The medal and placing playoff matchups are set in the Squash Team Competition at the 2015 Canada Winter Games, with playoff matches to begin Friday morning.
Four days of Round Robin play began the Team Competition with the 12 teams divided into two Pools of 6. A busy week for all teams and some important matches along the way have set us up for our Playoff Rounds. The top two teams from each Pool cross over to play off for the podium in the 1-4 draw. Third and fourth place teams cross over to playoff for fifth through eighth place, and the bottom teams from the pools play for ninth through twelfth.
Despite some very exciting matches, there weren't many surprises or upsets along the way to move teams into the different positions. Each of the seeds still will be playing off for their initial seeded position.
