Following a discussion at the last England Squash & Racketball council meeting there is an item on PAR scoring on the AGM agenda. To help you form an opinion on this issue I have attached a document recently received from ESR which makes recommendations for the 2009-10 season.
Following the ESR council meeting I have already circulated Men's Premier league clubs for their views on introducing PAR scoring in the Men's Premier League only in the 2009-10 season.

What is PAR (Point-a-Ralley) scoring and how might it affect you? Find out by reading this note from David Law the HSRA Secretary and Hampshire League Organisor. Some of you may already have contributed to the debate and surveys prior to the England Squash AGM on the 18^th of Oct 2008 where a motion was due to be put forward to adopt PAR scoring as the sports sole scoring system.
