TESTIMONIALS

I just wanted to thank you personally for all your help this season, for the support on the website and answering my questions and for changing/updating/adding matches when I asked for backtracked matches! You were great and the feedback from our league concerning the website and squash has been fantastic!

Geroge James Administrator, Okanagan Squash League

Hello Owen, I just wanted to let you know how much I like quick-draws. One of the things I like about it most is how quickly it loads -- no waiting for interminable seconds. Thanks again for all your good work, we will use your system again next year. It has re-generated a lot of competitive excitement in our league.

Don McEachern President, Okanagan Squash League

It’s so simple. It’s just so easy to use. And I love being able to view all the matches.

I tried everything to break your system, but I couldn't break it! Great job!

A Squash player who is an IT professional.

Its amazing how much talk there is about our ranking system and how many people are watching their ranking. Quick-Draws has had a significant positive impact on Squash BC and our squash community. It has been very well received by the players. They appreciate the ability to see all their matches online and how each match affects their ranking points. And as league team captains can enter their own match results, we save time and money from keeping rankings up to date, answering questions and correcting mistakes. Many players actively watch the ranking system, and traffic to our web site has increased significantly. We are very pleased with the system and the responsive maintenance and support from Quick-Draws. Congratulations Quick-Draws on a great system!

John Roche, President of Squash BC.
