Finals player eligibility conditions <p></p><div style="text-align: left;"><b>EXISTING REGULATIONS<br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Reg 35.15-35.22 Saturday (and Sunday 50 and Super 20)<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Last reviewed 2019</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?</b></div><div style="text-align: left;">Player eligibility for finals always seem to cause problems.</div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>COMMENTS</b> <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">They shouldn't. Players need to have 4 games recorded through the Saturday season (or 3 through the Sunday 50 and Super 20 competitions) to be eligible to play in a final. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This should be quite easy to organise since the data is all available on MyCricket. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">The finals eligibility rules are necessary for competition integrity. If a team plays well enough through the season to make the final it is reasonable to expect that some mostly that team is the one that appears in the finals. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">If you were to face a team in your final which includes a bunch of higher grade players from some other team/club/competition then the final is not fair or sporting. This rule prevents that occurring.<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There is a clause which permits approval for players with 3 games on application/approval. This leads to the oddly specific rule flat out denying eligibility for 2 game players. (See Reg 35.17) <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Yet every March there seems to be at least a few teams which have a players crisis which leads to special pleading and hard decisions (and wailing and gnashing of teeth and various other hellish scenarios... )<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Are the rules we have clear
enough? Is this
disregard due to dumbness, laziness or carelessness? Or is there a plain communication issue?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Maybe more publicity for/emphasis on this section of the rules is needed. (Or a simplified rewrite?)<strike><b><br /></b></strike></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> </b></div>

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>TWO TEAMS FROM THE SAME CLUB IN THE SAME GRADE</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b> <br /></b></div><div style="text-align: left;">This last season (2020/21) we had a new problem. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Souths Juniors were able to field a late second team which was admitted to the C2 competition in October. This was very welcome both by the C2 competition (and the Association) since it eliminated a bye each week for the remainder of the season. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">For various reasons which seemed convenient at the time it was decided to add the new team to C2...... which was THE SAME grade that already featured another Souths Juniors team. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The Management Committee did not anticipate that when one Souths Juniors team made the finals and the other didn't that there would be call for players from the not qualified team to be added to the qualified team for their final. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The ethics of doing this are muddy at best. In normal circumstances players might be allowed to do this subject to grading rules The decision to approve it or disallow it is usually dealt with by grading rules. Two teams from one club would normally be an A and a B grade. Players from A would need clearance to go down to the B game. B graders can go up to A without restriction but after 3 games they are regarded as 'A'. (See Reg 4.4) <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Reg 35.15 needs rewording to prevent same grade but different team qualifications -
citing the case of Souths Juniors A + B in C2 grade in 2020/21. </div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">In the special case where a club has two teams in the same grade
players from one team are not eligible for finals played by the
other team (unless they have 4 matches with other team somehow.)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">Note: a hot tip from an insider.... here's what the Premier Cricket Regulations says on this topic.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">"From </span></span><span class="fontstyle0">22.

Player replacement for injury, rep duties or premier cricket duty... Reg 23.2<p><b>EXISTING REGULATION</b></p><p>Reg 23.2</p><p>Last reviewed 2020, after initial introduction in 2019.<br /></p><div style="text-align: left;"><b>WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?</b> <br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">A club president expressed some discontent because injury player
replacement involves a 3 week suspension yet other player replacement
conditions do not.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>COMMENTS</b><br /></div><p>The player suspension is a fundamental part of the injury Replacement idea.</p><p>Reg 23.2.27 is very specific about the suspension applying ONLY to illness/injury replacements.<br /></p><p>For many years Subbies struggled with the angst of teams playing with a player short due to unforeseen illness or injury of team members between weekends. From a practical, "enjoyment of weekend recreation" point of view this was always incomprehensible. Modern life is more demanding than this and in the 2020's team restrictions like this are unsustainable.<br /></p><p>Problems were:</p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Verifying the nature of the illness or injury (has he **really** done his knee or is this a 'visiting Grandma' situation?) </li><li>How do we control willy nilly player replacements (i.e half the team changes each and every week.) </li><li>Add to that possibly erroneous idea that once named a cricket team cannot allow replacements. (Go read Law 1.2, guys...)<br /></li></ul><p>Two seasons back the injury replacement rule was introduced. </p><p>The deal is:</p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>if a player is injured/ill/unavailable then "fine, you can swap as long as you make an application and get a written approval from ManCom, no contest, no questions asked, you do not need a medical certificate or a note from your Mum" </li><li>but that guy misses out for 3 Saturdays (week 2 of the current game and then the next two dayer or next 2 x 1 dayers)</li></ul><p>Two much older rules allowing replacements for Rep players and Premier cricket duty were rearranged and incorporated into Regulation 23. These rules are hardly ever used. (Maybe twice in a decade...) </p><p>There is no enforced suspension for players who are replaced using Rep or Premier Cricket regulations. Reg 23.2.26-23.2.28 are clear enough to anyone who can read 'em. <br /></p><p>On reflection that incorporation may have been a bit confusing. But I'm not gonna change it back. <br /></p><p>As a review note I think the Illness/Injury Replacement rule is working well. Stats are showing 30 odd replacements in 300 odd 2 day games in each of the last two seasons.</p><p>It's got good acceptance and it's being used. I'm pleased with it's success.<b> </b><i><b> </b></i></p><p><b> </b></p><p><b>PROPOSED CHANGES</b></p><p>Nil<i> </i>

