1.4.2 If two or more Grade Clubs tie for first position, the clubs concerned shall be jointly awarded the Club Championship for the ensuing twelve months.

PART 2.0 eLIGIBILITY oF PLAYeRS To PLAY FoR A GRADe CLUB

2.1 GeneRAL ReQUIReMenTS2.1.1 The Constitution of the aCTCa (clause 34(3)(a)) stipulates that no player shall be

eligible to play for a Grade Club unless registered as a player with that club in the manner prescribed by the aCTCa’s Grade Cricket Committee. The Grade Cricket Committee may call upon any player to provide evidence of eligibility or evidence in relation to any claim that the player may have made and may suspend the player until such time as the evidence is submitted and considered by the Committee.

2.1.2 The Constitution of the aCTCa (clause 34(3)(c)) deals with transfer of registration from one of its Grade Clubs to another club in any cricket season.

2.1.3 The Constitution of the aCTCa (clause 34(3)(e)) deals with registration of players who are also, in any cricket season, registered with a club in another association.

2.1.4 no player under suspension imposed by the aCTCa or any other recognised cricket association or club may play in any match while such suspension is in force. Unless good reason is shown, any club playing a player who is not eligible to play for the club or who is under suspension or disqualification or who is in breach of the Constitution or Competition Rules 2.1 to 2.3 inclusive shall forfeit the match or matches in which such player participates.

2.1.5 a junior registered player with a club may play senior cricket for that club. The player must meet the requirement of at least three junior matches before being eligible to play in a finals series.

2.2 PARTICIPATIon In MoRe THAn one MATCH In A RoUnD2.2.1 no player shall play in more than one match in the same round of matches, or play in

more than one match in the semi final or final matches, except as provided for in Rule 2.3. In a round of matches players playing in a higher grade shall not act as substitutes in a lower grade.

2.2.2 no player shall play in both the Grade Competition (or the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup)) and any match organised by an affiliate (excepting the Junior and Youth Councils) of the association on the same day.

2.3 SeLeCTIon In RePReSenTATIVe MATCHeS–Player Replacement2.3.1 The first principle to be adopted is that representative players should be permitted

to play in grade matches whenever they are available (ie. whilst not engaged as players or officials on representative duties) provided they play no lower than the grade at which they last played in the current season. The second principle is that players selected in a representative match after the grade match has commenced must be replaced. The ability of the replacement player must be, as far as is


practicable, equal to the grade in which he or she is selected. If clubs wish to use these ‘player replacement’ rules, they must ‘select’ their representative players in the appropriate match and grade (even though the player may have already been selected for representative duties as a player or official).

2.3.2 In the event of the aCT Cricket association, another association or Cricket australia selecting a player (as a player or official) for a representative match, that player may, or in the case of a match in progress must, be replaced in the team in which the club selected the player at any time during the grade match in question, provided the player was undertaking representative duties. as a consequence of such representative absences, and within the spirit of the game, other players who are either replacing or being replaced by a representative player are to be of like skills, ie batter for batter or bowler for bowler etc. It is acknowledged that there will be consequential effects in the lower grades in the instances outlined above.

Clubs shall ‘bracket’ the names of players participating in these ‘replacement rules’ at the first opportunity after representative selection is made. The opposing captain shall also be advised of these arrangements and the matter will also be reported in the Match score sheets mentioned in Rule 3.1.6.

2.3.3 Where the innings of a player being replaced would otherwise be still in progress, the replacement player must continue the innings (and the replaced player’s innings will be deemed ‘not out’). Where a player being replaced has begun but not completed an over, the replacement player must complete the over.

2.3.4 Wherever possible, replacement players must participate in the whole of any competition round, semi final or final in which these replacement rules take effect (ie. when not acting as replacements, the players concerned must participate in the rest of the relevant matches in the grade in which they would normally be selected).

2.3.5 Where the representative player is unable to return for the completion of the match because of injury or unavoidable absences, the Rules shall remain in force as appropriate, ie replacement players shall remain in the grades to which they have been ‘promoted’, wherever necessary. Consistent with the Laws of Cricket, players whose names have not been provided to the opposing captain prior to the commencement of the match shall not be permitted to participate in the match, except as substitute fielders.

2.3.6 The Grade Cricket Committee shall monitor clubs’ replacement practices to ensure compliance with the principles of this replacement rule on the basis of information supplied in the Representative Player Replacement Form that will be distributed to all clubs. a club shall forfeit any points earned by that club in all grades for the relevant round(s) for failure to comply with these player replacement rules unless the Grade Cricket Committee determines that reasonable cause existed.

2.4 SeLeCTIon oF PLAYeRS In oTHeR CoMPeTITIonS2.4.1 Grade clubs are reminded of the Canberra City and suburban Cricket association

(CC and sCa) By-Law which states that players having played in First or second Grade in the aCTCa Grade Competition during the current season are ineligible for selection in any grade of the City and suburban competition without prior permission of the CC and sCa executive.

The information must be provided by 1900 hrs on each day of play (1930 hrs if play is extended in accordance with Rules 5.2.4, 6.2.3 and 8.2.3). It should be noted that there will be additional requirements for the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup), eg Goulburn media. These will be advised separately by the Grade Cricket Committee.

This information should be forwarded by electronic mail or fax.

3.1.3 In the event of any day being washed out or there being no play for whatever reason, this information is to be included on the reports. In the event of any day being washed out or there being no play for whatever reason, information must be provided as per Rule 3.1.2.

3.1.4 The Match score sheets mentioned in Rule 3.1.6 may be used to forward the required information by fax to The Canberra Times.

3.1.5 The captain of each team shall sign the scorebook of the opposing side and endorse thereon the progress/result of the match immediately after the completion of each day’s play.

3.1.6 The captains of each team shall jointly complete a Match Score Sheet, and a Ground Report, after the completion of each match, and the Designated Clubs shall send these forms to the aCTCa’s Competition administrator at the office of the aCTCa by noon on the second working day following the completion of the match. The Match Score Sheet should list all players for both teams including full player names, ie first and last names in full, to ensure correct identification. all players involved in dismissals must be identified by at least surnames.

3.1.7 a post match facilitation meeting can be conducted between captains, umpires and a facilitator. When this occurs, the report compiled by the Facilitator will cover the requirements of both the Ground Report and the Report on Official Umpires as above. Detailed instructions for the conduct of such meetings will be issued separately.


3.2 GRoUnD PRePARATIon3.2.1 satisfactory ground preparation means turf pitches properly mown, rolled and

marked; boundary line adequately identified; and, for limited over matches first grade to fifth grades, field restriction line adequately marked.

3.2.2 Clubs found guilty of unsatisfactory ground preparation at grounds upon which one of its teams is scheduled to play, shall be penalised through forfeiture of match points earned by the team using the ground for that match, and in addition, may be fined. Clubs found guilty of unsatisfactory ground preparation at grounds upon which none of its teams is scheduled to play, shall also be fined. However, no club shall be held responsible for any action affecting the preparation of a pitch or ground where such action is beyond the control of the club.

3.2.3 Where turf pitches are being used, marks are to be placed on the pitch at both ends to assist in identifying the danger area. The marks will be located on both sides of the pitch five feet (1.525m) in front of the popping crease and on the bowling crease twelve inches (30.48cms) on either side of the middle stump. These measurements are taken from the back or inside edge of the markings. Refer Appendix A.

3.2.4 In one day limited overs matches, additional markings shall be made to assist in adjudging Wides. These markings shall be 75 centimetres from the outside of the off stump on either side of the pitch. The lines are to extend backwards from the popping crease and forward from the bowling crease. Refer Appendix B.

3.2.5 Full penalties for unsatisfactory ground preparation are prescribed in Part 4.

3.3 USe AnD MAInTenAnCe oF TURF PITCHeS3.3.1 In matches played on consecutive days the Laws of Cricket shall apply, but in

matches not played on consecutive days, the same pitch shall be freshly prepared. However, in the event that the pitch, between playing days, has been damaged or is unfit to play (however caused), and if the captains agree to play on another pitch at the same ground, the match will continue and the end result will stand. If another pitch is used in accordance with this Rule, the captains in their Ground Reports will provide details about its use.

3.3.2 Clubs are responsible for turf pitch upkeep and maintenance shall provide covers for use at all grounds where First and second Grade matches are to be played and are encouraged to provide covers at other grounds with turf pitches under their control. The covers are to protect the pitch and bowlers’ run-ups against the rain up to the commencement of play and during the match when play has ceased. However, where there is the likelihood of theft or vandalism to the covers in grounds which are not enclosed, the club may choose not to use covers up to the commencement of play, but shall make them available for use during the match when play has ceased. The covers are to be made of a material that will prevent the ingress of water.

a hessian underlay is required on the pitch when the covers are to be in place for an appreciable length of time. The Grade Cricket Committee shall apply the provisions of Rule 3.2.1 if failure to provide covers is considered to have affected the outcome of a match.

3.3.3 The club responsible for turf pitch upkeep and maintenance shall also be responsible for the placement and removal of covers both before and during play on any day of a


match. Where neither club involved in a particular match is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the turf pitch, then the Designated Club will be responsible for the placement and removal of covers once the match has commenced.

3.3.4 For the purposes of Rules 3.3.2 and 3.3.3 the anU Cricket Club is deemed to be the Club responsible for both anU south and anU north ovals.

3.3.5 Wherever practicable, clubs shall ensure that rollers are readily available for use between innings.

3.3.6 To assist in the protection of turf pitches and to assist in the prevention of injury to players, all batters and bowlers must wear spiked footwear. However, the Grade Cricket Committee may grant individuals permission to wear alternate footwear where a request is made in writing and is accompanied by a medical certificate. If any batter or bowler, without permission of the Grade Cricket Committee, is found not to be wearing spiked footwear when playing on turf pitches, the umpires shall record the infringement (identifying the player) on their match report, informing both the player and the player’s captain. In the case where no official umpire is in attendance, those acting as umpires should advise their captain who will report the matter to the aCTCa’s Grade Cricket Committee as described in Rule 4.3.1.

3.3.7 spikes must be made of suitable rigid material and be located on at least the sole of the footwear.

3.4 ATTIRe oF PLAYeRS3.4.1 While on the field of play, players must wear correct cricket attire. such attire shall

Club badges may be emblazoned on shirts and sweaters together with sponsor’s logos as approved beforehand by the Grade Cricket Committee. For approval for new logos to be granted clubs are required to submit an official request in writing no later than two weeks prior to the commencement of the display of the new logos/attire. The Grade Cricket Committee will respond to all requests in writing within 72 hours and inform the Umpires’ Council accordingly. Logos other than approved logos may be worn as a temporary measure; however such logos should be discreet.

3.4.2 Unapproved logos are not to be covered with sticking plaster or other material. Umpires may request that a player remove any such covering. Failure to agree to this request will result in reporting of that player and the club will be subject to penalties as per Rule 4.2.1 (c).

3.4.3 Head dress shall be protective helmets, white hats, or the authorised hat or cap of the club the player is representing. no other head dress shall be worn. White or cream socks are to be worn and for those wearing shorts, skirts or culottes, either long or short socks are permitted. Trousers are not to be tucked into socks of fielding players (except the wicket keeper). Thigh pads and other protective equipment other than helmets, pads, and gloves must be worn under player’s clothing. Players from the batting side acting as umpires must wear apparel which will clearly distinguish them from the fielding side.

