Hansfromdenmark Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Hi Again yes, the Squash competetion format was mentioned there. But I still don´t know how many days they will use. Som sport can play 2 matches pr. day, and other don´t. So it is hard for me to find out if I can get the Squash tournament Down to 6-7 days? And another question. Is it possible for the host to cut one sport, just as it possible to add one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And another question. Is it possible for the host to cut one sport, just as it possible to add one? Hi, Well, if there are 32 players, you will have a grand total of 16 matches in the round of 32 8 matches in the round of 16 4 matches in the quarterfinal 2 matches in the semifinal 1 bronze-medal match 1 final 32 matches overall - how you do it is completely up to you. But 6 match days with sufficient rest in between are recommended. I seem to recall stating the the tournament is to start before the Opening Ceremony. So that will help as well. Of course, it also depends on how squash courts you want to offer up. For example, the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow had six courts. Squash matches are played with best of 3 sets in the first three rounds; from semifinal onwards, it will be best of 5 sets. Each set is 15 points, and each won rally (in other words, each won exchange between two players) will be a point (the so-called point-a-rally system, or PARS).

If you'll allow two applicants from the same country, I'll chime in with Seattle 2028. Welcome to the competition! To make this as realistic as possible, you can definitely run with Seattle 2028. BUT there would be a run-off between you and New York City for passage into the Candidate City stage - with the Executive Board designating one of these two cities. If you ran with a city in a country that has not yet declared its candidacy, a run-off can be avoided. Either way: the more, the merrier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamC Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 January 26th, 2015 MELBOURNE CELEBRATES AUSTRALIA DAY BY OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCING OLYMPIC BID Melbourne, Australia - Robert Doyle, Lord Mayor of Melbourne, Alex Chernov, Governor of Victoria, and Daniel Andrews, Premier of Victoria, are set to hold a joint press conference later today at Melbourne Town Hall to officially launch the city's bid for the 2028 Olympic Games. The Australian city is joining New York City (USA), Cairo (Egypt), Sapporo (Japan), Paris (France) and a joint bid from Copenhagen (Denmark) and Malmo (Sweden) in what is already a very crowded field. Local businessman DamC has been appointed as president of the Bid Committee by the Australian Olympic Committee. In a written statement on his Facebook page, he highlighted the city's qualities and the great challenge that is an Olympic bid. "Melbourne is a sport-crazy city, with amazing facilities and great experience in hosting world-class sports events, from the Australian Open taking place right now to the F1 Grand Prix in a few weeks. We've already shown that we're up to the task of organizing international multi-sports events, with the highly-successful hosting of the Commonwealth Games in 2006." He added that Melbourne's plan will make sure to be financially responsible and focus mainly on existing venues: "Melbourne has an exceptional slate of world-class venues, which means the amount of money we need to spend on organizing the games would be much lower that what London spent or what Rio is spending. Most of the new venues will be designed with post-game use in mind. We will make sure that every single new venue will be useful to Australian athletes and the local communities after the end of the games". More will be revealed about the bid really soon, as the IOC expects applicant cities to deliver an application file in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
