WELCOME!
Summertime – and the livin’ ain’t been so easy for diehard squash refs given the pandemic restrictions now in force. The officiating opportunities are few and far between – but at least you have this edition of the ‘Behind the Glass’ newsletter to keep you entertained – the 2nd edition using this new email format. So off we go with the usual array of cutting-edge officiating journalism, news, technical articles, announcements - - - and some funny stuff.

Well, it’s hard to have people achieving things when nothing is happening in which they can achieve something. Nonetheless, although we don’t quite appear to be beating the virus, things in the squash world seem to be starting up again - hopefully providing safety-oriented events in which our Referees can get back into action.
Meanwhile, here’s an inspirational quote that you might find of value:
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” ― Calvin Coolidge

RULES NITTY GRITTY - INJURY, ILLNESS, & BLEEDING
It’s inevitable that, in a sport featuring two people in a restricted space, swinging long rackets while chasing after a speeding ball – we are going to see incidents of injury, illness, and bleeding. This is the first time we’re addressing this topic in this newsletter series – and it’s hard to find a more appropriate video to summarize what it’s all about than the module that is made available on our database. It’s less than 5 minutes – so have a look at it and then come back here and we’ll finish off with some considerations that are not often talked about.
|
|
ASSESSING BLAME FOR INJURY
So that video offered you the standard review of this topic. Now we‘ll go a step further and briefly touch on a related topic – that of assessing blame. It is, of course, a consideration integral to each injury situation, and at times, it may create in you as ref, a certain angst – especially if you’re unprepared. You can minimize this anguish by having previously thought about the typical elements that inevitably play a role with injuries – especially with their multiple variations. If you take the time to mull things over ahead of time, (a couple are touched on below), including initiating discussions with other refs, you can ultimately create for yourself a usable and fair set of criteria that you can reference – thereby avoiding the sense of panic that can overtake the unprepared.
-
Subjectivity: Remember that the decision about the proper labeling of an injury can be more subjective than objective. For example, some might label a case of a player suffering a facial injury by a ball going directly to the front wall as self-inflicted - justified by claiming that that player should not have been in the danger zone (akin to the longstanding understanding that a player injured by crowding the striker’s swing has thereby caused a self-inflicted injury). Yet others might claim that it should be an opponent-inflicted injury - justified by stating that the striker should not have hit the ball in the first place. Yes, the reality is that any number of tweaks could be made to the description of the scenario described above to possibly alter the decision – but just as real is the outlook you as ref have adopted towards this type of situation.
-
Opponent-inflicted consideration: Short of an action obviously & deliberately intended to injure the opponent, one possible way of determining whether an injury should be labeled as opponent inflicted is to consider whether or not the injured player had originally provided the required freedoms to the striker. Examples of this would include being hit by a lost racket, or by an unreasonable swing, or by a ball headed to other than directly to the front wall. Considering such principles in your mind ahead of time should help you establish the standards that you can turn to when the time comes for a decision in a match.
-
Uncertainty: Sometimes, especially for injuries involving both players, it’s virtually impossible to determine exactly what happened without the benefit of replay and slow motion – and even then it’s not always easy. Typically, we see this with scenarios where it’s difficult to determine whether we were dealing with an improper direction to clear, or an improper direction to play. In those cases of uncertainty, consider that it’s perfectly acceptable to opt for what is usually the least detrimental approach and to label the incident as ‘contributed’ - given that such a label allows for the most recovery time and the probability of the match continuing.
So as you see, no answers are offered here, only an opportunity to possibly reconsider your current approach – especially if, too often for your liking, you’ve found yourself confused or uncomfortable dealing with injuries.

"Take your seats please, ladies and gentlemen," announces the ref, just before a men's final in Grand Central Terminal some years ago. At that moment, a loud breaking noise is heard – so the Marker then adds:
"Well, we didn't mean it literally"!

THE DATABASE
Once again we can’t help it – we have to remind you about this treasure trove of stuff for officials. This is the site for Canadian refs to find out pretty much everything about our program – including the records of your assessments. The database also contains a bunch of video modules, touching on just about all of the troublesome aspects of officiating – including proper explanations, blood and injury situations, and every form of interference. Go ahead – check ‘em out! And if you haven’t registered there yet – this is your chance.