3.4.4 notwithstanding Rule 3.4.3, coloured attire shall be worn in the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup), in accordance with arrangements to be advised by the Grade Cricket Committee. In the Womens’ Competition,


coloured attire as approved by the Grade Cricket Committee may be worn; however, all players in a team must wear the approved coloured attire, or all players in a team must comply with the requirements of Rules 3.4.1 and 3.4.3.

3.4.5 In the second to Fifth Grade one day and Twenty20 competitions, teams may elect to wear coloured clothing. all players in a team must wear the same colour—that is, all white or all coloured. In the absence of any decision to wear coloured clothing, white shirts are to be worn.

3.5 LAWS oF CRICKeT To APPLY3.5.1 all matches shall be played in accordance with the Laws of Cricket and the

experimental Laws as recognised by Cricket australia except in so far as they are altered by these Competition Rules.

3.5.2 (a) In Second–Fifth Grades there may be a maximum of twelve players on each side (not counting substitute or replacement players). Where a side has nominated twelve players, eleven fieldsmen only shall be on the field of play at any one time and one player shall not be permitted to bat. In these situations, Law 2.5 does not apply. That is, a player coming on to the field may bowl immediately, instead of having to wait out any applicable time on the field before bowling. In two innings games, the designated non-batter may be a different person in each innings.

(b) special conditions may apply to the number of players participating in matches in the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup) as described in Part 6, the Twenty20 competition in Part 6a, and in the Womens’ Competition as described in Part 7.

3.5.3 The batting side must claim a forfeit if the fielding side does not have seven or more players (including substitutes) on the ground at all times during play, and if a team, without good reason, does not have seven or more players at the ground by 30 minutes after the scheduled starting time, its opponents must claim a forfeit.

3.5.4 Underarm bowling is not permitted and if so delivered, the umpire at the bowler’s end shall call and signal ‘no ball’.

3.5.5 Where a nominated junior player arrives late to a first grade match due to having participated in the junior competition on the same day, Law of Cricket 2.5.(c) shall not apply (Player being absent from the field of play for more than 15 minutes).

shall provide the ball(s) for each innings that shall be four-piece balls for matches on turf pitches (two-piece balls in the Womens’ Competition). For matches in the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup), the balls shall be white. For one day and Twenty20 matches in second to Fifth grade one day competition and in the Women’s competition, white balls may be used if the Captains so agree before the start of the match. In the absence of any such agreement, red balls are to be used.

3.6.2 In accordance with law 5.3, captains may agree not to take a new ball at the start of the innings.

3.6.3 The fielding side shall provide to the umpires the ball it intends to use prior to the commencement of the innings.

3.6.4 The aCTCa shall provide the balls for the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup), and the white balls for the First Grade Twenty20 Competition.


3.7 GRoUnD, WeATHeR AnD LIGHT3.7.1 The Ground authority shall have the right to decide the fitness of the ground and

pitch for play. If the ground is fit for play, the umpires shall assume immediate responsibility. Umpires shall also assume immediate responsibility in the absence of any Ground authority. If in the opinion of the Ground authority the ground is unfit for play, it shall maintain authority over the ground until it deems it fit for play. Where a match is not played on consecutive days, the Ground authority also has the right to decide the fitness of the ground and pitch at the start of the following day’s play.

3.7.2 Where the Ground authority decides that no play is possible on any day, the Ground authority must advise the Designated Club as soon as reasonably possible. The Designated Club must take all reasonable steps to inform the competing teams and the officiating umpires, where relevant, as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in the Grade Cricket Committee imposing Fines not exceeding $50 upon the Ground authority and/or the Designated Club. If a club abandons (or cancels) a day’s play at any ground and it informs the appointed umpires of this a minimum of two hours before the scheduled start of play, no umpires’ expenses will be payable. In all other circumstances, a full day’s umpires’ expenses will be payable. attempting to contact an official of the Council —other than the Umpires observer, IF he has a mobile phone—particularly leaving a voice message—cannot be deemed to be providing notice, as such officials may well be umpiring also.

3.7.3 If the Grade Cricket Committee determines that play was cancelled for the day by a Club which is also the Ground authority without adequate reason or authority, it shall penalise the Club whose decision it was through forfeiture of match points earned by that team using the ground for that match. In addition, the club may be fined an amount not exceeding $200.

3.7.4 The Grade Cricket Committee may cancel play on any ground(s) due to weather conditions.

3.7.5 Clubs are not permitted in any circumstances to move a match from the scheduled ground without the prior approval of the Grade Cricket Committee or the Competition administrator if it is not feasible for the Grade Cricket Committee to meet.

3.7.6 Lightning (the 30/30 Rule) If thunder follows a lightning flash by thirty seconds or less, people in the open are at risk of being struck by lightning. (This is based on the fact that in 30 seconds, the sound travels about 10km, so, in these circumstances, the lightning is less than 10km away). In this circumstance, play must cease immediately. all players and umpires must leave the field immediately and must not return to the field until 30 minutes after the last lightning flash.

3.7.7 You should not shelter under trees and should avoid contact with plumbing. It is also not recommended that people lie on the ground. It is a good idea to remove spikes.

3.8 ABSenCe AnD CHAnGe oF oFFICIAL UMPIReS3.8.1 If only one official (aCTCaUC) umpire is present, ‘umpires’ shall be taken to refer to

the official umpire alone. But the official umpire may confer with the other person acting as an umpire for the time being. The official umpire will operate at all times from the bowler’s end.

3.8.2 If no official (aCTCaUC) umpire(s) are present, ‘umpires’ shall be taken to refer to the persons acting as umpires for the time being. When there are no persons so acting, the captains shall decide on any issue and if they disagree, the state of affairs existing when the issue arose shall continue.


3.8.3 If official umpires are not present, the captain of the batting side will nominate one or two persons as required (and not necessarily players) to act as umpires from time to time during periods of play. The person(s) selected must have a good understanding of the Laws of Cricket, the experimental Laws, and these Competition Rules. Those selected must also have the ‘presence’ of an official umpire and will conduct themselves accordingly. all players will afford those selected the same status as an official umpire whilst they are acting in that role. They will also have a reporting role through their captain (Rule 4.3) particularly in relation to issues covered by Part 4.0.

3.8.4 notwithstanding Rule 3.8.3, the captain of the batting side may select a person to act as umpire who does not have the ‘qualifications’ as described above, but if such is the case, then that person shall, on the captain’s nomination, be joined by a person with such qualifications who will act as an on-field coach/adviser (who may elect to operate from the square leg position). However, the person acting as the umpire will carry out the duties and responsibilities of an umpire.

3.8.5 In relation to Rules 3.8.3 and 3.8.4, if the captain of the fielding side has any concerns about the umpires and their performance, that captain shall:(a) Discreetly advise the captain of the batting side of those concerns, and (b) report the matter as per Rule 4.4.

3.8.6 Law of Cricket 3.2, which states that if there is a change of umpire, the replacement shall act only as the striker’s end umpire unless the captains agree that he should take full responsibility as an umpire, does not apply where the replacement umpire is a member of the aCTCaUC or similar body.

3.9 TIMe-KeePInG3.9.1 The umpires shall keep the time, but in the absence of official umpires, the captains

shall agree on the time-piece to be followed.

3.9.2 In no circumstances may an agreement be made to vary the starting and finishing times or the times for any adjournment other than in accordance with the Laws of Cricket and these Competition Rules, or with the prior written permission of the Grade Cricket Committee.

3.10 PoInTS In CoMPeTITIon RoUnDS3.10.1 allocation of Points

In all matches in all competitions, other than semi final and final matches, points shall be allocated as follows:

Result Points

outright win after leading on the first innings 10outright win after tying on the first innings 8outright win after trailing on the first innings 6outright tie after leading on the first innings 7outright tie after tie on both first and second innings 5outright tie after trailing on the first innings 3Win on first innings 6Tie on first innings 3outright loss after leading on the first innings 4outright loss after tying on the first innings 2Draw or no result 2Loss on first innings 0outright loss after trailing on first innings 0


In lower Grades (second to Fourth Grades) a weighted point system is to apply. a one day win is worth four points only. as per the Result Points table, six points apply for a two day win on first innings. However a two day game reduced to a one day match is still worth six points.

3.10.2 In the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup), bonus competition points in addition to the above shall be awarded as follows:

3.10.3 Bonus points shall not count towards the Club Championship described in Rule 1.4.

(a) The team that wins the match and achieves a run rate of 1.25 times that of the opposition shall be awarded one bonus point. The team that wins the match and achieves a run rate of twice that of the opposition shall be awarded a second bonus point.

(b) If a team is dismissed, its run rate will be calculated by reference to the runs scored in an innings divided by the number of overs available, not the number faced; eg 50 in an uninterrupted match. If not dismissed divide by the number of overs actually faced.

(c) Where matches are shortened and targets revised, bonus run rates and defensive targets are derived as a function of the revised target score and maximum overs.

3.10.4 If the Grade Cricket Committee determines that teams have contrived the result of a match for the gaining of competition points then the Committee shall deduct all competition points acquired during the match by both teams, and may fine each Club an amount not exceeding $200.

3.10.5 a team forfeiting a match shall forfeit two points and receive no points for the match.

3.10.6 If any team forfeits more than two (2) matches in a competition, that team, unless otherwise determined by the Grade Cricket Committee, shall be excluded from that competition. In addition, that team shall forfeit two points for every remaining match in that competition. It should be noted that the forfeiting of points may cause a team to complete the competition rounds with negative points. The negative points are subject to any multiplying factor as per Rule 1.4.1 and will adversely affect the Club’s standing in the Club Championship.

3.10.7 The opponents of a team which forfeits a match shall receive the highest number of points obtained by a team in any other match in that round, in that competition. This also applies if a team has been excluded from the competition as per Rule 3.10.6.

3.11 eQUALITY oF PoInTS oR PeRCenTAGeS3.11.1 If at the end of the competition rounds in the Grade Competitions, two or more

teams are equal on points, their relative positions shall be determined by calculating a quotient. The team with the highest quotient shall be deemed to have a higher position on the final points table. The quotient shall be determined as follows:

q = [(a divided by b) divided by (c divided by d)]

Where q is the quotient

a is the total number of runs scored for the team

b is the total number of wickets the team has lost

c is the total number of runs scored against the team

d is the total number of wickets the team has taken


3.11.2 If at the end of the competition rounds in Limited overs Competitions, two or more teams are equal on points, their relative positions shall be determined by calculating a net Run Rate (nRR). The team with the highest nRR shall be deemed to have a higher position on the final points table. a team’s nRR shall be calculated by deducting the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition from the average runs scored by that team throughout the competition.

3.11.3 In other words, nRR = Team run rate per over minus opponent run rate per over.

In the event of a team being dismissed in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its nRR shall be based on the full quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed.

3.12 InJURY PReVenTIon FoR YoUnG BoWLeRS3.12.1 Fast and medium paced bowlers who are under 19 years of age are limited by Cricket

3.12.3 Change of Bowling Type. Where a bowler changes between medium pace (or faster) and spin bowling during a day’s play:

(a) If the bowler begins with medium pace (or faster) the bowler is subject to the playing condition throughout the day.

(b) If the bowler begins with spin bowling and changes to medium pace (or faster) the playing condition applies from the time of the change, and any spin overs bowled prior to the change shall not be counted in either the current spell or the daily limit.

