following possibilities (once an order is drawn, it will not be repeated until each order has been drawn):
1-2-3 1-3-2 2-1-3 3-1-2
All team members must appear at the scheduled start time of the encounter. If a player is not present,
the other players must move up the playing order and such match (i.e. racket 3) will be considered
forfeited (W.O. or walk-over). The player who arrives after the start of a scheduled start time will not be
allowed to make up part of the team.
The countrys delegate will be entitled to appeal before the technical delegate/technical committee in
exceptional circumstances. The racket game order will be maintained for each day of the competition.

Competition with an incomplete team

If a team has less than three players for any reason (injury, illness or other), then the absence will occur
in the last place or racket 3. The racket roster will be as stated above:

If racket 1 does not play: 2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, and the racket 3 match will be a default.

If racket 2 does not play: 3 becomes 2, and the racket 3 match will be a default.

If racket 3 does not play: this match will be defaulted.

A defaulted or abandoned (W.O.) match will be counted as 3/0 in games and 33/0 in points.
Under no circumstances can the racket order be changed during the playing of a tie.

TECHNICAL MANUAL

11

During team encounters, it will be mandatory for the players, coaches and delegates to wear the same
uniform for the game and each countrys representation.

Final Order of Teams in a Group

All teams will play against one another in a group to establish the merit order. This will be decided
according to the following factors:
a) First by greater number of encounters (ties) won.
b) If two teams are equal, then by the result between the teams.
c) If three or more teams have won the same number of encounters (ties), then by greater number of
matches won between these teams.
d) If two teams still equal, then by the result between the two teams.
e) If three or more teams are still equal, then by the greater positive difference between games won
and lost.
f) If two teams are still equal, then by the result between the two teams.
g) If three or more teams are still equal, then by the greater positive difference between points
won and lost.
h) If two teams are still equal, then by the results between the two teams.
i) Or, if more than two teams are still equal, then by lottery.

Competition Draw

Accreditation
Accreditation is the process of identifying individuals and their role(s) at the Pan Am Games and
ensuring they are granted the appropriate access to fulfil their role(s). The role of the NOC is to register,
appropriately, every potential athlete, official, dignitary and press person from its territory.
Applications for accreditation must be received by TO2015 no later than March 27, 2015, in order for
NOCs to receive their pre-valid cards (PVCs) before the delegations departure for the Games.

Eligibility Condition Forms

As required by the PASO statute, each athlete and team official must complete an Eligibility Condition
Form acknowledging his/her compliance with Games objectives and goals regarding participation in the
Games. The form is mandatory and must be signed by participating athletes and officials before their
arrival at the Games, in order for their accreditation to be validated.

Pre-Valid Cards
By May 30, 2015, and following the data verification and pre-delegation registration meetings (pre-DRMs),
TO2015 will produce and send out PVCs to each NOC. NOCs will be responsible for distributing the
PVCs to their delegation members before they travel to Toronto.
The PVC, along with a valid passport, will serve as an official entry document to Canada. Individuals will
be able to enter Canada using this process from May 11, 2015, to August 25, 2015, at 23:59 p.m., for a
period of stay no longer than six months from first entry. No additional entry visas will be required during
this period. The PVC will be valid for multiple entries, provided it is accompanied on each occasion by a
valid passport.

Accreditation Card Validation

After the delegation registration meeting (DRM) has been completed, eligible delegation members will
be able to validate their PVCs, which will provide access to the CIBC Pan Am/Parapan Am Athletes
Village once it opens on July 5, 2015. It can also be used to access other official competition and noncompetition venues, as determined during the DRM. Only once the PVC is validated does it become an
official Pan Am identity and accreditation card (PIAC).
Upon arrival in Toronto, delegation members holding PVCs can have their cards validated (providing the
DRM is complete) at one of the Accreditation Centres to gain access to Pan Am venues and the CIBC
Pan Am/Parapan Am Athletes Village.