THE SQUASH CANADA OFFICIATING COMMITTEE
The SCOC continues it work undaunted under the leadership of its new chair, Curtis Gillespie (AB) – having taken the helm back in March. Backing him up are the current members: Les Homme (ON), Joe Ellis (AB), Viano Oghenekevwe (QC), & Barry Faguy (QC). Of course, Geoffrey Johnson (Squash Canada Programs Manager) remains on the committee – along with Sandra Thompson as the Squash Canada board liaison to the SCOC. And finally, we are anchored to the rest of the Squash world by Dave Howard, our former chair who is now Squash Canada’s representative to World Squash Officiating and the Pan-American Squash Federation.

In case you’ve never been there, our Officiating Program has its own YouTube site where video modules (listed in the ‘Resources’ area of our Squash Canada Officials database are available for immediate playback – without any time-consuming download time (unless of course, you want the module stored on your own computer). TIP FOR USE: Simply click on the camera icon to the right of the title.

FOR ASSESSORS - INDEX TO RULES CLINIC |
We’re once more reminding Assessors of changes to program’s teaching aids, all found on the Squash Canada Official database. The Rules Clinic presentation has been modified to be more amenable to the typical club player who is mostly interested in a casual review of the rules. You may present it in its full and current form – but you also have the option of creating a custom version to meet the needs of a given club. To help with that, we’ve created an INDEX which allows you to locate specific slides by topic - which you can then collate to suit the request. You just need to click on ‘Resources’ in the menu bar – then scroll down to ‘Restricted Training Modules’ and choose ‘Rules Clinic’. In the ‘Notes’ at the bottom of the title slide, you’ll find a link to the full instructions.

At Windy City Open in 2010, one player in particular became labeled as a complainer – typically labeling the refs as responsible for everything wrong (slippery court, people moving about, etc) - which prompted one ref to exclaim: “He’d blame us if the toilet paper dispenser was empty.” |

This newsletter has reported several times in the past couple of years about the World Squash Officiating program (details about which are available at: http://www.worldsquash.org/world-squash-officiating-2/) and whose world-wide launch is impending. We’ll remind you that the WSO is a joint enterprise between the WSF and Professional Squash Association (PSA) to develop an online platform that will provide National Federations with the tools to develop refereeing in their country. What’s new for us folks in Canada is that our very own Dave Howard (NR), has now been selected to be part of the 10-member WSO Advisory Board – representing Pan-America North. To complement the above, here is an extract of a Q & A back in May with WSO Director Roy Gingell:
Q: Roy, you have been leading this WSO project, can you explain what is the purpose of the WSO platform and why it is a game changer for all our officials?
RG: WSO reflects the WSF’s and PSA’s vision to organise the world’s referees into a single integrated unit, providing worldwide quality, service and value. WSO is responsible for providing governance concerning all aspects of squash officiating to meet the needs and expectations of players, promoters and referees. The purpose is to support and encourage players and the whole squash community to have a better understanding of rules and match control, to become qualified as referees and move forward along the pathway of referee improvement. With both an up-to-date library of video resources and the modern-day refereeing ‘line of thinking’ clearly identified, this will ensure referees in every member nation will be fully aligned on rules and rules interpretations. In this way, both the quantity and quality of referees and refereeing will grow to the benefit of the sport.
Q: What services will be immediately available when the platform goes live?
RG: The training and education module of the WSO website web education programme for referees will initially target Level 0,1,2 and 3. The ‘Want to become a referee?’ and ‘Already a Referee?’ will be sections available in this first phase. WSO resources will form a key part of the provision for the WSO website to standardise and improve refereeing. It will help support both referees and member nations on this journey. The ‘Rules of Squash’ as well as an extensive video library of current clips will be available when the platform goes live.
Q: An Advisory Board has been formed to assist the WSO Management Team. What will be its role?
RG: The WSO Advisory Board is a group of individuals, representing the global squash community, who will bring unique knowledge and skills in the area of officiating, as well as assessment of officiating. They will bring support, offer recommendations and provide key information and materials in support of the WSO Management Team to deliver WSO’s strategic objectives.