But also some awareness amongst team captains would create some 'demand' for a constructive approach.<br /></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Doubtful bowling actions is a very controversial topic. Historically it has been raging hot since at least the 1820's when 'Round-arm' bowling began to challenge the hegemony of underarm bowling. (There are some really nutty things in the history of bowling laws. Start reading <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roundarm_bowling" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. There are books on it...)</span></p><p align="left" class="western" style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /><span>

This would mean we might be 'on our own' when it comes to any procedures.

9 has some inappropriate intentions for our amateur, community
cricket. e.g. Mowing, line remarking and even pitch rolling are luxuries that Law 9 seems to assume are all on hand and freely available.</p><p>Ahem... <br /></p><p>As was pointed out by another committee member, this issue only arises during finals and never during round matches even though it applies to BOTH kinds of games.</p><p>That probably indicates either a lack of understanding of Law 9 or that some other hidden agenda is being revealed. (Sharp practice to gain advantage in a final, anyone? Nah, course not...)</p><p></p><p>This change would involve rewriting Law 9 in line with QSDCA expectations. (What about
mowing, watering, sweeping, line remarking, waiter service and comfy
chairs?)</p><p>So if we do this for rolling are we doing it for mowing, sweeping, watering, line marking? That's a can of worms.<br /></p><p>Another reason that we are unable to write an new version of the rolling
laws is that we cannot guarantee that all grounds have access to
rollers and equipment on an equal basis. <br /></p><p>This is probably impractical and can be dealt with by following Law 9 as best as we can. Advise teams and captains to ascertain the availability of rollers and pitch maintenance equipment BEFORE the match. Umpires are already advised about this. <br /></p><div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<hr /><b>Suggestion re Regulations Changes</b><br /><br />Fri, 26 Mar, 09:38<br />from (A committee member and Umpire) <br /><br />In our last semi-final, one of the teams asked if they could have the roller used for 7 minutes between innings - which is allowed under open cricket rules.<br /><br />Unfortunately - a grounds-person was not available - so this could not be done.<br /><br />Then - the overnight batting side asked that the wicket NOT be rolled overnight.<br /><br />After the Host Club Captain made enquiries - he was advised that the wicket could be rolled for the 7 minutes overnight (which was duly done) despite the wishes of the captain of the overnight batting team.<br /><br />The reasons given were that we were sub-districts & we couldn`t expect to have grounds-people available during the match for between the innings.<br /><br />I co-umpired with Murray White (from QCUSA)<br /><br />He and I could NOT find anything in our Regulations to indicate just overnight rolling.<br /><br />I would therefore like to include within our Regulations the following;<br /><br /><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><b>Rolling of Wickets During Games<br /><br />Normal Rolling of Wickets Cricket Rules be deleted - and - replaced with the following<br /><br />During a Match of more than 1 consecutive day, rolling of the wickets be restricted to only 7 minutes overnight between the different consecutive days - and - only by agreement with the Captain of the overnight batting team.<br /><br />In all other QSDCA matches - no rolling of the wickets be allowed between innings - except for the normal week to week preparation of wickets for 2 day matches held on consecutive Saturdays. </b><br /></div><br />or - words to that effect<br /><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<hr /><p style="text-align: left;">Fri, 26 Mar, 11:02<br /> <br />...I'll add this to the list of things.for the review.<br /><br />This request outlines a real problem and has a suggested solution (whether it's right or not is obviously a question for debate).<br /><br />Law 9.1 Rolling is often controversial for us but **only** in finals. Part of the problem with Law 9.1 is it is written as if rolling services are always available. In Subbies they often are not available (for lots of reasons). Subbies team expectations are not like a first class game. All the Law 9 topics (rolling, mowing, sweeping, line remarking, foothold maintenance, watering) are in this category.<br /><br />BTW (I and another umpire had a) final which was kinda similar. Batting captain for innings 2 requested a roll late on Sat arvo and was denied because (?? unclear reasons: probably too lazy, not ready, no petrol, no one capable to do it, not real sure....)<br /><br />Batting side made 1/1 in 3.1 overs<br /><br />A next morning roll was mooted. (I cannot confirm what happened since I was absent for day 2 but Bruce said the problem got solved...)<br /><br />Batting side made 10/36 in about 3 hours.<br /><br />So rolling didn't make that much difference in this game.... A large part of the all out 36 in 3.5 hours might have been the long grass acting as an extra "fielding team".<br /><br />I think the mowing (see Law 9.2) is a much harder problem. Apart from the time, machines, petrol and effort required to do it there are other factors like footy clubs, rain and tanks which dictate how, when and whether it's done.</p><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><p><b>PROPOSED CHANGES</b></p><p>Nil<i> </i>

