Departures

The airport transport is arranged for today. It will go from Hector in the afternoon. Here is the schedule. 

Important!!!

There are lots of players who need to leave early on Sunday and who would normally miss their last matches. We are trying to make changes so that everybody can play their last match if possible. So there will be situations where some matches will be moved and times of the matches will change. Please check the website with the draws in the evening when all are done. 

Welcome to Czech junior open 2023 website   

All the important information regarding the tournament will be published here. As the tournament is getting closer there might be some updates to previously published information. Please watch this space for any news and updates. 

Venues

We are using 3 venues - Hector, Squash Bowling Centrum (SBC) and Squashpoint.

The categories will be divided in between the venues (Hector - BU17, GU19, BU19, SBC - GU11, GU13, GU15, BU15, GU17, Squashpoint - BU11, BU13). We will try to play the same category in the same venue during the whole tournament with some exceptions. On Sunday all the finals and 3rd place matches will be played in Hector. Some quarterfinals and semifinals on Saturday might be moved to Hector as well. Some plate rounds for lower positions might be moved from the venue where the rest of the category is played as well. First round of BU13 will be played at SBC on Thursday.  

Hotel

We are using the same hotel as in previous years. It is hotel Don Giovanni which is conveniently placed between the venues. Metro station Želivská is right next to the hotel so the connection into the city center is also very easy.    

Schedule

The tournament will start on Thursday at 14:00. We will use two venues on Thursday - Hector and SBC. Boys U15 (SBC) and Boys U17 (Hector) will play first and second rounds on Thursday. BU13 (SBC) will play first round on Thursday.

All the other age groups will start on Friday.

Seedings and draws

Seedings are published on esf.tournamentsoftware.com. 

Times of first matches for all participants are here. Please check this link as there is an updated file published there now. All changes to the initially published document are highlighted in yellow. Please be aware there could still be some more changes in case of another withdrawals before the start of the tournament. 

According to ESF rules we can only publish the draws at 17:00 on the day before the tournament start. So we will publish the draws on Wednesday, January 18 after 17:00 on esf.tournamentsoftware.com.    

Food

You can eat in all three venues. To enable you this we had to plan the amount of food for each of the venues which is always a bit of a challenge and we would therefore like to ask you to eat your food in the venue where you play (if possible). The lunch will be served from 12:00 to 15:00 and dinner will be served from 18:00 to 21:00. Thursday´s dinner will be served in Hector and SBC. It will be between 18:00 and 21:00 at SBC and between 18:45 and 21:00 at Hector as the room for food at Hector will only be available slightly later. As the matches at Squashpoint on Friday and Saturday finish earlier than in the other two venues we decided that there will be no dinner served in Squashpoint. Players can eat their dinner at SBC. 

Registration

Everyone needs to register at the main tournament office. It will be in Hector centre. It means everyone needs to come to Hector once to register and get a t-shirt and meal vouchers. You can play your first match in other venue and come to Hector to register later if you wish. Or coaches can come to Hector to register their whole groups as well. The office will be open from Thursday 12:00.

Some basic information about the tournament will be displayed in Hotel Don Giovanni lobby before the start of the tournament and also during the tournament.   

Transport

There will be buses going regularly between hotel and all venues. The transport will start at 12:15 on Thursday. The schedule is here and will be displayed in both venues and in the hotel lobby as well. 

Airport transport

Those with tournament packages which inlclude airport transport will be picked up at the airport and taken to the hotel. There will be someone waiting for people at the airport with Czech junior open sign. On Wednesday it will be Adam Sinkule (+420 722 721 934) and on Thursday it will be Lubos Walter (+420 775 381 616). They will meet everybody and help them to their cars or buses. If you can´t see them when you walk out of the airport, please just wait there or text them. They will be around and will show up quickly. If you know your flight is delayed before your departure from home, please let us know about this. If you are delayed at the airport in Prague for example because of your luggage, please let us know as well.