REMINDER: CLUB-REFEREE CERTIFICATION REQUIRED FOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS |
|
Although all championships have been cancelled for 2020 because of COVID-19, it’s worth noting that for subsequent years the changes to requirements for those interested in officiating at the Nationals. Earlier this year, the Squash Canada Board of Directors endorsed this concept:
In the review of the status of officiating in Canada the study conducted by the Squash Canada Officiating Committee identified a critical need to increase the number of certified officials and recommended, among other steps, establishing policies to “mandate competitive players to take the online officiating course” as a requisite for entry in major tournaments. This was seen as a way to achieve two benefits: to better educate players on the rules of squash to aid in their own play, and to also increase the number of people in a better position to referee matches at events (from their Club level up to Nationals) when called upon to do so.

The ref decides for a let instead of a stroke. A wincing, and disappointed player says: I can volley that off the front wall. The ref replies: I don’t think so. The player answers with: I know you don’t think so. Then 2 rallies later, the player points out: See how I volleyed that? And the ref ends with: Yup – got it for the next time. |

REFLECTIONS ON CONTINUING EDUCATION |
|
Folks, we have a rare treat for you in this edition. It’s an article written by our very own Curtis Gillespie who, as a sideline to his primary function as a squash ref – dabbles in professional writing & editing. It appeared in a University of Alberta alumni magazine, and touches on the need for continuing education – but probably more on its associated need for humility.
Learning doesn’t end when you accept your degree. We are all lifelong learners, whether we pursue lessons in a class or a lecture hall — or these lessons pursue us. Curtis Gillespie, ’85 BA (Spec), reflects on the continuing opportunities for education that life throws our way, sometimes when we least expect them.