Super 20 Innings Finish Time or Compulsory Closure Time Reg 25.1<p><b>EXISTING REGULATIONS</b><br /><br />Super 20 Reg 25 <br /><br /><br /><b>WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?</b><br /><br />Super 20 Reg 25 - the compulsory closure is called "Innings finish time".<br /><br />But in Sun50 and Sat35 it's called "Compulsory Closure Time". <br /><br /> <br /><br /><b>COMMENT </b><br /><br />This seems to be a correction to a piece of sloppy nomenclature. To avoid confusion Super 20 Reg 25 should be changed to use a uniform term.. Right?</p><p>No, no, no, no, no.....<br /></p><p></p><p>The reason it's not a uniform term is to distinguish the difference between overtime penalties.</p><p></p><p>In Sat 35 and Sun 50 the penalty for your team failing to bowl overs in the correct time is merely cut it off at the 'compulsory closure time' and you get the same overs as you bowled.</p><p>In Super 20 there is a run penalty for failure to bowl overs in the allocated time. See Regulation 25.5 for the gory details. (6 runs per uncompleted over plus you have to bowl 'em... ding on!)</p><p>Importantly this applies to BOTH the first fielding team and the second fielding team in equal fashion.<br /></p>

It was formalised 2 seasons back.</p><p>When I mention it to captains before the start of the game I usually get two kinds of response:</p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><i>Huh, what's that?<br /></i></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">or </p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;"><i>confusion about who is which player.... for the rest of the day, sometimes.<br /></i></p><p>The procedure remains confused and confusing and the super sub gets used somehow but no one seems relaxed about it.<b><br /></b></p><p>Under the existing regulation the steps to this are name 12 players before the toss, nominate a replaceable replacement and a replacement to replace him (or vice versa) straight after the toss. Captain can make the swap at ANY point in the game. Which is which is decided <i><b>after </b></i>the toss.<br /></p><p>This can be made simpler by nominating a bowling player for the bowling innings and a batting player for the batting innings which applies regardless of
toss order. Swap occurs automatically at the innings break. The order of the swap is determined by the toss of the coin i.e. the order of the teams' turn to bat.</p><p>This is much easier to understand for everyone.<br /></p><p>This regulation will continue to allow immediate replacement for cases of game ending
injury (with a required umpire approval/notification similar to the seeking of approval for a batter's retirement). </p><p>This means the player swap can be made immediately in case game ending
injury. Injury to any of the other 10 players not in the swap pair will
be handled same as normal (by use of a 12th man non-batting, non-bowling substitute fielder.) This injury swap will only occur in the rare
circumstance that a swapping player is injured.</p><p></p>

