HOTEL
Acom Hotel
Leipziger Platz 22, 90491 Nürnberg, Tel. 0049-911-6505990, Fax 0049-911-650599-113
http://www.acomhotels.de
Reservations can only be made by the tournament organisers.
This hotel is only 2,3 km (5 minutes by car) from the venue.
TRANSPORT
From many European countries you can directly fly into Nuremberg. Where this is not convenient take a flight to
Frankfurt booking together with the train to Nuremberg main station.
Airport, main station, venue and tournament hotel are very close together for this tournament in Nuremberg. The
greatest distance with these four points is 8 km. And all four points are connected by a perfect public transport
system which we cannot beat by an own shuttle service for arrival.
So if you have booked a package we will meet you at Nuremberg Airport (NUE) or Nuremberg Main Station supply
you with the necessary ticket and guide you to the underground station. At the underground station at the official
hotel someone picks you up to show you the way to the Acom Hotel. From the airport you only need 5 minutes to
the official hotel and from the main station it is 7 minutes. Most times of the day the underground runs every ten
minutes.
If you have booked a package 2, 4, 6 or 8 we offer a transport on Thursday, 12th March 2015 from Munich Airport
(MUC) to the Acom Hotel Nuremberg at 20.00 hrs (about 120 min. running time) and on Sunday 15th March from
the Sportpark Nord to Munich Airport (MUC) at 16.00 hrs. (about 120 min. running time.
During the event we run a regular shuttle service from the Acom Hotel to the venue and back. The regular shuttle
service starts from Friday 08:00 hrs.
On departure we will use our own shuttle service again, if you leave from the venue. This is less than 4 km to the
airport or 6 km to the main station.
EYE GUARDS
All competitors at ESF approved Junior tournaments must wear approved protective eye guards, manufactured to
an appropriate national safety standard, properly over the eyes at all times during competition play. It is the
responsibility of the player to ensure that the quality of the product is satisfactory for the purpose. Players will not
be allowed to compete without this protection.
ESF REGULATIONS & PENALTIES
The tournament is part of the ESF Junior Circuit and will be run in accordance with the ESF Junior Guidelines, a
copy of which is available on the ESF website www.europeansquash.com. MNAs should make sure that all
relevant people (including coaches, managers and players) are aware of the Guidelines and their requirements.
SPIN e.g. All players must have an active, paid-for SPIN (Squash Player Identification Number) to participate.
Please visit www.worldsquash.org/spin to register.
The following penalties will apply, in accordance with the ESF Junior Guidelines, Section E.4.a, E.4.b & E.4.c:
E.4.a) If a player makes a late withdrawal from a tournament (2 days or less before the start date), a doctor’s
certificate confirming injury/illness must be provided to avoid penalties. The medical certificate (with a
translation in English) must clearly state the player’s name, date of birth and the nature of the illness/injury;
the certificate must cover the date of the relevant tournament and must be sent to the ESF office within two
days after the final day of the tournament (email: [email protected]; fax +44 1675 443440). Any
player making a late withdrawal not supported by a medical certificate will receive zero points for the
tournament which will count as one of their 4 best results for the rolling 12 month period and will be taken
into account when dividing the points to obtain the ranking average. This penalty will be applied
automatically unless the ESF office receives a doctor’s certificate within two days of the final day of the
tournament.
If a player commits this offence for a second time within a 12 month period, he/she will be banned from the
ESF Junior Circuit for a period of 12 months.
b) If a player has entered a tournament and fails to turn up, he/she will receive zero ranking points for the
tournament. These zero points will count as one of the player’s 4 best results for the rolling 12 month
period and will be taken into account when dividing the points to obtain the ranking average. This penalty
will be applied automatically.
If a player commits this offence for a second time within a 12 month period, he/she will be banned from the
ESF Junior Circuit for a period of 12 months.
c) If a player fails to play out all scheduled matches for any reason other than illness or injury, he/she will
receive zero ranking points for the tournament. Illness or injury must be verified by the tournament director
and, if possible, by medical certificate sent to the ESF office within two days of the final day of the
tournament. If zero points are awarded, the points will count as one of the player’s 4 best results for the
rolling 12 month period and will be taken into account when dividing the points to obtain the ranking
average. This penalty will be applied automatically.
If a player commits this offence for a second time within a 12 month period, he/she will be banned from the
ESF Junior Circuit for a period of 12 months.
