Commentators Martin Heath and Charles De Sainte-Marie
A Jonathon Power feast also featuring John "powerhouse" White and World Champion & British Open titleholder David Palmer in historical matches played using the PAR to 15 scoring system for a last time in Toronto.
While the new scoring system to 11 points recently introduced by the PSA may be what the game needed to be made more attractive for television, best of 5 games scored to 15 remains what true addicts of the sport will prefer and miss the most.

Jonathon Power Vs John White
Jonathon had lost his last 4 encounters Vs John in ranking Pro events and he was determined to end the streak, so what better place to do it than in front of his home crowd in Toronto. John often hits the ball with such force that it sends it spinning in unpredictable patterns, and this makes it very difficult for Jonathon to plant his feet as early as he likes to before proceeding with his trademark hold-drop-or-flick-deep stroke-making. John has been working hard for months on end with Scottish expert specialists who have done extensive physiological studies of his game to help improve it. Not focused on John alone, they also studied his opponents. games as well in an effort to discover weaknesses in them he could capitalize on. Well it appears that the exercise would soon pay off since John reached an all time career ranking of # 1 in the world three months after this Toronto match was played. And so the stage is set between two of the greatest players ever to set foot on a squash court, and the last they played using PAR to 15 scoring, a collection item no doubt.
- Jonathon Power Vs David Palmer
David Palmer is not only one of the strongest player on the tour physically, he is also one of the steadiest mentally, and his countless pro tour titles and recent past # 1 ranking is testimony to that. He gives very few points to his opponents through unforced errors, and although his game is based mainly on .touring. his opponents to the 4 corners of the court, he is not afraid to go for low percentage shots as well. David had an easier match than Jonathon in the round that preceded this one, so if Jonathon was going to be a challenge to him that evening then he would have to bring his .A. game out and keep his fiery temper in check. A nail biting classic encounter that goes the distance.