<hr /><p>Wed, 28 Apr, 14:33<br /><br />from (a Vice President of a QSDCA club)<br /> <br />25.3 If the team batting first is dismissed in less than 35 overs, the team batting second will be entitled to bat for 35 overs.<br /><br /><br />Hi, I came across an issue with regulation 25.3 last season that I don't think is right.<br /><br />Batting first, we were 8 or 9 wickets down trying to cash in as many runs as possible at the end of a one-day match. We were on a little bit of a roll with a few boundaries flowing.<br /><br />The bowling team were behind in their over rate, so the umpire correctly called time and let everyone know there was "one over to come" in about the 32nd.<br /><br />This presented us two batsmen with a predicament; do we try to put on more runs in our last over (the 33rd), or do we protect our wickets so that the opposition don't get to apply reg 25.3 and face a full 35 overs (an additional 2 overs)?<br /><br />What I'm suggesting is that rule 25.3 shouldn't apply if team batting first is all out AFTER the umpire has called 'last over'. The batting team should be allowed to play their final over with as much risk as they want to put a score on.<br /><br />Whilst in our situation it was only two extra overs, what if the over rate was abysmal and there were 5 or 6 overs left?<br /><br />
</p><div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<hr /><p> Thu, 29 Apr, 11:30<br /> <br />From ABM <br /><br />Thanks for sending this in.<br /><br />This is actually not a bad idea/thought.<br /><br />Such a change could be achieved by adding a clause such as:<br /><br />"25.4 If the team batting first is dismissed after compulsory closure time the team batting second will receive the same number of overs as the team batting first.<br />25.4.1 (an example)"<br /><br />Some renumbering might also be a good idea too.<br />i.e.<br /></p><p style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">25.3 1st team all out <35 overs, 2nd team gets 35 overs,<br />25.3.1 example<br />25.4 1st team all out <35 overs but after CCT, 2nd team gets same overs,<br />25.4.1 example<br />25.5 1st team not all out at CCT, 2nd team gets same overs, ] __(moved from previous 25.4, 25.4.1)<br />25.5.1 example ]<br /></p><p>There might be an objection based on this idea introducing more complexity to an already extensive set of one day rules but that's really another issue. IMHO we really need an **effective** "hurry up and get your overs in" sanction for teams bowling first. (Also another issue entirely...😊 )<br /><br />Also we should as always think about how this might play out in any game with (non-official) player umpires.</p><p>

There are many rules for the player umpires to cope with.

FORFEITS</b><br />Applies to All Competitions<br /><br />Preamble: Sometimes a match cannot start on time due to incomplete teams. In such circumstances Umpires and Captains are encouraged to delay the start of play in the hope that any team short of players might have some players arrive late so that the match can continue. It is important that teams making a claim for a forfeit make no statement or action that might be taken to mean they refuse to play because they have ‘won by forfeit’.<br /><br />FORFEIT CONDITIONS<br />11.1 Each team must have a minimum number of seven (7) registered playing members present at start of play on the first day.<br />11.2 If the number of players is reduced below seven for any reason after the start of play on the first day, the match will continue.<br /><br />FORFEIT CAUTION<br />11.3 Players, captains and umpires are expected to make efforts to allow the match to proceed if at all possible.<br />11.4 There is no cut-off time for ‘claiming’ a forfeit.<br />11.5 All claims for forfeit will only be confirmed if and when the circumstances and outcome of the match have been considered by the Management Committee.<br /><br />POINTS FOR FORFEITED MATCHES<br />11.6 Teams receiving forfeits may be allocated the maximum number of points scored by any other team in that grade for the match.<br />11.7 Maximum points means match points plus bonus incentive points.<br /><br />PROVISIONS FOR TEAM WITHDRAWALS<br />11.8 In the event of a team withdrawing from the competition after the commencement of the first match of the season, each opposing team will be allocated a number of points as determined from time to time by the Management Committee, or at the end of each match, in the particular grade.<br />11.9 If a team withdraws from the competition after the commencement of the first match of the season, the team withdrawing will be deemed to be lowest graded team from that club.<br />11.9.1 For example if there are two teams in different grades from the same club and the higher graded team withdraws, then the lower grade team will be promoted.<br /><br /><br /><b>12 PLAYER ABSENCES</b><br />Applies to All Competitions<br /><br />Preamble: Because QSDCA provides a competition for amateur players, the association will not strictly enforce the Penalty Time Laws.