3.12.4 Penalties for breaches of this rule are prescribed in Part 4 of these Rules.

3.12.5 a bowler who has bowled a spell of less than the maximum spell permitted for their age (defined in Rules 3.12.1 to 3.12.4) may resume bowling prior to the completion of the necessary break but this will be considered an extension of the same spell and the maximum spell limit for that age group shall still apply. Following the completion of a spell, the normal break between spells will apply and the break within the spell is disregarded.

3.12.6 The ages specified above shall be those which are current at midnight on 31 august in the year that the cricket season in question commences.


3.12.7 a partial over shall constitute one over for the purposes of calculating the bowler’s spell. ie an incomplete over at any stage, and part of an over that has to be bowled after a break (eg part of an over having to be completed on a new day), then that part of such overs shall constitute one over for the purposes of calculating the bowler’s spell.

3.12.8 Where part of an over has to be bowled after a break (eg part of an over having to be completed on a new day), that part of the over shall constitute one over for the purposes of calculating the bowler’s spell.

3.12.9 Breaks between spells include intervals and interruptions.

3.12.10 If a bowler bowls in another match prior to a Grade match, then all overs bowled in that match shall count towards the daily limit.

4.6 CoDe oF ConDUCT InTenTIon:

The adoption of the Code of Conduct by the aCTCa and all Grade Clubs will ensure the spirit and traditions of the game of cricket are observed. By their adoption the association and the Clubs undertake that they will act appropriately to ensure that the spirit and traditions of the game of cricket are maintained. In this regard, the aCTCa and Grade Clubs formally recognise The Preamble—The spirit of Cricket—in the Laws of Cricket to be an integral part of the Code of Conduct.

The Preamble—the Spirit of Cricket Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be

played not only within its Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game. Any action, which is seen to abuse this spirit, causes injury to the game itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains.

There are two Laws, which place the responsibility for the team’s conduct firmly on the captain (Laws 1.4 and 42.1).

Responsibility of captains The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the spirit of the Game as well as within the Laws.

Player’s conduct In the event of a player failing to comply with instructions by an umpire, or criticizing by word or action the decisions of an umpire, or showing dissent, or generally behav-ing in a manner which brings the game into disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the first place report the matter to the other umpire and to the player’s captain and instruct the latter to take action.


Fair and unfair play according to the Laws the umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play. The umpires may intervene at any time and it is the responsibility of the captain to take action where required.

The umpires are authorised to intervene in cases of:• Time wasting.

• Damaging the pitch.

• Dangerous or unfair bowling.

• Tampering with the ball.

• any other action that they consider to be unfair.

The spirit of the Game involves ResPeCT for:

• Your opponents.

• Your own captain.

• The role of the umpires.

• The games traditional values.

It is against the spirit of the Game:

• To dispute an umpire’s decision by word, action or gesture.

• To direct abusive language towards an opponent or umpire.

• To indulge in cheating or any sharp practice, for instance

(a) To appeal knowing that the batsman is not out.

(b) To advance towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing.

(c) To seek to distract an opponent either verbally or by harassment with persistent clapping or unnecessary noise under the guise of enthusiasm and motivation of one’s own side.

Players Captains and umpires together set the tone for the conduct of a cricket match. every player is expected to make an important contribution to this.

4.6.1 The following Code of Conduct complements:

(a) Law 42.1 and The Preamble to the Laws of Cricket (as stated above) as it relates to the captains being responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the spirit of the Game.

(b) Laws 42.9 and 42.10 as it relates to time wasting.

(c) Law 42.18 as it relates to the conduct of the players.

4.6.2 Players, umpires, club office bearers, scorers, coaches, team managers and members of the association (known hereafter as players and officials) shall observe the following Code of Conduct.

(a) Players and officials must not assault or attempt to assault another player, official or spectator.

(b) Players and officials must not react with obvious dissension, displeasure or disapproval towards an umpire, a decision, or generally, following an umpire’s decision.


actions, which constitute dissension, displeasure or disapproval, include but are not limited to:

• The hitting of stumps.

• abuse of any equipment (helmets, bats, gloves etc), fencing, boundary markers or dressing rooms on or off the field of play.

• The throwing of any equipment whilst either on or off the field of play.

• Gesticulating to the umpire in a threatening or dissenting manner.

• Failure to leave the field of play within a reasonable time following a decision.

(c) Players and officials must not use crude and/or abusive language, that can be heard by another player, official or spectator.

(d) Players and officials must not engage in conduct detrimental to the game or conduct that may bring the game into disrepute.

(e) Players and officials must not use ‘well known’ crude or abusive hand signals towards another player, official or spectator.

(f ) Players must not ‘send off’ a batsman, following their dismissal, by word or action.

(g) Players and officials must not make any public comment or media comment which is detrimental to the interests of the game or which criticises other players or officials, clubs, club facilities or any disciplinary proceedings.

(h) Players and officials must not engage in any conduct, act towards or speak to any other player or official in a manner which offends, insults, humiliates, intimidates, threatens, disparages or vilifies the other player or official on the basis of that player’s or official’s race, religion, colour, creed, descent, nationality, ethnic origin or gender.

(i) Ignorance of the requirements of any of the provisions set out in this Code of Conduct (including the appropriate requirements of the Laws of Cricket) is not a valid or justifiable excuse for players, nor is it a reason for the Disciplinary Committee not finding a player guilty of any charge(s) or not imposing a penalty after finding a player guilty.

(j) officials who hear or observe breaches of the Code of Conduct must report the breach to the aCTCa.

4.6.3 alleged breaches of Rule 4.6.2 and Law 42 (Part 18) of the Laws of Cricket by players shall be reported by the umpires or by the captain of either side engaged in the match as described in Rule 4.4.

4.6.4 a player reported and found guilty of disorderly or improper conduct, or conduct which could bring them or the game into disrepute in any match, or arising out of any match, may be suspended by the Discipline Committee for such time and on such terms as it thinks fit and, during such suspension shall not play in such matches or classes of matches under the jurisdiction of the aCTCa or of any affiliated association as are specified by the Discipline Committee in its decision on the matter.

4.6.5 alleged breaches of Rule 4.6.2 by umpires, officials, or office bearers shall be reported by captains, umpires, officials, or office bearers as per Rule 4.7, except that the $25 deposit is not required.


4.6.6 Player behaviour will be ‘mentioned’ on Umpire’s Reports where:

(a) It is bordering on, but not quite warranting a formal report leading to a Disciplinary Committee appearance,

(b) There is a breach of the spirit of the game (as outlined in the Preamble to the Laws), or

(c) The Captain of a team has requested that a player be Mentioned under this Rule (in this case, the Umpire shall note that the player is being Mentioned under this sub-Rule).

Upon receipt of a Mention, the Grade Cricket Committee (delegated in the first instance to the Competition administrator) will review it, and make a determination as to whether it is appropriate to classify it as a Mention. If the Grade Cricket Committee so determines, it shall write to the player and his club advising of the reported incident, and stating that such behaviour is unacceptable.

If a player is Mentioned a second time in a season then, after the Grade Cricket Committee has reviewed the report, the player shall be called to appear before the GCC (or delegate(s) thereof ) for formal counselling. If a player is Mentioned a third time in a season then, after Grade Cricket Committee has reviewed the report, the player shall be called to appear before the Disciplinary Committee. If the player is found guilty, a penalty of a one match suspension shall be applied. each subsequent proven offence shall see an increase of one match suspension. The official Umpire’s Report form must be signed by the captain of the mentioned player’s team.

4.7 noTIFICATIon oF ConCeRnS, CoMPLAInTS AnD DISPUTeS4.7.1 Concerns, complaints, and disputes arising out of the conduct of any match or the

result thereof, not being matters covered by Rules 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.6, shall be lodged in writing with the Competition administrator. This submission shall be lodged by 1700 hrs on the first working day after the alleged concern, complaint, or dispute emerges. In order to obviate frivolous or vexatious submissions, a deposit of $25 must accompany the submission but shall be refunded if the concern, complaint or dispute is considered by the Grade Cricket Committee not to be frivolous or vexatious.

4.7.2 In an attempt to minimise disputes with respect to scores disagreeing at the end of a day’s play, the following is provided for guidance:

(a) In a scorebook, the bowling analysis takes precedence over the batting analysis; and

(b) If a discrepancy still exists between scorebooks, the lowest score prevails.

4.8 TIMe LIMITS FoR noTIFICATIon4.8.1 as a general rule, the Grade Cricket Committee will be expected to require strict

compliance with the time limits prescribed in Rules 4.4 and 4.7, but the Committee may, from time to time, consider any matter outside these time limits if it is of the opinion that it would be reasonable to do so.


4.9 DeFAULTeRS PoLICY RATIonALe

The need to formulate a Defaulters Policy is to protect the interests of the Grade Clubs, City and Suburban teams and competition and the ACT Cricket Association.

The Grade Clubs, City and suburban teams and the aCT Cricket association make financial obligations on behalf of players to provide facilities and cricket of a standard expected at grade or representative levels. Clubs and the association need the financial certainty to ensure their existence.

This policy is aimed at giving the parties a framework to ensure that they will have the opportunity of recovering money owed to them within a reasonable amount of time.

The policy is applicable to the men’s and women’s competitions and representative teams.

4.9.1. Defaulters notified by ACTCA Grade Clubs or City and Suburban Clubs

all players are expected to make a financial contribution to the running of a club in the form of a fee or levy as determined by the club or are expected to pay for any clothing or equipment purchased from the club. a defaulter is a member of a club or the aCT Cricket association who has failed to fulfil their financial obligation to their club or the aCT Cricket association.

If the financial obligation has not been met (and no scheme of arrangement has been made) then the club will list the player as a defaulter to the aCT Cricket association by 1 May of each year. a defaulters list will be distributed by the aCT Cricket association to each Grade Club and the City and suburban Cricket association. Players can be removed by meeting their financial obligation at which time the club or the City and suburban association will inform the aCT Cricket association, in writing, removing them from the list.

a player listed as a defaulter

(a) Will not be eligible to play in the aCTCa Grade Competition or the City and suburban competition until the association is notified that the financial obligation has been met or a scheme of arrangement negotiated.

(b) Will not be eligible for selection in any aCTCa representative team until the association is notified that the financial obligation has been met or a scheme of arrangement negotiated.

(c) Will be listed with the nsW Cricket association’s Defaulter’s list.

(d) Will be unable to register and play with another aCTCa Grade Club or City and suburban club until the debt has been cleared and the aCTCa notified by the listing club.

4.9.2. Defaulters listed by the ACT Cricket Association

The aCT Cricket association will also list players on the Defaulters list who have not met their financial obligation to the association. Players can be removed by meeting their financial obligation at which time Grade Clubs and the City and suburban Cricket association will be advised in writing.

a player listed as a defaulter:

(a) Will not be eligible to play in the aCTCa Grade Competition or the City and suburban competition until the financial obligation has been met or a scheme of arrangement negotiated.


(b) Will not be eligible for selection in any aCTCa representative team until the financial obligation has been met or a scheme of arrangement negotiated.

Meeting the financial obligation may be under an agreement or scheme of arrangement between the player concerned and the aCT Cricket association. The conditions of the arrangement shall be in writing and signed off by both parties, the player/parent concerned and the aCTCa Chief executive. If the scheme of arrangement is not adhered to, the aCTCa may withdraw the eligibility of the player to play or be selected until the scheme of arrangement has been adhered to.

