Chapter 3

12. GENERAL (a) At any time between points, at the discretion of the referee a new ball may be put in play at the request of either player. (b) Play shall be continuous. Between the third and fourth games there may be, at either player's request, a rest period not to exceed five minutes. Between any other games there may be, at either player's request, a rest period not to exceed one minute. (c) If play is suspended by the referee due to an injury to one of the players, such player must resume play within one hour or otherwise default the match. (d) The referee shall be the sole judge of any intentional delay, and after giving due warning he may disqualify the offender. (e) If play is suspended by the referee for some problem beyond the control of both players, play shall be resumed immediately after such problem has been eliminated. If cause of the delay cannot be corrected within one hour, the tournament committee and/or the referee will determine when play will be resumed. Play shall commence from the point and game score existing at the time the match was halted.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

Transcriber's Note: For reference purposes, the reader may appreciate this list of Squash Tennis National Champions. The championship tournament may not have been held every year in the early 1990s. And although (as of early 2004) the most recent tournament was held around 1995, the National Squash Tennis Association considered Gary Squires to be the reigning champion when it reported to the New York Times through 2000 for the paper's annual comprehensive list of national sports champions. Gary Squires happens to be the son of the author of this booklet.