It’s Your Call
BECOMING A SQUASH REF WAS LIKE LOOKING AT MY OWN STRENGTHS AND FAULTS IN HIGH-DEF, ON A BIG SCREEN
One thing that unites people in sports is their universal antipathy to referees. In baseball, managers get into nose-to-nose shouting matches with the umpire, which usually end with the manager getting tossed. In soccer, some refs need security escorts to make it out of the stadium. In tennis, Serena Williams directed her abundant anger at Carlos Ramos in the U.S. Open last year. It’s not just the pros, either; after a recent minor hockey game in Lloydminster, fans physically assaulted two refs. For decades, as an athlete, I had wondered who these people were, these refs and umpires and judges, these masochists who willingly placed themselves in the crosshairs of everyone’s rage. Why would anyone subject themselves to that?
Turns out I’m the wrong guy to ask. When the Egyptian squash player Yathreb Adel, ranked 17th in the world, was upset with me in Chicago in late February during the Professional Squash Association World Championships with fans, coaches and other players watching — and the world’s top ref, John Massarella, assessing me — I began to wonder what had possessed me to become a squash referee in the first place. Adel was up against the sixth-ranked player in the world, England’s Sarah Jane Perry, and neither of them was moving that smoothly. I made a couple of tough calls and, after one, Adel looked at me and said, witheringly, so that everyone could hear, “What are you doing?”
I explained my call with stoic detachment and told her to play on, but if I’d had the cheek to say what I was really thinking, I’d have said, “Fair question, let me get back to you on that.” Over the last few years, my hobby has subjected me to the kind of pressure and scrutiny normally reserved for criminals on trial. Many of my friends and peers use their free time to hang out on golf courses and beside pools, sipping icy cold ones, while for some reason I’ve chosen to explore fresh avenues of potential embarrassment and mortification.
My interest in reffing squash began with playing the game. People play squash the world over and Egyptians are currently the dominant world power. The sport combines athleticism, psychology and emotional control like no other sport I’ve ever played or witnessed. Forbes magazine once called it the world’s best sport and if you play it, if you ever get the chance to watch the world’s best players close up, it’s hard to disagree.
But playing squash bears about the same relation to reffing it as making french fries does to farming potatoes — they’re related but being good at one doesn’t make you good at the other. Which was how I got started in reffing. I was playing at a reasonably high level, but no one, me included, seemed to understand the rules. Reffing in our league was fraught with anxiety. I figured I might as well learn the rules, since no one else knew them. That’s how I got hooked. There are elements to reffing squash that make it addictive, impossible to fully understand and open to wide interpretation. Kind of like watching Game of Thrones or parenting teenagers.
And once you get to the pro level, well, reffing is a challenge on a whole new scale.
There are so many moving parts, especially when you’re on the glass show court, which has seating for about 1,000 people and is televised. You’ve got an earbud in one ear attached to a mic to address the crowd and players, and a different wire in the other ear that links you to the video referee in case one of the players decides they don’t like your call and wants to challenge it. This happens with unnerving frequency. You have to communicate with the crowd, the players and the video ref simultaneously. On your lap is an iPad, with approximately 80 different commands and functions to track the game. On top of that, you have to actually oversee the play, which is tough at any level, let alone the professional level. Played right, squash’s speed and athleticism make understanding its movement patterns so difficult that you have to perceive and process them nearly simultaneously. There’s no time to filter them through a conscious decision-making process.
Oh, and for added fun, the ref sits in the middle of the crowd, so that when the aforementioned insulted player challenges your original call, you are part of the viewing audience that watches the replay on numerous screens. At the recent Worlds in Chicago, the entire front wall of the court morphed into a giant, high-def screen during a video challenge, all the better to highlight the call you just blew. It is a setting in which the opportunities for open derision come around with gut‑churning regularity.
So why do it?
They say life is a journey. I suppose that might be true for some people. But I’ve never thought that was quite accurate, in that a journey typically begins with a destination in mind and a sense of what route to take. But that’s not the way my life has gone. If my life has been a journey, there has been no one at the wheel and the dog ate the map. My life has often felt more like a big pot of spaghetti. I throw a handful of noodles at the wall and whatever sticks is what I keep doing. Not the kind of life advice you’d pass on to your children, but luckily mine are mostly grown and even found a few strands of spaghetti still stuck to the wall that I claimed was fatherly guidance.
But one thing I believe is that, through some sort of alchemical magic that none of us truly controls, we find ourselves in pursuits or professions that are less about conscious choice and more about tacking toward those things that tap into our character, our essence, our best and sometimes our less-than-best selves. Maybe it’s neither surprising nor positive. Some people may find their truest selves affirmed by becoming, say, white-collar criminals.
Many of us end up in unpleasant situations while on boards, or working as volunteers, or helping out a problematic friend or family member. In the back of our minds, usually during a rough patch, we ask what we did to find ourselves there.
That’s looking at it the wrong way around. We didn’t find the situation, the situation found us. Usually because the situation needed something and we could bring it.
When it comes to stumbling into being a squash ref, it turns out the demands of the role actually suit my personality, amplify my better qualities and highlight (hopefully for remediation) my weaker attributes. More importantly, the pressure is forging a clearer sense of who I am. There are some good parts and some that need work, but they are all me. And, if I am learning one thing working these tournaments, it’s that the best refs in the business are the ones who know themselves.
In the last year or so, as people have vented at me in at least 15 languages, I have come to understand that dealing with pressure is less about granular correction and more about placing my imperfections within a broader context of striving for fairness and equity. The best players can tell when you’re making mistakes of ego as opposed to errors of good faith. Those are two very different vibes. Once they know that you are of the second camp, they are more accepting of the occasional error (emphasis on occasional).
Not that I’m advocating we all take up hobbies that give us ulcers and sleepless nights. I have nothing against more benign pursuits and I have been known to indulge easier pastimes. But there’s value in scaring the jeepers out of yourself every now and then. Clarifying your strengths and weaknesses is never a bad thing.
Though I’d think twice about doing it in front of an audience.

WOMEN IN OFFICIATING
The federal government has established the goal of gender equity in sport at every level by 2035. Squash organizations at the national, provincial/territorial and community level are actively collaborating in the development and delivery of initiatives that strive to achieve that goal in our sport.
In keeping with that effort, back in early August Squash Canada announced the launch of the Informal Mentoring Program, intended to give women in squash an opportunity to access resources, guidance, and advice from mentors across Canada. It’s a program ideal for individuals who are looking to develop their knowledge or skills, but who may not have an identifiable mentor in their network. Officiating is an included category, and already a $700 grant has been awarded to Cindy Longley from BC in furtherance of her development as a Referee.