5.2.1 The times specified shall be extended by up to one hour if time is added to a normal day’s play to compensate for the loss of playing time in the match (see Rule 5.2.3). However, in normal circumstances in the competition rounds, if a first innings result has been obtained and no further result is likely, then if both captains agree, a match may finish at or after the tea interval on the final day (for semi final and final matches in the Grade Competition in First Grade and second grade, read as ‘at the close of play on the second day or at any time on the third day’, and in second to Fourth Grade, read as ‘at or after the luncheon interval on the second day’). In the absence of any such agreement, play shall continue until the scheduled finishing time.

5.2.2 In Third to Fourth Grade, unless playing time is extended in accordance with Rule 5.2.4, play shall not extend beyond 1800hrs. an over in progress at those times is to be completed, Laws of Cricket permitting.

5.2.3 Law of Cricket 15.5 allows the umpires and captains together to alter the time of the lunch interval or of the tea interval. In the absence of any agreement, in First Grade and in all semi finals and finals, if no play is possible within 60 minutes of the scheduled commencement time the lunch interval of 40 minutes will be taken forthwith.

5.2.4 If play is suspended for any reason other than normal intervals then playing time equivalent to that lost (or up to a maximum of one hour) shall be added to the last session of play on that day and/or to following days of the match, conditions permitting. If all time lost cannot be made up on the same day that it is lost, then additional playing time up to a maximum of one hour per day shall be added to the subsequent day’s play in the match. of this additional time the first 30 minutes (or less) shall be added prior to the scheduled start of the first session, and the remainder shall be added to the last session. The total amount of time added to the hours of play under this Rule shall not exceed the total amount of time lost in the match. Play shall not extend beyond 1900. an over in progress at those times is to be completed, Laws of Cricket permitting.

5.3 DeLAY To START oR no PLAY on THe FIRST DAY5.3.1 If the start of play on the first day in the competition rounds is delayed or if no play is

possible on the first day, then the match shall continue to be played in accordance with the conditions of play for two innings matches (ie. as per Part 5.0 of these Rules). If no play is possible on the first day for all matches in that grade, then those matches shall be played on the second scheduled day as one innings matches limited to a 50 overs maximum per team (as per Part 6.0 of these Rules).

5.3.2 If one ball is bowled in one match in a grade on the first day, then all matches in that grade shall continue to be played on the second day in accordance with the conditions of play for two innings matches.

5.3.3. Rule 5.2.4 allows for an extension of available playing time in a match to compensate for delays and interruptions.

5.4 nUMBeR oF oVeRS To Be BoWLeD In A DAY5.4.1 The numbers of overs to be bowled in a day shall follow these principles:

(a) In First and second Grades, play shall continue on each day until the completion of a minimum number of overs, or the scheduled cessation time, whichever is the later (but not beyond 1900).

(b) In Third to Fourth Grade, play shall not extend beyond set hours.


First and Second Gradesnote. These are based on Ca Conditions

5.4.2 Play shall continue on each day until the completion of a minimum number of overs, or the scheduled or rescheduled cessation time, whichever is the later. However, play shall not go more than one hour beyond the scheduled cessation time above. The minimum number of overs to be completed, unless an innings ends, or a stoppage occurs, is detailed in the Table at Rule 5.2.

5.4.3 The number of overs to be bowled in a day shall be increased if time is added to a normal day’s play, in accordance with Rule 5.2.4, to compensate for the loss of playing time on a previous day in the match. In such circumstances, the number of overs to be bowled in a day will be increased by one for the number of minutes per over applicable to that Grade, as per the Table at Rule 5.2.

5.4.4 If play is interrupted or delayed due to weather conditions or other unavoidable reasons (such as injury to a player), and if there is a net loss of playing time in a day even after the application of Rule 5.2.4, then the number of overs to be bowled in a day will be reduced by one for the number of minutes per over applicable to that Grade, as per the Table at Rule 5.2, of time lost.

5.4.5 If a change of innings occurs during play, the minimum number of overs to be bowled that day shall be reduced by three. If necessary a rescheduled finishing time shall be calculated based on the number of minutes per over applicable to that Grade, as per the Table at Rule 5.2.

5.4.6 If the required minimum number of overs (or as adjusted) has not been bowled by the scheduled or rescheduled finishing time, play shall continue until the minimum number of overs has been bowled. If such a situation occurs without due cause, the Grade Cricket Committee shall penalise the offending club(s) in accordance with Rules 4.1.1(h) and 4.1.2. In recommending whether or not penalties should be imposed, umpires are to make allowance for circumstances such as the length of the innings on that day’s play, the number of wickets to fall during the innings and any other extenuating circumstances. For example, where a change of innings occurs late in the day, some allowance could be made when only bowlers with long run-ups are used.

5.4.7 For the purposes of calculating the number of overs bowled in a day, an incomplete over at the close of an innings shall be counted as one over, regardless of the number of balls bowled in that over. Balls bowled on the following day to finish a partially completed over shall not count as part of the required minimum number of overs for that day.

Third to Fourth grades5.4.8 as play shall not extend beyond set hours (see 5.2 above), there shall be target

number of overs for a day’s play. These targets (as adjusted and described in the following paragraphs), if not achieved shall be used as the basis for calculating any penalties which may apply. There shall be a target of 80 overs bowled on each day in competition rounds (96 overs in semi finals and finals), subject to the provisions for an early finish allowed for in Rule 5.2.1.

5.4.9 The target number of overs to be bowled in a day shall be increased if time is added to a normal day’s play, in accordance with Rule 5.2.4, to compensate for the loss of playing time on a previous day in the match. In such circumstances, the number of overs to be bowled in a day will be increased by one based on the number of minutes per over applicable to that Grade, as per the Table.


5.4.10 If play is interrupted or delayed due to weather conditions or other unavoidable reasons (such as injury to a player), and if there is a net loss of playing time in a day even after the application of Rule 5.2.4 then the target number of overs to be bowled in a day will be reduced by one based on the number of minutes per over applicable to that Grade, as per the Table.

5.4.11 If a change of innings occurs during play, the target number of overs to be bowled after the change of innings shall be calculated by dividing the remaining playing time by the number of minutes per over applicable to that Grade, as per the Table.

5.4.12 If the required minimum number of overs (as adjusted) has not been bowled by the scheduled finishing time, play shall cease in accordance with Rule 5.2.2 If such a situation occurs without due cause, the Grade Cricket Committee shall penalise the offending club(s) in accordance with Rules 4.1.1(h) and 4.1.2. In recommending whether or not penalties should be imposed, umpires are to make allowance for circumstances such as the length of the innings on that day’s play, the number of wickets to fall during the innings and any other extenuating circumstances. For example, where a change of innings occurs late in the day, some allowance could be made when only bowlers with long run-ups are used.

5.4.13 For the purposes of calculating the number of overs bowled in a day, an incomplete over at the close of an innings shall be counted as one over, regardless of the number of balls bowled in that over. Balls bowled on the following day to finish a partially completed over shall not count as part of the required minimum number of overs for that day.

5.5 LAST HoUR oF MATCH5.5.1 The requirements of Laws 16.6, 16.7 and 16.8 (that 20 overs are to be bowled in the

last hour of a match) do noT apply.

5.5.2 notwithstanding any other provision, there shall be no further play on any day, other than the last day, if a wicket falls, or a player retires, or if the players have occasion to leave the field during the last over (or last minimum over) within two minutes of the scheduled (or rescheduled) cessation time or thereafter.

5.5.3 Law 16.5 applies, and the last over of a match is to be completed, unless a result is obtained.

5.6 THe ReSULT5.6.1 Matches not completed in accordance with Law 21.1 shall be determined on the basis

of Law 21.2; and a match in which there is no first innings result shall also be regarded as ‘drawn’.

5.6.2 a match result shall be known as an ‘outright tie’ where the sums of the first and second innings scores are equal and the innings of the side batting last is completed.

5.6.3 a match result shall be known as an ‘outright win’ to the side which has scored a total of runs in excess of that scored by the opposing side in its two completed innings.

5.6.4 a match result shall be known as a ‘tie on the first innings’ where the first innings scores of each team are equal and the first innings of the team batting second is completed, and there is not a result in accordance with Law 21.1.


5.6.5 In this Rule ‘completed innings’ means an innings:

(a) declared closed (compulsorily or otherwise) or forfeited; or

(b) in which ten wickets have fallen; or

(c) in which less than ten wickets have fallen but which cannot continue solely because of the absence or incapacity of one or more players.

5.7 eLIGIBILITY FoR SeMI FInALS AnD FInALS5.7.1 a player shall not be eligible to participate in a semi final or final match in a

particular grade in the Two Day Competition unless the player has played for that club in that grade, or a lower grade, in four or more rounds (either one day or two day matches) in the Grade Competition, and in not more than three rounds in a higher grade in the six competition rounds played by that player prior to the Two Day semi Finals. If a player has played less than six matches then all matches played during the season by that player shall count. Furthermore, for the purposes of this Rule, players who have been unable to participate in any of the competition rounds because of representative duties (either as players or officials) shall be deemed to have played in their normal Grade in those rounds. Players acting as replacements (or as replacements for replacements) for players on representative duty in those rounds shall be deemed to have played in the grade from which they were ‘promoted’. Clubs may select a registered junior player if that player has played three matches in junior cricket in the current season. If clubs otherwise have any doubts about the eligibility of a player, they should contact the Competition administrator for advice.

5.7.2 senior Representative matches shall count as First grade for qualification purposes; otherwise ‘their normal grade’ shall be based on the most recent grade played.

5.7.3 Players who are unable to be selected for a round because of a Cricket aCT mandated stand-down shall be deemed to have played in a representative fixture on the day of the match missed for qualification purposes.

5.7.4 If as little as one ball is bowled, then this constitutes a match for purposes of determining whether a player played in that match or round.

5.7.5 see the Player Replacement Rules at Competition Rule 2.3.

5.7.6 When clubs have consecutive teams in the semi finals or finals in the Two Day Competition, a player in the higher of two grades who would normally have been precluded from playing in the lower grade and who is not selected in the higher grade, may be selected in the lower grade. Where a player plays in a lower grade in a semi final due to the implementation of this Rule, the player is eligible to play in the final in the lower grade regardless of the status of the team in the higher grade.

5.7.7 If a player is not eligible for any reason to play in the semi final or final matches, the player’s club may apply to the Grade Cricket Committee in writing no later than three days prior to the final series beginning supplying reasons why the player should be given an exemption to play. The Grade Cricket Committee, in its deliberations, will take cognisance of the skills of the player because it is not within the spirit of the game to have players participate below their level of competence. If clubs otherwise have any doubts about the eligibility of a player, they should contact the Competition administrator for advice.


5.8 FoRMAT oF THe SeMI FInALS AnD FInALS5.8.1 at the conclusion of the competition rounds in the Two Day Competition (including

both two innings matches and one innings limited overs matches in second to Fourth Grade), semi final matches shall be played in each grade between the four leading clubs in that grade as follows: First v Fourth; second v Third. The quotient specified in Rule 3.11 shall be applied, if necessary, to determine the positions of teams. The result of a semi final match will be as per Rule 5.6.

5.8.2 a final match shall be played in each grade between the winners of the semi finals. If a semi final match is drawn or abandoned or results in a tie (on either the first or the second innings), the team finishing higher in the Two Day Competition at the conclusion of the competition rounds shall qualify for the final.

