Administration

Please arrive at 8.30am for so that we can make a prompt start at 9am. Refreshments will be provided for all players and coaching staff throughout. There will be refreshments for parents and staff from 9.00 am in the pavilion. Players to all wear protective boxes. Mini buses to park on the gravelled car park at the bottom of the Forest

Road. Parents can park along the Forest Road.

Rules

All teams will play 5 matches in a round-robin tournament format 8-a-side matches. Maximum Squads of 11 players. Teams cannot be changed during a game

with the exception of injury. Matches will be 7 overs per side. Each player bowls 1 over, with the exception of the wicketkeeper. Wide’s will count as 2 runs and no extra ball will be bowled apart from the

final over when normal rules apply with wide’s being 1 run and re-bowled. Batsmen retire when they reach 20 and may come back in if required. Before an innings batting teams will inform the umpire when they wish to

play their power play over where runs are doubled including extras. All other rules of cricket apply. 3 points for a win, 1 for a tie, 0 for a loss. In the event of a tie for positions in the group, the result between the sides

involved will decide the winner. If teams are still tied then the total number of runs scored will determine the winners followed by the fewest number of wickets lost in the competition and.

I would invite everyone to stay for the Presentations, which will be held at the pavilion at around 2:30 pm.

Player and Spectator Code of Conduct

The umpire’s decision is final always respect decisions – even if you think they are wrong!

Shake hands with the opposition after the game and applaud the batsmen ‘in’ and ‘out’.

When supporting parents should give POSITIVE encouragement and applaud good play from BOTH teams.
