The players have! They got 40 players to enter into the draft for the upcoming season. You can check out the list of players here: nslsport.com/2024-nsl-player-pool-announced/
I love the idea of nsl squash really needs league format tournaments but I would've loved it even more if the format was the normal one, with this format the sense of squash is not there. If you want to make it exciting maybe add the powerplay system used in the cib tournament last year or maybe make it 4 players per team and if it's 2-2 you choose one player which will play the last and deciding team. This format feels so American i don't see this idea having success outside America
Fair shout. I do think while first match or two might feel that way, but NSL will be a full season. Therefore, it won’t be a once year power play we see with CIB. By the time you follow along mid season you may feel differently
I’d have to agree. I think a league and more traditional team format is an already exciting variety of the traditional squash match. Watching the exhibition, personally I was a little lost seeing players run around during a power play, or the player on court looking confused because they were being subbed off etc. Team formats of individual sports aren’t new, Laver Cup in tennis and Ryder Cup in golf. Think there is a way to make team format squash exciting but this seems to move too far past squash. I do want to game of squash to grow, I want clubs to be full and to see the culture around squash grow. So my opinion is that this is too far from the spirit of the actual game, but I hope to be proven wrong.
Love it boys. Let me know for next season if you need an Ohio team.
Interesting.. I think the players should definitely come together for something like this.

@@rallyreport hopefully so, maybe after it gains popularity they revert back to the traditional format

There are ideas that I do really like:
The draft
Paying players a salary
MVP