World Squash Day will “relaunch the game” when events take place across the globe on Saturday October 10th. That’s the prediction of World Squash Day founder Alan Thatcher, who is determined to help clubs and federations move out of lockdown with a campaign aimed at renewed growth. World Squash Day is endorsed by the World…
The countdown to World Squash Day 2020 began today with the launch of the global media campaign to promote the big day on October 10. Let’s be absolutely clear. Squash, like all sports, has been hit hard by the Coronavirus lockdown. We now have a wonderful opportunity to re-launch the game on World Squash Day.

BIG BROTHER AIN’T WATCHING
Many of you are no doubt familiar with the CoursePark name given that it’s the online platform through which many of you more recent Referees passed to obtain your initial certification. Well, a few weeks ago, our crack team of Dave Howard and Andres Orozco managed to import the data of all CoursePark users into our main ‘Squash Canada Official’ database. After some tweaking of the site, things are now set up such that you can now view and change your own profile & preferences – including the option to receive or not, emails related to Squash Canada Officials (where everyone is initially set to ‘True’). Your status as Active or Inactive (everyone currently set to ‘Active’) is indicated along with other information in your profile. You can check out your info by clicking on your name in the upper right corner next to the ‘Log off’ option.

IN THE CHAIR
Profiling Canada’s Squash Officials
Vol. 1: Penny Glover
|
|
Penny Glover is one of Canada’s most experienced squash officials and everyone who has come up through the ranks has probably had the pleasure and benefit of being mentored by her. Penny started playing squash in the fall of 1964 at the Cardiff Squash Rackets Club in Wales. A couple of her uncles had been involved in the founding of the club and her mother had been the first woman member. She took to the game quickly, soon playing at the club, county and Wales levels. She was required to referee matches on these occasions, which is where she got her start as an official.
Penny came to Canada in October 1968 and found there was relatively little women’s squash in Toronto. She joined the Toronto Lawn Tennis Club which had a group playing hard ball squash on a regular basis, some of whom decided women’s squash needed to be formally organized. They set up the Ontario Ladies Squash Racquets Association and organized the first Canadian Women’s Squash Championships in November 1970. This led to a National Women’s Committee and the women’s game moving to the international ‘softball’ game. This same Committee decided to send a first-ever Canadian Women’s Team to the 1st World Squash Championships in Brisbane in 1976, a team for which Penny was selected. She was on the National team from 1976 until the spring of 1981. As Canada began participating in the international softball game, it was awarded the host privileges for the Men’s Worlds in 1977 and the Women’s Worlds in 1981, both of which led Canada to increase its homegrown referee training, which then in turn led Canada to develop its own certification program. Penny was one of the first certified female referees appointed at the national level.
She has been active in the officiating community in many ways ever since, officiating at local, provincial, national and international competitions, including the Pan Am Games. She has also contributed her experience and knowledge to the Squash Canada Officiating Committee over the years. Behind The Glass was able to catch up with Penny recently to ask her a few questions as the very first profile in our brand new series, In The Chair, where we profile various members of Canada’s diverse officiating community.
Penny, thank you for being our first interview for In The Chair!
I'm not sure I can do it justice! I’ve rarely been interviewed. Are you sure you don’t want to start with someone else. I won't be insulted!
Never! So, tell us, what is you like most about reffing?
I suppose it’s using my knowledge and experience to provide a fair outcome to a match. In particular, I think I enjoy providing an even handling of a match which shows signs of going astray and have the players concentrate on the play rather than behaviour.
What do you dislike about it? Any pet peeves?
I don’t really like refereeing players who clearly are focusing on their opponent’s perceived behaviour rather than their own play.
If you could say one thing to players beyond just the reffing, what would it be?
Stop focusing on yourself and concentrate on the game. And listen to the referee’s brief explanation of a decision.
Are there any players you’ve reffed who stand out? And why?
I’m not good at recollecting names but I have generally found that top Canadian players are respectful of referees. Melanie Jans is one name that comes to mind.
Do you have a ‘peak moment’ as a Referee?
I have always found it a privilege to be selected to referee at world championships. I can’t remember specific examples where I really felt on top of my game, but it’s always a good moment being complimented by players after a match.
Tell us about a difficult match and how you managed to control it?
I remember a match at the Northern Ontario Squash Championships which didn’t go well. The main thing I found was to maintain my cool and continue to give decisions as I saw them even if the player was less than accepting. Of utmost importance is to have a good vocabulary for the brief explanation of a decision a player is entitled to and not allow further discussion.
How can we get people interested in being a referee?
This is not easy as not everyone is suited to be a referee. Certainly, at any competition keep an eye out for anyone who shows skills and interest. Encourage clubs to run rules clinics which often pick up people who are interested in going further. Encourage interest in refereeing through local, provincial news bulletins.
What advice would you give to emerging Referees?
Get as much experience as you can. Continually re-read the rules and make sure you are totally familiar with them. Learn from watching. Sit near an experienced referee during a match and discuss decisions with them afterwards. And always work on getting your terminology right. It’s so important at every level.
Penny, thank you for taking a minute to chat with In The Chair.
The pleasure was mine! Happy to be the guinea pig!