It is not regarded as sporting or desirable that teams bowl overs slowly. Indeed high over-rates have repeatedly shown to promote exciting and enjoyable cricket.<br /><br />21.1 On each day the initial minimum number of overs will be seventy five (75).<br />21.2 Play will not cease on any day unless the minimum number of overs has been bowled (as calculated in Playing Regulation 21.4 below and subject to playing time lost due to weather, injuries or other reasons).<br />21.3 If playing time is lost due to weather, injuries, or other reasons the initial number of overs will be reduced at the rate of one over for every four (4) minutes of time lost.<br />21.4 When an innings ends and a new innings is to commence before the scheduled finishing time, the minimum number of overs remaining to be bowled will be calculated two ways.<br />21.4.1 Method 1 is 75 overs less overs already bowled (part overs count as 1 over) less 3 overs for innings change.<br />21.4.2 For example: a team batting first is all out in 25.1 overs. Minimum overs to play method 1 is 75 – 26 – 3 = 46 overs minimum to play.<br />21.4.3 Method 2 is the number of minutes remaining to the scheduled finishing time less tea break and innings break divided by four (4).<br />21.4.4 For example: a team batting first is all out at 2.25pm. Minimum overs to play method 2 is (6pm – 2.25pm less 10 minute innings break less 15 minute tea break) = 190 minutes. 190 / 4 = 47.5 –> 48 overs minimum to play.<br />21.4.5 The method that gives the higher number of overs will be used.<br />21.5 The Umpire(s) will be responsible for determining the minimum number of overs to be bowled, and will advise both Captains and scorers of the number of overs required to be bowled.<br />21.6 If no official umpire is present, the Captains must agree before the next innings commences.<br />21.7 An over not completed at the end of play on the first day, and subsequently completed on the second day will be counted as a complete over on both days for the purpose of calculating minimum overs.<br />21.8 In two day match only, a fraction of an over is to be considered as a complete over in all calculations pertaining to minimum numbers of overs.<br />21.9 If minimum overs have not been completed at scheduled finishing time, then play will continue until the minimum number of overs have been completed.<br />21.10 When play continues after the scheduled finishing time, no reduction of minimum number of overs will be allowed for drink intervals or player injuries.<br />21.11 When play continues after the scheduled finishing time, the Umpire(s) will determine the minimum number of overs remaining to be bowled.<br />21.12 When play continues after the scheduled finishing time, the Umpire(s) will inform the fielding captain and the batsmen of the minimum number of overs remaining. This number will not be subject to reduction.<br />21.13 If minimum overs are completed before the scheduled finishing time then play will continue until the scheduled finishing time.<br /><br />END OF PLAY ON DAY ONE<br />21.14 On day one of a match when minimum overs are complete, if a wicket falls within two minutes of normal finishing time the day’s play will end.<br />21.15 On day one of a match when play continues after the normal finishing time, if a wicket falls during the last minimum over the day’s play will end.<br />21.16 On day one of a match if play is under suspension for any reason such as unfit ground, weather or light at the normal finishing time then the day’s play will end.<br />21.17 On day one of a match when play continues after the normal finishing time, if an innings ends after normal finishing time then the day’s play will end.<br /><br />THE BALL<br />21.18 In the second innings of a two day match the fielding team may choose to use a new ball or a previously used ball.<br />21.18.1 Any previously used ball must be playable in the opinion of the umpire(s).<br />21.19 The fielding team may choose to take a new ball after the completion of no less than 75 overs in any innings.<br />21.20 The fielding team will retain possession of the ball at the end of the first day’s play.<br />21.21 If the ball is lost or damaged during the week it will be replaced by a ball with similar wear in the opinion of the umpire.<br /><br />PLAY ABANDONED ON FIRST DAY<br />21.22 If the first day of a two day match in the regular competition rounds (not finals) is abandoned without any play for any reason then the second day will be played as a one day match according to Playing Regulation 20-39 for Saturday One Day 35 Over Matches.<br />21.23 If the first day’s play is abandoned without any play then any toss for innings is also abandoned.<br /><br /><br /><b>22 INTERVALS</b><br />For Saturday Two Day Matches<br /><br />22.1 For matches starting at 12.30pm a tea interval of 15 minutes will be taken at 2.55pm<br />22.2 For matches starting at 1pm a tea interval of 15 minutes will be taken at 3.25pm<br />22.3 If an innings ends or there is a suspension of play within thirty (30) minutes of the tea interval then tea interval will be taken immediately.<br />22.4 The immediately taken tea interval will include the ten (10) minute break between innings.<br />22.5 If an innings is nine (9) wickets down at the time for the tea interval then play will continue for a maximum of thirty (30) minutes or until the last wicket falls.<br />22.6 Note that retirements do not count in the nine (9) wickets down.<br /><br /><b><br />23 REPLACEMENT PLAYERS</b><br />For Saturday Two Day Matches<br /><br />Preamble to 23.11 Note that