5.8.3 The result of a final match will be as per Rule 5.6. The team winning the final shall be awarded the premiership for that grade. If the final results in a draw or tie on the first innings, the finalist finishing higher in the competition at the conclusion of the competition rounds shall be declared premier for that grade. If the final ends in an outright tie, then the teams figuring in that tie shall be declared joint premiers for that grade.

5.9 GRoUnD ALLoCATIon FoR SeMI FInALS AnD FInALS5.9.1 In determining the suitability of a venue to host finals cricket there are a number

of prerequisites:

• The ground would need to have scored, on average, three or above in all facets of the captains’ reports.

• Grounds would need to have available all facilities such as change rooms, toilet facilities and a functional kitchen.

• Covers need to be in a fit state and must be laid in accordance with competition rules.

• a scoreboard needs to be available that can be clearly visible from the field of play.

5.9.2 The First Grade semi finals are to be played on neutral grounds with Manuka oval being one of the designated grounds and the ground that is the next best rated First Grade ground from the Captains’ match reports.

5.9.3 In Grades Two to Five, grounds will be allocated on the basis of the team finishing higher will receive a home semi final provided the ground meets the qualification criteria. If the club’s top ground is available then the semi final will be played on that ground. If no home ground is available or suitable then the home club will have the choice of which ground it wishes to use. If that ground is unavailable then they will seek to use a suitable neutral ground. Failing to find a neutral ground, then the semi final will be played on the opposition’s home ground. If a club seeks a neutral ground, it cannot use one that will be required by a club as its home ground even if, that is from a lower grade. all semi final allocations need to be ratified by the Grade Cricket Committee.

5.9.4 The First Grade Men’s Final will be played at Manuka oval. The First Grade Women’s Final may be played at Manuka oval if available, otherwise Rule 5.9.5 will apply.

5.9.5 In Grades Two to Five and the Women’s Final, grounds will be allocated on a home final basis where the higher placed team (as finishing in the regular season) will host the match provided that the ground meets the qualification criteria. If the home club is incapable of providing a suitable home ground, they can seek a neutral ground.


If this is unsuccessful, then the home ground of the opposition will be used. all final allocations need to be ratified by the Grade Cricket Committee.

5.10 SHoRT PITCHeD BoWLInG ‘Law 42.6(a)(ii) shall be replaced by the following:’

5.10.1 (a) a bowler shall be limited to two fast short pitched deliveries per over.

(b) a fast short pitched ball is defined as a ball, which after pitching, passes or would have passed above shoulder height of the batsman standing upright in his normal guard position at the crease.

(c) The umpire at the bowler’s end shall advise the bowler and the batsman on strike when each fast short pitched delivery has been bowled.

(d) In addition, for the purpose of this rule, a ball that passes clearly above head height of the batsman that prevents him from being able to hit it with his bat by means of a normal cricket stroke shall be called a ‘Wide’ and will also count as one of the allowable balls above shoulder height for that over.

5.10.2 (a) In the event of a bowler bowling more than two fast short pitched deliveries in an over as defined in (b) above, either umpire shall call and signal ‘no Ball’ on each occasion. a differential signal shall be used to signify a ‘no Ball’ for a fast short pitched delivery. The umpire shall call and signal ‘no Ball’ and then tap the head with the other hand.

(b) If a bowler delivers a third fast short pitched ball in an over, the umpire, after the call of ‘no Ball’ and when the ball is dead, shall caution the bowler, inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred. This caution shall apply throughout the innings.

(c) If there is a second instance of the bowler being ‘no Balled’ in the innings for bowling more than two fast short pitched deliveries in an over, the umpire shall advise the bowler that this his final warning for the innings. The umpire shall also inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred.

(d) should there be any further instance by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal ‘no Ball’ and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over nor be allowed to bowl the next over.

(e) The bowler taken off shall not be allowed to bowl again in that innings.

(f ) The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as possible to the captain of the batting side.

(g) The umpires will then report the matter to the aCTCa which shall take such action as is considered appropriate against the captain and the bowler concerned. The above is not a substitute for Law 42.7 which the umpires are able to apply at any time.


PART 6.0 SPeCIAL ConDITIonS oF PLAY In one InnInGS LIMITeD oVeRS MATCHeS–FIRST To FIFTH GRADe one DAY CoMPeTITIon FoR FIRST GRADe (KonICA MInoLTA CUP)

6.1 Format6.1.1 In First Grade, matches played in the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica

Minolta Cup) will be scheduled as one innings limited overs matches; each match will consist of a single innings with a maximum of 50 overs for each side.

6.1.2 In First Grade matches played in the one Day Competition (Konica Minolta Cup), 12 players shall be allowed to compete. eleven fieldsmen may only be on the field at any one time and one player in each side shall not be permitted to bat. In addition a team may nominate an under 17 player to act as a substitute fielder. Law 2.5—Fielder absent or leaving the field—shall not apply. (This is due to there being 12 players.)

6.1.3 at the end of the qualifying rounds, a final series at the discretion of the Grade Cricket committee is to apply in the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup) in accordance with Rule 6.11.1.

6.1.4 The Grade Cricket Committee may vary the special conditions of play in one innings limited over matches set out in this part in order to conform, where appropriate, with changes to playing conditions for the Cricket australia Cup one innings limited over matches.

6.1.5 In second to Fourth Grade, each club will be drawn to play each other once in matches played under the one innings limited overs format in the competition rounds of the Grade Competition; each match will consist of a single innings with a maximum of 50 overs for each side.

6.1.6 In Fifth Grade, the draw is to be determined by the Grade Cricket Committee. each match will consist of a single innings with a maximum of 40 overs for each side. The Fifth Grade 40 over competition shall be played in accordance with the following Rules, but for 40 overs per innings not 50. The general principles detailed for 50 overs matches shall apply to 40 over matches, with the over numbers (for fielding restrictions and overs per bowler etc.) reduced proportionately. over limits are summarised in the Table at Rule 6.6.3.

6.1.7 at the end of the competition rounds played under this format, the leading four Clubs in each of second to Fifth Grade will play in a finals series to decide the one Innings Limited overs Championship in accordance with Rule 6.11.

6.1.8 In First Grade white balls are to be used.

6.1.9 In accordance with Rule 5.3, two innings matches in which no play is possible on the first day for all matches in a grade shall be played on the second day as one innings limited overs matches as per this Part. In these circumstances, coloured clothing and white balls are not to be used.

6.1.10 Black sightscreens are to be used in First Grade, where possible.

6.2 HoURS oF PLAY6.2.1 In competition rounds, semi finals and finals, matches shall span seven hours.

However, if a result has been obtained earlier, the match is at an end. The interval between innings may by the application of other parts of these Rules, be taken at a different time to that shown on the schedule below.


GRaDe sTaRT/FInIsH InTeRVaLFirst–Fourth 1100–1800 1415–1445Fifth 1300–1800 1515–1545

6.2.2 If no play is possible within 195 minutes (135 in Fifth Grade) of the scheduled commencement time because of weather, light or ground conditions, then the interval between innings shall be reduced to 20 minutes only. If no play is possible in any grade within another sixty minutes (ie 255 minutes, and 195 in Fifth Grade), then the interval between innings shall be reduced to ten minutes only.

6.2.3 If play is interrupted or delayed due to weather conditions or other unavoidable reasons (such as injury to a player) then playing time equivalent to that lost (or up to a maximum of one hour) shall be added to the playing time in the match, daylight conditions permitting. This shall mean that the Umpires and Captains together shall agree on a practicable time for finishing, based on the time of sunset, and the anticipated light conditions at the end of the day.

6.2.4 This is to maximise the chances of each team facing the same number of overs, and is particularly important where the innings of the side batting first is delayed or interrupted. as a guide, it is unlikely that play would be possible much after 20 minutes before sunset in overcast conditions.

6.2.5 In first to fourth grades, there shall be two drinks breaks, each 65 minutes apart. In fifths, one drinks break shall be taken after 60 minutes.

6.3 LenGTH oF InnInGS6.3.1 In an uninterrupted match:

(a) each team shall bat for a maximum of 50 overs unless all batters are out earlier. a team shall not be permitted to declare its innings closed.

(b) If the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of overs by the scheduled time for cessation of the first session (ie 195 minutes after the commencement of the innings), play shall continue until the required number of overs has been bowled, but the Umpires are to note the number of completed overs at the scheduled time (and allow any incomplete over to be finished and be counted as a completed over). Unless otherwise determined by the Umpires, the innings of the team batting second shall be limited to the same number of overs bowled by it at the scheduled time for the cessation of the first innings. The over in progress at the scheduled cessation time, even if the last wicket falls during that over, shall count as a completed over. If the last wicket of the team batting first falls at or after the scheduled time for the interval, the innings of the team batting second shall be limited to the same number of overs bowled to the team batting first at the scheduled time for the interval. The interval shall be taken at the completion of the innings. The official umpire(s), and in their absence the captains, shall report to the Grade Cricket Committee on the reasons for the failure to bowl the required number of overs, and the Grade Cricket Committee shall then determine the number of competition points (and fine if applicable) that the offending team(s) shall be penalised. (see Rules 4.1.1(h), 4.1.4, 4.1.5, and 4.3.). For example, in a one day match where a catered lunch is to be provided in the interval, and the first innings is completed at least 30 minutes before the scheduled interval, then the umpires may agree that a ten minute break will occur, the team batting second will commence it innings, and then the interval will occur as scheduled. Similarly, if the first innings is over well short of 50 overs, eg 25, Captains and umpires MAY together agree on a shorter break.


(c) If the team batting first is dismissed in less than 50 overs, the team batting second shall be entitled to bat for 50 overs unless the match is at an end.

(d) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the required number of overs by the scheduled time for cessation of the second session—or the extended time if the first session was late in finishing (and in any case 195 minutes after the commencement of the innings), play shall continue until the required number of overs has been bowled, but the umpires are to note the number of completed overs at the scheduled time (and allow any incomplete over to be finished and be counted as a completed over). The official umpire(s), and in their absence the captains, shall report to the Grade Cricket Committee on the reasons for the failure to bowl the required number of overs, and the Grade Cricket Committee shall then determine the number of competition points (and fine if applicable) that the offending team(s) shall be penalised. (see Rules 4.1.1(h), 4.1.4, 4.1.5, and 4.3.)

6.3.2 In a match where the start is delayed or where play is interrupted the object shall always be to rearrange the number of overs so that both teams have the opportunity of batting for the same number of overs (with a minimum of 15 overs for each team in the competition rounds and the semi final, and a minimum of 25 overs for each team in the final). The object shall also be to ensure that both teams are allowed the same amount of time to bowl the same number of overs. Therefore, the amount of playing time remaining in the match before the scheduled finishing time shall be allocated equally (or nearly equally) to the two teams by adjusting (if necessary) the time calculated for each team to bowl its prescribed number of overs.

(a) In the event of the innings of the team batting first being delayed or interrupted, and where there is a net loss of playing time in a day even after the application of Rule 6.2.3, the number of overs which it is entitled to receive will be reduced by:

i) one for every 2 x minutes per over (as per the following table) lost and the time allowed for the fielding team to bowl its overs will be extended by the number of minutes per over minutes for each over lost.

ii) notwithstanding the reduced number of overs, the principle of reporting delays and deducting competition points (and imposing Fines if applicable) covered by Rules 4.1.1(h), 4.1.4, 4.1.5, and 4.3 still applies should the fielding side fail to bowl the required number of overs within the allowed time. If the number of overs the side batting first is entitled to receive becomes less than the number of overs it has already received before the interruption then its innings shall be closed forthwith; Its final score will then be adjusted to reflect its score at the end of its ‘overs entitlement’.