LET’S TALK CONCUSSIONS!
This is a piece of news that you might want to take note of, especially if you’re working on your
promotion to National level Referee. The protocol that follows below will henceforth be your guide to
those situations where head injuries are suspected. The course offered by the ‘Coaching Association of
Canada’ is highly recommended for all Referees – but its successful completion has now become one of
the requirements for upgrading to National Referee status.
|

CONCUSSION PROTOCOL FOR CERTIFIED REFEREES *
– September 4, 2020
|
|
OVERVIEW
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury which can have immediate and/or long term effects on the player. The detection of this injury needs to happen quickly so as to allow proper medical follow up. This brief reference is to help squash Referees who might be faced with such an incident. As a Referee, you are NOT expected to diagnose a concussion, but you are expected to recognize its possibility.
Given that this is a relatively new addition to Referee responsibilities, it’s advisable you complete the free presentation offered by the Coaching Association of Canada on this topic (it should take just over an hour). It can be found at: NCCP Making Head Way In Sport. On the lower left of that page click the link: Making Head Way eLearning Series. Although the scope of the course is broad and viewed through the lens of coaching (dealing with signs & symptoms, along with post-game recovery, return to training, return to play, legal ramifications, etc.) our guide here will be limited to dealing with on-court incidents.
CONCUSSION RECOGNITION
Signs: These refer to any outward evidence seen at the moment of the incident or shortly thereafter, such as:
- The player suffering a blow, fall or collision involving the head
- The player losing consciousness
- The player otherwise exhibiting a slow recovery
- The player experiencing confusion, disorientation, or imbalance
- The player having impaired speech
- The player bleeding from the head
- The player clutching the head
- The player vomiting or having a seizure
Symptoms: These refer to any evidence expressed by the player after the incident, such as:
- The player having a headache or pressure in the head
- The player having blurred or double vision
- The player having sensitivity to light or sound
- The player having ringing in the ears
- The player feeling weak or dizzy
- The player feeling tired or drowsy
- The player feeling nausea
- The player expressing “Not feeling right”
REFEREE RESPONSIBILITIES
- Once the Referee suspects a concussion, the player is asked to leave the court for further evaluation. A return to play is allowed only if the player is cleared by the appropriate medical authority.
- If any other person (coach, administrator, opponent, spectator, etc.) makes a request to have the player examined for a possible concussion, this request should be granted if the Referee feels it is based on reasonable grounds.
- The Referee then applies the rules as they would be for bleeding - meaning that the concussion issue must be resolved before the application of any provisions from Rule 14 or Rule 15.
FINAL WORD
As Referees, we must remain aware that while invoking this protocol may lead to the end of the match, a player’s long-term health is the greater concern.
* Certified Referees (Club, Local, Provincial & National)

FEEDBACK & INPUT
Yet another edition bites the dust – and the next one is set for early 2021. We hope you’re keeping safe throughout all of this, and that our world of squash as we knew it rises up once again – with this pandemic being but an unpleasant memory. Meanwhile, if before that next edition you’ve got something to say - email Geoffrey Johnson (Squash Canada Programs Manager) at: geoff.johnson@squash.ca