/>23.1.3 The Day One Replaced players can bat or bowl only on day one of the match.<br />23.1.4 The Day Two Replacement players can bat or bowl only on day two of the match.<br />23.1.5 If the Day One Replaced player is out then the Day Two Replacement player is out in any continuing innings.<br />23.1.6 If the Day One Replaced player has bowled or is bowling in a continuing innings then the Day Two Replacement player can continue bowling.<br />23.1.7 A Day Two Replacement player may continue batting or bowling in any unfinished innings or keep wickets and field as if named in the initial 11 players.<br />23.1.8 The Day Two Replacement player(s) must be from the same or a lower grade team.<br />23.1.9 The Day Two Replacement player(s) must not be from a higher grade team unless written approval is given by the Management Committee.<br />23.1.10 The Day Two Replacement player(s) will not participate in two matches in the same round.<br />23.1.11 No more than 11 players may play on each day of a two day match.<br />23.1.12 This rule may be exercised in SEMI FINAL AND GRAND FINAL MATCHES, or matches against non-Sub District teams.<br />23.1.13 There will be no changes to Day One Replaced players or Day Two Replacement players following the toss.<br />23.1.14 Substitute Fielders (such as a 12th man who may not bat or bowl) will not be entered on the team list.<br /><b><br

Example: <br />* After 15 overs and 60 minutes of play in the first innings, 161 minutes time is lost. <br />* The interval is reduced to 10 minutes. <br />* Playing time lost reduces to 141 minutes.<br />* When play restarts, total remaining playing time is 189 minutes.<br />* The first innings will be 17 more overs and second innings will be 32 overs.<br />* First innings will restart at 1.41pm, interval will start at 2.49pm.<br />* Stumps will be 5.07pm or the end of the second innings.<br /><br />NEW FIRST INNINGS COMPULSORY CLOSURE TIME<br />26.15 When playing time is lost in the first innings a New First Innings Compulsory Closure Time will be calculated by multiplying remaining first innings overs by four minutes and adding to the restart time.<br />26.16 The first innings will close at the end of the over in progress at the Revised Compulsory closure Time in the same manner as Playing Regulations 25 to 25.3.<br />26.17 All relative delays, interruptions in play, and the duration of the interval will be taken into account.<br />26.18 If there is more than one interruption to the innings of the side batting first, calculations will be based on the original scheduled close of play, rather than any rescheduled close resulting from the previous interruption.<br /><br />THE TEAM BATTING SECOND<br />26.19 If play is suspended and time is lost after the end of the first innings the number of overs remaining in the match will be the remaining amount of available playing time in minutes divided by four.<br />26.20 In the second innings calculations resulting in a fraction of an over will rounded down.<br /><br />26.21 Example: <br />* After 10 overs and 40 minutes of play in the second innings, 72 minutes playing time is lost. <br />* When play restarts, total remaining playing time is 83 minutes.<br />* The second innings will be 22 more overs to play.<br />* Play will restart at 3.37pm and stumps will be 5.05pm.<br /><br />NEW END TIME OF INNINGS (SECOND INNINGS)<br />26.22 When playing time is lost in the second innings a New End Time of Innings Time will be calculated by multiplying remaining second innings overs by four minutes and adding to the restart time.<br />26.23 For any match not completed by scheduled close of play, play may continue subject to conditions of weather, round and light until required overs have been bowled or the innings is complete.<br />26.24 If the innings of the team batting first has been completed prior to the scheduled, or Rescheduled Compulsory Closure Time, then any calculation relating to the revision of overs will not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to that by which the second innings started early has elapsed.<br />26.25 The team batting second will not bat for a greater number of overs than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its allocated overs.<br />26.26 The timing and duration of all relative delays and interruptions in play with

