League play resumes, following the holiday break, on January 5, 2011. Only make-up matches scheduled the following week — 2011 Comfort Inn Open Squash Championships being hosted at Evergreen Squash Club.
The schedule is available on both the Quick-Draws VDSL site, and the Sport Central "Unofficial City Doubles League Pages".
A lot of the details are on the above sites. Each in its own format. However, the official source for schedule details is Quick-Draws.

Evergreen Doubles Ladder
We have fairly detailed information about getting a password for the club ladder on Quick-Draws, and, thereafter, recording scores available on-line.
In-house doubles — Notes
There will be no inhouse scheduled for the weeks of January 10th (Comfort Inn Open), and 24th (Pacific Coast Open). Evergreen's doubles court is closed from January 10 until January 19, 2011.
Couple of 9pm slots open for booking the week of January 3, 2011.
VLDSL has court on Thursday, January 6. 9pm court time should be open for booking.
A new year has begun. So, those of you looking to fulfill resolutions, looking to hit the ski hills, or head for heat, please let Lynn Broman know if you wish your in-house doubles availability, profile, or preferences, to be adjusted. Player preferences, as used for this week's schedule, are available on-line. N.B. preferences have been recently updated — so might pay to check yours.
It is a busy time of year, so be in touch with the others in your foursome.
If any groups decide not to play, please notifiy Rob Forrest, or Dana Merritt so that the court may be freed for web booking.
If you are unable to make your match, you are responsible for arranging a replacement. Lynn doesn't mind giving a hand in the search; but, it is your responsibility.
In-house Doubles — Ladder
Lynn uses the Evergreen Doubles Ladder to give guidance in setting up the foursomes for in-house doubles.
Consequently, you are encouraged to record all your doubles activity on the club ladder. The more data, the more reliable the rankings.
In-house doubles — Want to join in?
Let Lynn Broman know if you wish to be included. Please, specify wall, and preferred days (Monday, Tuesday, and/or Thursday).
Evergreen Squash Club — Fun Fast Fit
Extend your squash life!
An Evergreen Squash Club membership is one terrific value.
Been playing singles for a few years, and starting to feel a little slower, or not quite as youthful. Perhaps, not quite as fit as one once was. Then, I believe, doubles squash is what you are looking for.
Still fit enough to get on court, have good racquet skills, and able to anticipate your opponent's next shot, then you have what it takes to become a good doubles player. If you have always depended on your speed to compensate for your less than stellar skills, you should likely avoid the doubles court.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much enjoyment you will get out of the game. Don't have a doubles court at your club? Join Evergreen, either as a full member (so you can keep playing singles), or as a "doubles only" member, and keep the membership at your current club.
