VICTORIAN GRAND PRIX GRADED CIRCUIT

 



In 2003, the Victorian Squash Federation implemented the Victorian Grand Prix Graded Circuit, which was the first time an event of this nature had been held in this state.

All Grand Prix Circuit events are played under the T&R Swiss Draw System and points are awarded for players' finishing position in each event. The player with the highest number of points in their category is recognised as the Victorian Grand Prix Circuit Champion for that particular grade, and the player with the second highest number of points as the runner up.

The 2007 Victorian Graded Champions and runners up were presented with their awards at a special presentation ceremony held during the 2008 Mountain Districts Squash Championships, held at the Genesis Fitness Club on 3 February. Click here to view trophy listing.