no ball or a wide ball), then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batter is facing it.<br />29.3.3 For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball.<br />29.3.4 Neither field changes nor the exchange of individuals between fielding positions are permitted for free hit deliveries unless:<br />* There is a change of striker or<br />* The No Ball was the result of a fielding restriction breach, in which case the field may be changed to the extent of correcting the

win the match.<br />33.3 If both innings of a match are completed and the number of runs scored by each team is the same even if the number of wickets is different then the result of the match is a tie.<br />33.4 In a match where the team batting second has not had the opportunity to bat for the target number of overs and has not been dismissed and has not passed its opponent’s score, the result will be decided on the average run rate throughout each innings.<br />33.5 For example:<br />* Team A – scores 250 runs batting first (50 overs).<br />* Average Run Rate is 250/50 = 5.00<br />* Team B – batting second scores 130 runs in 25 overs (bad light stops play).<br />* Average Run Rate is 130/25 = 5.10<br />* Team B wins the match.<br />33.6 For example:<br />* Team A – scores 180 runs all

(If on resumption the number of overs for fielding restrictions has already been exceeded this should take effect immediately).<br /><br />TEAM BATTING SECOND<br />29.4.7 Where the number of overs for the team batting second is reduced the aim will be to maintain the restrictions in Playing Regulation 29.4 for the same proportion of the second innings that they were maintained for the first innings (fractions to be ignored).<br />29.4.8 In the event of infringement of any of the above fielding restrictions, either umpire will call and signal ‘No Ball’.<br /><br />29.5 PENALTY<br />For Super 20 Matches<br /><br />29.5.1 Law 21.15 (2017 Code) will apply.

MATCH</b><br />For Super 20 Matches<br /><br />33.1 Unless either team is dismissed in less than 10 overs, to make a completed match each team must receive a minimum of 10 overs.<br />33.2 If the required number of overs to be bowled to each team is completed and either or both teams have not been fully dismissed, the team having scored the greater number of runs will win the match.<br />33.3 If both innings of a match are completed and the number of runs scored by each team is the same even if the number of wickets is different then the result of the match is a tie.<br />33.4 In a match where the team batting second has not had the opportunity to bat for the target number of overs and has not been dismissed and has not passed its opponent’s score, the result will be decided on the average run rate throughout each innings.<br />33.5 For example:<br />* Team A – scores 135 batting first (20 overs).<br />* Average Run rate is 135/20 = 6.75<br />* Team B – has only 15 overs available as a result of an interruption to play.<br />* Target score is 6.75 x 15 = 101.25. 101.25 runs rounded up = 102.<br />* Team B requires 102 runs to win from 15 overs.<br />33.6 For example:<br />* Team A – scores 120 batting first (20 overs)<br />* Average Run Rate is 120/20 = 6.00<br />* Team B – batting second scores 89 not all out in 6.3 overs (rain stops play).<br />* Average Run Rate is 89/(6+3/6) =.13.69<br />* Match is a draw because minimum overs not achieved.<br />* To win Team B must face at least 10 overs and score more than 6.00 runs per over, or score more than other team’s score.<br />* Note: When innings ends with a fraction of an over, the correct fraction will be used to calculate average run rate.<br /><br /><br /><b>34 POINTS</b><br />For Super 20

