Ranking Points

The England Squash National Rankings are powered by SquashLevels and include all the players who have their country set to England and who have results recorded on SquashLevels in the six months prior to the ranking period selected.

This includes all the England Squash sanctioned events, many tournaments across the country, county leagues and many club boxes.

The rankings shown are each player’s SquashLevels level at the start of the selected month with additional damping from averaging their level over their last four results.

A full explanation of how SquashLevels calculates levels is available on their FAQ page.