(b) In the event of the innings of the team batting second being interrupted or delayed, and where there is a net loss of playing time in a day even after the application of Rule 6.2.3, the number of overs which it is entitled to receive will be reduced by one for every 3.9 minutes lost. Its target score will be calculated as per Rules 6.9.3 and 6.9.4. notwithstanding the reduced number of overs, the principle of reporting delays and deducting competition points (and imposing Fines if applicable) covered by Rules 4.1.1(h), 4.1.4, 4.1.5, and 4.3 still applies should the fielding side fail to bowl the required number of overs within the allowed time.

(c) The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the team batting first unless the latter has been all out in less than the agreed number of overs.

6.4 FIeLDInG ReSTRICTIonS6.4.1 at the instant of delivery there shall be no more than five fielders on the on-side.

6.4.2 Two semi circles shall be marked on the field of play, having as their centre the middle stump at either end of the pitch and having a radius of 27.5 metres. The ends of each semi circle are to be joined to the other by a straight line on the same side of the pitch.

6.4.3 only two of the fielding team are permitted to be outside the fielding restriction marking at the instant the ball is delivered, for the first:

• 10 overs in First Grade

• 15 overs in second to Fourth Grade

• 12 overs in Fifth Grade

6.4.3.1 In First Grade, this restriction will allow three fielders outside the marking for the two additional blocks of five overs, one of which must be selected by the fielding captain, and one by the batting captain.

6.4.3.2 In second to Fourth Grade, from the sixteenth over (thirteenth in Fifth grade) to the end of the innings, only five of the fielding team are permitted to be outside the fielding restriction marking at the instant the ball is delivered.

6.4.4 at the instant the ball is delivered, there must be at least two of the fielding team (other than the wicket keeper and bowler) in a stationary, close catching position, for the first:

6.4.5 • 10 overs in First Grade (note that this does not apply to the two additional blocks of five overs)

• 15 overs in second to Fourth Grade

• 12 overs in Fifth Grade

6.4.5 The current 12 player rule remains; the oDI substitute rule will not be used.

6.4.6 Where play is delayed or interrupted affecting the innings of the team batting first and the total number of overs available is reduced, the number of overs in regard to field restrictions shall be reduced proportionally (Refer Rule 6.5). But under all circumstances, the fielding restrictions for the team batting second shall be the same as for the team batting first.

6.4.6 In the event of an infringement of Rules 6.4.1, 6.4.3, 6.4.3.1, 6.4.3.2 or 6.4.4, the umpire at the striker’s end shall call and signal ‘no ball’.

6.5 FRACTIonAL PART oF oVeRS6.5.1 If in any calculation arising out of Rules 6.3 and 6.4, the answer involves a fractional

number of overs, then that fraction is to be ignored.

6.6 nUMBeR oF oVeRS PeR BoWLeR6.6.1 no bowler shall bowl more than ten overs in an innings. In a delayed or interrupted

match where the overs are reduced for both teams or for the team bowling second, no bowler may bowl more than one-Fourth of the total overs allowed. This restriction shall not apply to the team fielding second where the provisions of Rule 6.3.1(b) have been applied. Where the total overs is not divisible by five, one additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler necessary to make up the balance.

6.6.2 In the event of a bowler being unable to complete an over because of illness or injury, another bowler shall complete the remaining balls in the over. The


replacement bowler shall not have bowled the previous over and is not eligible to bowl the next over. such part of an over shall count as a full over only in so far as each bowler’s limit is concerned, but the scoreboard shall show the total number of overs bowled.

6.6.3 If a bowler bowls more than the allowed number of overs, all previous events stand, and as soon as the error is discovered the captain must immediately take off the bowler and have another bowler complete the over. The replacement bowler shall not have bowled the previous over and is not eligible to bowl the next over. such part of an over shall count as a full over of the replacement bowler’s limit, but the scoreboard shall show the total number of overs bowled.

6.7 no BALL Law 42.6(a)(ii) shall be replaced by the following:

6.7.1 In First Grade a bowler shall be allowed to bowl one short pitched delivery per over. a fast short pitched delivery is defined as a ball that passes or would have passed above the shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the crease, but not clearly above the batsman’s head. For any subsequent such short-pitched ball either umpire shall call and signal ‘no ball’.

6.7.2 any ball that passes or would have passed over the head of the striker standing upright at the crease shall be called and signalled as a ‘no ball’ and shall count as the one allowable short pitched delivery.

6.7.3 From second to Fifth Grade If the ball passes, or would have passed, over the shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the crease, either umpire shall call and signal ‘no ball’.

The above is not a substitute for Law 42.7 which the umpires are able to apply at any time.

6.7.4 Free Hit After a Foot Fault no Ball

The delivery following a no ball called for a foot fault (Law 24.5) shall be a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or Wide), then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. The ‘free hit’ delivery will count as one of the over, unless it is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or Wide),

For any free hit, the striker can only be dismissed under the circumstances that apply for a no ball even if the delivery for the free hit is called a Wide. Changes to fielding positions are only permitted if a different batsman is on strike for the free hit delivery.

The umpire will indicate the free hit delivery by crossing and re-crossing his wrists above the head.

6.8 WIDe BALL6.8.1 Umpires are instructed to apply very strict and consistent rulings with regard to

Wides in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket. any offside or legside delivery that, in the opinion of the umpire, does not give the striker a reasonable opportunity to score, shall be called a wide, subject to rule 6.8.5 below.

6.8.2 a delivery on the offside in all grades is to be called a wide if it passes the striker’s stumps outside the Wide marking and the striker is deprived of a reasonable opportunity to score as a result.


6.8.3 a delivery on the legside in First and Second Grades is to be called a wide if it passes to the legside of the striker’s stumps and the striker’s body.

6.8.4 a delivery on the legside in Third to Fifth Grades is to be called a wide if it passes outside the striker’s body and continues to pass to the legside of the leg Protected area marking.

6.8.5 a delivery is not to be called a wide under this Part of the Competition Rules if:

(a) Law 25.2 applies (that is, the striker has moved and has caused the ball to pass too wide, or has moved and brought the ball within reach of a normal batting stroke); or

(b) In all Grades, the delivery passes to the legside of the striker’s stumps between the stumps and the striker’s body; or

(c) The striker makes contact with the ball.

6.8.6 Please refer to Appendix A and Appendix B for Protected area and Wide Markings.

6.9 THe ReSULT6.9.1 a result can only be achieved if both teams have batted for at least 15 overs in

competition rounds and semi finals (25 in the final for First to Fourth Grades; 20 in Fifth Grade), unless one team has been all out in less than the minimum overs or unless the team batting second scores enough runs to win in less than the minimum overs. Matches in which one or both teams have not had an opportunity of batting for the minimum number of 15 overs shall be declared drawn matches.

6.9.2 In matches in which both teams have had the opportunity of batting for the agreed number of overs, the team scoring the higher number of runs shall be the winner. If the scores are equal, the result shall be a tie and no account shall be taken of the number of wickets which have fallen.

6.9.3 In First Grade (Konica Cup) the Duckworth Lewis method is to be used.

6.9.4 application of Duckworth Lewis is to be in accordance with ICC instructions (which can be found at www.icc-cricket.com/rules/d-l_method.pdf )

• Professional edition (coda 7.0 ) is to be used.

Where computer support is not available, standard edition 5.1 is to be used. The Resource Table for this is at Appendix C on an over by over basis (identical to that generated by the above parameters).

6.9.5 If the team batting second has not had the opportunity of batting for the same number of overs as the team batting first, and has neither been all out, nor has passed its opponent’s score, the result shall be decided as follows:

6.9.6 • The runs scored by the team batting second shall be compared with the runs scored by the team batting first from the equivalent number of highest scoring overs discounted at a rate of 0.5 per cent per over lost.

• That is, the target score for the side batting second is the discounted total runs of the side which batted first, ignoring fractions, plus one. Appendix D can be used to assist in calculating the target score.

If the side batting first is dismissed in less than the number of overs available to them, anD then rain reduces the second innings, apply an average run rate calculated by dividing the score of the side batting first by the number of overs available to them (not the number in which they were dismissed) (eg rain delays start, so it is a 40 over game. side a is all out for 120 in 30 overs; rain then reduces side B’s innings to 33 overs.

Run rate is 120 divided by 40 = 3 runs per over; target is 33 x 3 +1 = 100)


6.10 eLIGIBILITY FoR SeMI FInALS AnD FInALS6.10.1 a player shall not be eligible to participate in a semi final or final match to decide the

one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup) or the one Innings Limited overs Championship in second to Fifth Grade unless the player has played for that club in four or more rounds (either one Day or Two Day matches) in the Grade Competition in the current season, in that grade, or a lower grade.

Furthermore, for the purposes of this Rule, players who have been unable to participate in any of the competition rounds because of representative duties (either as players or officials) are deemed to have met the eligibility requirements detailed in 5.7.1, while players acting as replacements for representative players in those rounds shall be deemed to have played in the grade from which they were ‘promoted’.

6.10.2 If as much as one ball is bowled, then this constitutes a match for purposes of determining whether a player played in that match or round.

6.10.3 When Clubs have consecutive teams in the semi finals or finals, a player eligible to play in the higher of the two consecutive grades who would normally have been precluded from playing in the lower grade and is not selected in the higher grade, may be selected in the lower grade. Where a player plays in a lower grade in a semi final due to the implementation of this Rule, the player is eligible to play in the final in the lower grade regardless of the status of the team in the higher grade.

6.10.4 If a player is not eligible for any reason to play in the semi final or final matches, the player’s club may apply to the Grade Cricket Committee in writing no later than three days prior to the final series beginning supplying reasons why the player should be given an exemption to play. The Grade Cricket Committee, in its deliberations, will take cognisance of the skills of the player because it is not within the spirit of the game to have players participate below their level of competence. If clubs otherwise have any doubts about the eligibility of a player, they should contact the Competition administrator for advice.

6.10.5 Regional teams playing in the Konica Minolta Cup Competition may choose players for the semi final and final matches who have not played at least 50 per cent of rounds played by the team provided that such players are fully registered in that association and have played the equivalent number of two day and/or one day games in the local competition.

6.11 FoRMAT oF THe SeMI FInALS AnD FInALS6.11.1 semi Final matches in the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup)

shall be played between the winners of each match in the super 8 series of matches. There are four super 8 matches to be played based on the results of the qualifying rounds in the four pools. First in Pool a plays second in Pool B (Game 1), First in Pool B plays second in Pool a (Game 2). First in Pool C plays second in Pool D (Game 3) and First in Pool D plays second in Pool C (Game 4). The semi Finals will consist of the Winner of Game one playing the Winner of Game 4 and the Winner of Game 2 playing the Winner of Game 3.

The leading clubs shall be determined on the basis of accumulated points (including bonus points) in the qualifying rounds of the Competition, subject to the application, if necessary, of the net Run Rate calculation specified in Rule 3.12.

The result of a semi final match will be as per Rule 6.9.


6.11.2 semi final matches to decide the one Innings Limited overs Championship in second to Fifth Grade shall be played in each grade between the four leading Clubs as follows: First v Fourth; second v Third. The four leading clubs shall be determined on the basis of accumulated points in the one innings limited overs rounds of the Grade Competition, subject to the application, if necessary, of the net Run Rate specified in Rule 3.11. The result of a semi final match will be as per Rule 6.9.

