Comparing the PAR-11 against the HiHo-9 Scoring for Squash →
Summary statistics of simulated squash games in Matlab between two theoretical players of varying skill levels comparing the Point-A-Rally (PAR) scoring system against the Hi-Ho scoring system. The mini-experiment was suggested by Mohan during the time US-Squash was making the transition at the state level.
“What I noticed that’s interesting is the likelihood of the weaker player winning when the dominant player is between 50-60% stronger than the weaker one. I suspected that the PAR system would be more favorable to the weaker opponent (I think I might have hinted this in my email to Rip on the PAR system earlier).”
