Hope you all are in the mood for some fun friendly competition because we will be hosting our last tournament of the year! On Sunday March 22nd we will have the Emily Byron Memorial Calcutta Tournament. The event will have a small $5 registration fee that will all be donated to a different NS mental health organization every year. This year we will be making the donation to the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia.
For those of you unfamiliar with a Calcutta tournament, It is essentially played as a series of cut-throat squash games. To help keep play fair and competitive, handicaps are assigned based on skill level. This means stronger players may start with fewer points, while newer or lower-level players receive extra points. For example, if Player A is a much stronger player than Player B, Player B will begin the match already at 3 points, and Player A would begin the match at -3 points, first to 15 points wins. Each individual cut-throat game earns players a score, and those scores are added together across all games played during the event. At the end of the tournament, the player with the highest total cumulative score is the overall winner.