6.11.3 a final match shall be played in all cases between the winners of the semi finals. If a semi final match is drawn or abandoned or results in a tie, the club finishing higher in the one innings limited overs rounds of the Grade Competition or in the qualifying rounds of the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup) shall qualify for the final.

6.11.4 The Grade Cricket Committee will if possible, reschedule a final match not having the minimum required overs for each side in accordance with Rule 6.9. In the event that it is not possible to reschedule the match, the team finishing higher in the one innings limited overs rounds of the Grade Competition or in the qualifying rounds of the one Day Competition for First Grade (Konica Minolta Cup) shall be declared the winner.

6.11.5 The result of a final match will be as per Rule 6.9. The team winning the final shall be awarded the championship for that grade. If the final ends in a tie then the teams figuring in that tie shall be declared joint champions for that grade.

6.12 GRoUnD ALLoCATIon FoR SeMI FInALS AnD FInALS6.12.1 In determining the suitability of a venue to host finals the prerequisites shall be those

outlined in 5.9.1.

6.12.2 The First Grade semi finals are to be played on neutral grounds with Manuka oval being one of the designated grounds and the ground that is the next best rated First Grade ground from the captains’ and umpires’ match reports.

6.12.3 In Grades Two to Five, grounds will be allocated on the basis of the team finishing higher will receive a home semi final provided the ground meets the qualification criteria. If the club’s top ground is available then the semi final will be played on that ground. If no home ground is available or suitable then the home club will have the choice of which ground it wishes to use. If that ground is unavailable then they will seek to use a suitable neutral ground. Failing to find a neutral ground, then the semi final will be played on the opposition’s home ground. If a club seeks a neutral ground, it cannot use one that will be required by a club as its home ground even if, that is from a lower grade. all semi final allocations need to be ratified by the Grade Cricket Committee.

6.12.4 The First Grade Men’s Final will be played at Manuka oval.

6.12.5 In Grades Two to Five, grounds will be allocated on a home final basis where the higher placed team (as finishing in the regular season) will host the match provided that the ground meets the qualification criteria. If the home club is incapable of providing a suitable home ground, they can seek a neutral ground. If this is unsuccessful, then the home ground of the opposition will be used. all final allocations need to be ratified by the Grade Cricket Committee.

7.6 RAIn DeLAYS(a) saturday—The latest finish time for day to be planned for in initial calculations is

1930. Discretion by the umpires and Captains may be used in determining an appropriate finish time, for the conditions applying at the time, at the start of the semi final.

(b) as well as applying a later end time, if first and/or second match is delayed/ interrupted on saturday, all matches may be reduced, if a reduction in overs is required. If total overs per match drop below 15, interval is to be reduced to ten mins (to allow teams time to change clothes/gear); and then the break between the second Round 1 match and the semi may also be reduced. Where possible, match timings should be adjusted to ensure that each team faces the same number of overs.

(c) sunday—final needs ten overs at a minimum. If rain causes delays, then a ‘must finish by’ time will be agreed with the Captains by the umpires.

The calculations are exactly as for a normal 50 over match, which is reduced to 20 overs per side. That is, if no interruptions occur each side starts with 56.6 per cent Resources Remaining.

examples

1. Team 1 scores 150. Rain at interval reduces Team 2 to 13 overs. They start with 40.2 per cent Resources Remaining (R2)

R2 < R1 so T = s x R2/R1 + 1

Therefore the Target for Team 2 is (40.2 x 150) / 56.6 +1 = 107 (remember to round DoWn)

2. Team 1 scores 150. Rain after 13 overs halts play, at 5 - 106. Resources Remaining, with 7 overs remaining is 20.1 per cent therefore the resources that were available to team 2 is R2 = 56.6 – 20.1 = 36.5

Target score T is ( 36.5 x 150 ) / 56.6 +1 = 97, so Team 2 win, if no further play occurs.

3. If calculating on the field, once Team 1 have batted, at any point the resources used by Team 2 is 56.6 MInUs the Resources Remaining (RR) for the particular situation, of overs left, wickets down. The calculation is therefore for the 150 first innings score above – (56.6 – RR) x 150/ 56.6 = (56.6 – RR) x 265.02

8.1 FoRMAT8.1.1 The Womens’ Competition shall consist of the Premier League competition, the

Glenda Hall shield competition, and the Lynne o’Meara Premiership competition. Club championship points for participation in the women’s competition are awarded in accordance with Rule 1.4.1(c).

8.1.2 The Premier League competition consists of four teams, not aligned with clubs. The Glenda Hall shield and Lynne o’Meara Premiership competitions are club-based competitions. The Premier League and Glenda Hall shield competitions are to be played on turf pitches.

8.1.3 The number of times that each team will be drawn to play each other in a competition will depend on the number of teams admitted to that competition.


8.1.4 Boundaries for all games in the Women’s Competition must be 55 metres, measured from the middle stump at either end of the pitch, with two semi circles drawn at each end of the pitch. The ends of the semi circles shall be joined to the other by a straight line drawn on the field on the same side of the pitch.

8.1.5 except where varied in the table below, the three competitions of the Women’s Competition shall be played in accordance with Part 6 of these Rules, the one Day Competition.

In the Lynne o’Meara Competition, each Club may name 14 players for each match, but only 11 players will be permitted to bat in an innings and only 11 players will be able to field at any one time. The three designated non-batters are to be nominated at the beginning on the team sheet. substitutions may only be made at the end of an over, and no delay in play is to result. If a team intends to substitute players during a game, they are required to notify the umpires at the beginning of their innings. In the Glenda Hall shield), each Club may name as many players as they wish, but only 11 players will be permitted to bat in an innings and only 11 players will be able to field at any one time.

8.1.6 For matches played in the Women’s Competition, the Grade Cricket Committee may vary the special Conditions of Play in the Women’s Competition as set out in this Part in order to conform, where appropriate, with changes to the playing conditions for the Women’s national Cricket League.

8.1.7 The 40 over competition shall be played in accordance with the following Rules, but for 40 overs per side not 50. The general principles detailed for 50 over matches in Part 6 of these Rules shall apply to 40 over matches, with the over numbers reduced proportionately. over limits for fielding restrictions and overs per bowler etc are summarised in a Table at 8.2.

8.1.8 Bowling restrictions for underage bowlers and breaks between spells apply as per Rule 3.12.

8.1.9 Where one team does not have 11 players at a match before the scheduled start of play, it may request the other team (if the other team has surplus players) to ‘loan’ it players for that game. The other team is not obliged to loan any players, and a player may not be forced to play for the first team for that game if they do not wish to. When a player starts playing for another team in a game under this Rule, they are to be considered as members of that team for that entire game.

8.2 HoURS oF PLAY8.2.1 The hours of play for the competitions in the competitions in the Women’s

Competition are set out in the table below. The interval between innings, by the application of other parts of these Rules, may be taken at a different time to that shown on the schedule below.

8.2.2 In accordance with Rule 6.3.1, the interval shall normally be taken at the completion of the first innings. For example, in a one day match where a catered lunch is to be provided in the interval, and the first innings is completed at least 30 minutes before the scheduled interval, then the umpires may agree that a ten minute break will occur, the team batting second will commence it innings, and then the interval will occur as scheduled. similarly, if the first innings is over well short of 50 overs, eg 25, Captains and umpires MaY together agree on a shorter break.

8.2.3 In a match which is delayed or interrupted, the Umpires shall be empowered to reschedule the interval and reduce its duration, in order to maximise the time available for play.

8.3 LenGTH oF InnInGS8.3.1 The provisions of Competition Rule 6.3 shall apply, except as varied in the table below.

8.3.2 If the team bowling second does not bowl its allotted overs before the expiration of the allotted time, it shall complete its allotted number of overs, and complete one additional over for every over not commenced by the expiration of the allotted time.

8.3.3 Where additional overs are required to be bowled, the provisions of Rule 3.12, maximum number of overs per bowler, may be amended so that a bowler may bowl one more over than the maximum otherwise allowed in the innings.

8.3.4 example 1: Team a bats first and scores 200 in 40 overs. The innings is completed in the allotted time. Team B is 8/180 from 38 overs at the end of its allotted time. Team a must bowl a further two overs to make up its allotted 40 overs, then an additional two overs as a penalty. so Team B has four overs left to score the necessary 21 runs to win.

example 2: Team a bats first and receives 39 overs in the three hours allotted time. In the 40 overs it eventually receives, it scores 175 runs. Team B therefore has 39 overs to score 176 runs to win. However, Team a bowls slowly and, by the end of the allotted three hours, has only bowled 37 overs, at which time Team B has scored 5/163. Team a must bowl two more overs to complete its 39 overs, and then an additional two overs penalty, giving Team B four overs to score the 13 for victory.

8.4 FIeLDInG ReSTRICTIonS8.4.1 The provisions of Competition Rule 6.4 shall apply for the Lynne o’Meara Premiership

competition only (not the Glenda Hall shield), except as varied below, and in the Table in this Part of the Rules.

8.4.2 Two semi circles shall be marked on the field of play, having as their centre the middle stump at either end of the pitch and having a radius of 27.5 metres. The ends of each semi circle are to be joined to the other by a straight line on the same side of the pitch. The requirement to have two players in close-in fielding positions for the first twelve overs, will be relaxed where a team is not able to field 11 players, as follows:


• If the team is only able to field ten players, then only one needs be in a close-in fielding positions

• If the team is only able to field nine players, then there need not be any in a close-in fielding positions

8.5 LenGTH oF oVeR an over cannot go beyond ten balls (legal deliveries, ‘Wides’ and ‘no balls’) bowled

in the Lynne o’Meara Premiership competition. This Rule does not apply to the Premier League and Glenda Hall shield competitions.

8.6 WIDe BALL Rule 6.8 shall not apply (ie, Wide ball shall be in accordance with Law 25).

8.7 ReSULTS In WoMen’S MATCHeS8.7.1 Minimum requirements in the various women’s competitions for results to be

achieved are set out in the table in this Part.

8.7.2 In matches where both teams have had the opportunity of batting for the same number of overs and in matches where the application of slow play penalties under Rule 8.3 is the only reason for a difference in the number of overs each side has had the opportunity to face, the team scoring the higher number of runs is the winner. If the scores are equal, the result is a tie and no account will be taken of the number of wickets lost by either side.

8.7.3 If the number of overs for the team batting second has to be curtailed to fewer than that for the team batting first by circumstances other than slow play penalties (and the difference does not exceed 15 overs to invalidate the match), the result shall be decided as follows:

• The runs scored by the team batting second shall be compared with the runs scored by the team batting first from the equivalent number of highest scoring overs discounted at a rate of 0.5 per cent per over lost.

That is, the target score for the side batting second is the discounted total runs of the side which batted first, ignoring fractions, plus one. Appendix D can be used to assist in calculating the target score.

8.8 eLIGIBILITY FoR FInALS SeRIeS8.8.1 a player shall not be eligible to participate in the final series of a women’s

competition unless the player has played for that Club in three or more of the rounds in a women’s competition.

8.8.2 If a player is not eligible for any reason to play in a finals series, the Club may apply to the Grade Cricket Committee in writing no later than three days prior to the start of the match supplying reasons why the player should be given an exemption to play. The Grade Cricket Committee, in its deliberations, will take cognisance of the skills of the player.

