WISPA can confirm today following a Board
meeting that the scoring of all matches played on the WISPA World Tour will
move to what we terms Pro-Scoring from 21 July i.e. beginning with the
CIMB Malaysian Open in Kuala Lumpur .
The scoring of point a rally to 11 points
(PAR11) is the same as that used on the PSA Men’s Tour.
‘After a 16 month period of testing we have
assured ourselves that Pro Scoring will work well for our Tour, be
simple to understand for spectators and viewers and align the professional
game, the men having settled into (PAR 11)’ confirmed Chief Executive Andrew
Shelley.
WISPA President Natalie Grainger commented. ‘Pro-Scoring
has been very enthusiastically received at our trial events so I am
excited that we have made the change. It will take our players a short while
to adapt to the different structure of games but I have no doubt whatsoever
that this is another forward step for women’s international squash’
