Change to Graded Champs Qualification (2023 onwards)

Following discussions with players and coaches Squash Auckland decided to change the qualification pathway for the 2023 Champ of Champs Nationals. Previously Squash Auckland held a district Graded Champs tournament (open entry) with the winners of the grades earning the right to be Auckland’s representative for that grade at the Champ of Champs national tournament. In recent years however, the entry numbers were very light for some grades.

To ensure the strongest side a decision was made to no longer hold the District Graded Champs and instead select the team to represent Auckland in the same manner as our other representative sides, with a selection panel inviting players to be Auckland’s representatives at the Graded Champs (previously called the Champ of Champs).  The team subsequently finished 1st equal in 2023 with hosts Northland.