8.9 FoRMAT oF THe FInALS SeRIeS8.9.1 The finals series for each competition are set out in the table in this Part of the Rules.

8.9.2 If a semi final or final match fails to achieve a result in accordance with this Part, the Club finishing higher in the competition at the conclusion of the competition rounds shall be declared the winner.

If the final ends in a tie then the Clubs figuring in that tie shall be joint premiers.


He ALTH PoLIC Y AnD PRoCeDUReS

Meningococcal and DrinksMeningococcal disease has led to a re-evaluation of how we serve and provide drinks in our competition. The meningococcus is a bacterium that can be found at the back of the throat or in the nose in about ten per cent of the community at any given time. although most people who carry this germ in their throat or nose remain quite well, they are able to spread it to others, a few of whom may subsequently become very ill. It is spread in the fine droplets that are shed through coughing, sneezing and spluttering. The technical name for the meningococcus is neisseria meningitidi. In a cricket sense people are most likely to transmit the bacteria through the sharing of drink bottles or cups. symptoms of the illness include headache, and neck stiffness, joint pain, nausea and vomiting, lethargy, high temperature and a rash which is unique to the condition, but often appears later than the other symptoms.

In response to this situation the aCT Cricket association has undertaken the following recommendations to clubs. The preferred option is for all players to have their own water/drink bottles and these to be used at drinks breaks. Drinks should be mixed by the individual player or by their manager.

Home clubs are still expected to supply cordial/sports drink mix, water and refrigeration facilities where available.

Players are to be made aware of the risk of sharing water bottles and potential danger on contact.

If drinks are mixed in a barrel type container there must be a tap attached and working. The lids of barrels must not be removed and no dipping is allowed. It would be advisable to tape the lid down and to put a warning on the barrel lid that lids should not be removed and that no dipping will be allowed.

Drinks must be mixed in barrels in an hygienic manner. Be aware of the stirring implement that it is sterile and meets safety standards.

If drink cups are used, disposable cups are preferable.

If re-useable cups are used, they must be washed with detergent thoroughly, no rinsing only.


FIRST AID KITS

all First Grade grounds are expected to have a comprehensive first aid kit. It is strongly advised that captains of teams where there is no storage at lower grade grounds, should carry a first aid kit.

Kits will vary in size and the type of equipment available. The following is not a comprehensive list but should be available.

Variety of tapes for strapping, strengthening, adhesive

adhesive foam or paddingTape and plain scissorsDisposable latex glovesGauze swabsDressing adhesivesTricore non-stick for wound protectionBetadine swab sticksBand aids and cotton woolsteri-strips or leuko stripsone pair of tweezers (sterilised or disposable)syringe for irrigation of wound or eyeConforming gauze bandagesalcohol swabsTwo chemical cold packsPlastic bag or towel for ice packeye washsterile salineTriangular bandagessafety pinsFinger or thumb splintResuscitation mask used for CPRsunscreenWater bottlesJellybeans or sugar water solution for diabetics

ensure that players with allergies, special needs or pre-existing medical conditions within the club are known to people.

DeHYDRATIon AnD Be ATInG THe He AT

It is essential that clubs understand the need for their players to have adequate fluid replacement to prevent dehydration either in matches or at training.

Dehydration not only contributes to fatigue and poor performance but makes players susceptible to cramps, heat stress and heat stroke. Under a duty of care we must ensure that players are having regular fluid intake especially in that we play in the height of summer.

all participants, players and umpires, should regularly rehydrate. Cool water is the preferred option. The aCTCa encourages the agreement of more regular drinks breaks in hot conditions.

In general, drinks should not be refused to players who are in need of fluid replacement.

Batting in a helmet or fast bowling has great water loss.


InFeCTIoUS DISe A SeS With particular reference to HIV (AIDS) and Viral Hepatitis (B, C, etc)

The following people involved in contact or collision sports be informed of this policy and

adopt its recommendations:

• Team physicians.

• other sports medicine staff.

• Coaches.

• Referees.

• Team managers.

• administrators.

• Players and their parents.

For health care professionals, information on Hepatitis B vaccination accompanies this policy document or may be obtained by contacting the sports Medicine australia—national or state offices—or local GP.

a number of blood-borne infectious diseases can be transmitted during body contact and collision sports. The more serious include Viral Hepatitis and HIV (aIDs) infections.

It is important to remember that more common diseases, such as the ‘common cold’, flu and herpes simplex may be spread during body contact sports.

These may be extremely debilitating and potentially disastrous for the team and/or individual. These diseases may be spread by direct contact between broken skin or mucous membranes and infected blood and other body fluids and substances.

note. There is no current evidence that sweat, urine or tears will transmit these infective viruses, however, in the case of Meningococcal these can be a medium for spreading the bacteria.

THe FoLLoWInG ReCoMMenDATIon S MAY ReDUCe THe RISK oF TRAn SMIT TInG InFeCTIoUS DISe A SeS

all open cuts and abrasions must be reported and treated immediately.

PLAYeRS1. It is every participant’s responsibility to maintain strict personal hygiene at all times, in all

activities on and off the field (this includes safe sex by the use of condoms), as this is an effective method of controlling the spread of disease.

2. It is strongly recommended that all participants involved in contact/collision sports and playing under adult rules be vaccinated against Hepatitis B.

3. all participants with prior evidence of these diseases are strongly advised to obtain confidential advice and clearance from a doctor prior to participation.


TeAM AReAS1. It is the club’s responsibility to ensure that the dressing rooms are clean and tidy.

Particular attention should be paid to hand-basins, toilets and showers. adequate soap, paper hand towels, brooms, refuse disposal bins and disinfectants must be available at all times.

2. Communal bathing areas, (eg spas) should be strongly discouraged. These may be the source of other diseases (eg Legionnaire’s disease) as well as facilitating the spread of the blood borne diseases mentioned above.

3. The practices of spitting and urinating in team areas must not be permitted.

4. all clothing, equipment and surfaces contaminated by blood must be treated as potentially infectious. equipment and surfaces should be cleaned immediately if soiling or spills occur.

When cleaning up blood and body substances:

• Gloves must be worn.

• If the blood spill is large, confine and contain the spill (ie try not to let it run everywhere).

• Remove the bulk of the blood and body substance with absorbent material, eg paper towels;

• Place the paper towels in a sealed plastic bag and dispose with normal garbage.

• Clean the spill site with a detergent solution.

• Wipe the site with disposable towels soaked in a 1:10 solution of bleach to water.

Routine laundry procedures are adequate for the processing of all linen. Routine washing procedures using hot water and detergents are adequate for decontamination of most laundry items. Therefore, clothing with dried blood on it can, if necessary, be soaked in cold water only to release the blood prior to a normal hot detergent wash.

Gloves should be worn when handling or washing soiled linen. General utility gloves, ie rubber household gloves, can be used for this task. The gloves should be washed in detergent after use, or discarded if they are peeled, cracked, discoloured, torn, punctured or have other evidence of deterioration.

Contaminated linen soiled with blood or body substances should be transported in a leak proof plastic bag to the laundry site simply to contain the body fluid and stop it spreading to the other laundry items. Contaminated linen does not need to be segregated in the hot detergent wash.

5. sharing of towels, shaving razors, face washers and drink containers must not occur.

6. It is strongly recommended that all personnel working in contact/collision sport team areas should be vaccinated against Hepatitis B.

7. Water containers should be available for each individual player and not shared by players as bleeding around the mouth is common in contact sports.


MInIMISInG THe RISK oF HIV AnD VIRAL HePATITIS TRAnSMISSIonThe following are principals recommended by sMa and anCaRD to help further reduce the low possibility of HIV or Viral Hepatitis transmission while participating in sports which involve direct body contact or where bleeding may be expected to occur.

1. Those attending to bleeding players should wear non-utility gloves, ie disposable latex or vinyl gloves which must never be reused.

2. These must be worn when: direct contact is anticipated with blood or body substances, mucous membranes, or non-intact skin, as when attending to first aid of a bleeding player or handling items or contact surfaces contaminated with blood or body substances.

Gloves must be changed and discarded:

• as soon as they are torn or punctured.

• after contact with each player.

Hands must be washed after removal and disposal of gloves.

3. Disposable resuscitation devices should be available and accessible. They should be used for anyone requiring mouth-to-mouth cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). any CPR training provided should include instruction in the use of resuscitation devices to prevent direct mouth-to-mouth contact between the injured person and the resuscitator.

4. If a player has a skin lesion he must be immediately reported to the responsible official and medical attention sought.

5. If a skin lesion is observed it must be immediately cleansed with suitable antiseptic and securely covered.

6. If a bleeding wound occurs the individual’s participation must be interrupted until the bleeding has been stopped and the wound is both rinsed with plenty of water and if dirty, washed with soap and covered with a waterproof dressing.

7. separate first aid room should be available for the treatment and suturing of wounds.

ACTIon To Be TAKen In THe eVenT oF A BLooD SPILL

In an accident where bleeding occurs and if:

1. skin is penetrated or broken, the immediate first aid is to clean the wound with soap and water only. If water is not available a 70 per cent alcohol hand rub should be used.

2. Clothes are bloodstained, they should be changed for clean ones once the wound has been treated. They should be handled with rubber gloves and treated as above.

3. Blood gets on the skin, irrespective of whether they are cuts or abrasions wash well with soap and water.

4. eyes are contaminated, rinse the area gently but thoroughly, with the eyes open, with water or normal saline.


5. a player is wearing contact lenses:

• Leave the contact lenses in while the eye is irrigated with water or normal saline, the contact lenses are acting as a barrier to the eye.

• When the eye has been adequately irrigated for several minutes, remove the contact lenses and clean in the normal manner.

• They can then be reused. They do not have to be cleaned any differently than normal and they do not need to be discarded.

6. Blood gets in the mouth, spit it out and rinse the mouth with water several times.

Where there is an additional concern about infection, medical advice should be sought from a physician or clinic where there is experience in the management of HIV infection.

ReFeReeS AnD GAMe oFFICIALS1. officials must report all open cuts and abrasions at the first available opportunity.

2. It is strongly recommended that those who officiate in body contact and collision sports should be vaccinated against Hepatitis B.

3. all contaminated clothing and equipment must be replaced prior to the player being allowed to resume play.

4. If bleeding should recur, the above procedures must be repeated.

5. If bleeding cannot be controlled and the wound securely covered, the player must not continue in the game.

eDUCATIonThere is an obligation upon all relevant sporting organisations to provide suitable information on the associated risk factors and prevention strategies against these diseases. additional information may be obtained by team doctors or from state/Territory Health Departments. The safe handling of contaminated clothing, equipment and surfaces must be brought to the attention of all players and ancillary staff.

although Hepatitis B vaccination is usually effective in raising immunity to Hepatitis B, it provides no protection against other blood-borne diseases, such as HIV, Hepatitis C etc. Vaccination must not result in any relaxation of hygiene standards.

CoMPLIAnCeThe outlines of this health policy will be part of the clubs’ assessment criteria and therefore clubs will need to put practices into place. The first aid kits will be mandatory. The use of individual water bottles should be mandatory or a hygiene policy put in place by the club for the use of disposable cups etc.

note. Cricket australia is developing a policy on the sharing of equipment and we will incorporate these into our policy once they are established or the junior policy recommendations flow through. Generally, it is best not to share equipment of a protective nature.
