15 matches in total. Pool play counts depend on the pool structure. For 7 players we use 2 pools, giving 15 total matches (round-robin within each pool plus the cross-bracket playoff).

For Squash, plan on 15 matches × ~35 minutes per match ÷ courts available. On 2 courts that's roughly 4.5 hours of play time, plus warmup and transition buffer.