COMMUNITY CRICKET CONCUSSION & HEAD TRAUMA GUIDELINES</b><br /><br />Version 1.0 Date last reviewed: 01 August 2017 Review frequency: Annual<br /><br />1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<br />1.1 Community Cricket representatives and participants should take a conservative approach to managing concussion.<br />1.2 Participants in Community Cricket should wear appropriate and well fitted protective gear including helmets.<br />1.3 Any player or official that has a suspected concussion should:<br />1.3.1 be immediately removed from the training and playing environment;<br />1.3.2 not return on the same day without medical clearance; and<br />1.3.3 be assessed by a qualified medical officer.<br />1.4 Any player or official with a confirmed concussion should:<br />1.4.1 not return to play or train on the same day; and<br />1.4.2 only return to play or train once cleared by a qualified medical officer.<br /><br />2. INTRODUCTION<br />2.1 Australian Cricket considers it critical to pursue best practice in prevention and management of concussion and head trauma arising in the course of participating in organised cricket competitions and training sessions, including Community Cricket.<br />2.2 Cricket Australia (CA) endorses the 2016 Berlin Expert Consensus Statement on the management of Concussion (Berlin Guidelines) and aims for these Guidelines to be consistent with the Berlin Guidelines noting that the rules of cricket do not allow for the complete implementation of the Berlin Guidelines, mainly due to the inability to fully substitute players in First Class and International matches.<br /><br />3. SCOPE<br />3.1 This Guideline applies to: (i) all male and female players and (ii) all umpires (collectively referred to as Participants):<br />3.1.1 participating in any organised community (that is, non-elite) cricket competitions and matches or training for such competitions or matches (collectively, Community Cricket); and<br />3.1.2 who receive a blow to the head or neck (either bare or while wearing protective equipment), whether by ball or otherwise.<br />3.2 Australian Cricket recommends Affiliated Clubs and Associations enforce these Guidelines for Participants taking part in Community Cricket training, matches and competitions.<br /><br />4. RELATED DOCUMENTS<br />4.1 Club Assist Well Played Resource Guide<br />(www.community.cricket.com.au/clubs/running-your-club/well-played)<br /><br />5. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS<br />5.1 Australian Cricket recommends that all players wear properly fitted BS7928:2013 compliant helmets when batting, fielding within seven meters of the bat (except for off-side slips and gully fielders) and when wicket-keeping up to the stumps (regardless of age).<br />5.2 Australian Cricket recommends that umpires wear properly fitted BS7928:2013 compliant helmets.<br />5.3 The use of products /attachments properly fitted to helmets that provide additional protection for the vulnerable neck/occipital area of the batsman (Neck Guards) is also recommended.<br />5.4 Australian Cricket recommends that helmets should be replaced immediately following a significant impact (a blow to the helmet) in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.<br /><br />6. HEAD AND NECK TRAUMA MANAGEMENT<br />6.1 If a Participant receives a blow to the head or neck (whether wearing protective equipment or not), follow the Guidelines below. If there is doctor or other medically trained person available, they should attend to the participant and use the process outlined below and in the Concussion Assessment Flowchart. If there is no doctor or medical trained person available, either a player, coach or administrator from the same team or match official should manage this process:<br />(a) Ask the Participant how they are feeling as soon as possible after the incident – preferably before play resumes;<br />(b) Assume that the Participant has sustained a concussion if the Participant reports any of the following symptoms;<br />a. dizziness;<br />b. headache;<br />c. nausea;<br />d. feeling vague; and / or<br />e. amnesia (ask the Participant a series of questions such as the name of the two teams playing the game, the day of the week, the month of the year and the current Australian Prime Minister).<br /><br />If the Participant is suffering any of these symptoms, the Participant should seek further medical care at a local medical centre, hospital or general practitioner / medical doctor before resuming playing, training or umpiring.<br /><br />(c) If the Participant has any of the following signs and symptoms;<br />a. loss of consciousness for any time;<br />b. amnesia – inability to remember recent details;<br />c. inability to keep balance;<br />d. nausea or vomiting not explained by another cause, such as known gastroenteritis; and/or<br />e. fitting,<br />an ambulance should be called by dialling 000.<br /><br />In no circumstance should the Participant resume playing, training or umpiring until an assessment is made by a qualified medical doctor. The Club or Association may request clearance by a qualified medical doctor prior to permitting the Participant to resume playing, training or umpiring.<br /><br />6.2 If the Participant reports any of the symptoms above, the doctor (or medically trained person), the team (captain, coach, administrator or official) that attended to the participant should direct the Participant to stop playing, training or umpiring and the Participant must do so.<br />6.3 If the Participant is suspected, presumed or has an established concussion, the Club or Association should seek a clearance by a qualified medical person before the Participant be permitted to return to playing, training or umpiring, in line with Section 7 below.<br />6.4 More serious co-existing diagnoses (e.g. fractured skull, neck injury) should be managed as an emergency priority and once these are excluded then diagnosis of concussion can be considered. In all circumstances, an ambulance should be called.<br /><br />7. RETURN TO PLAY<br />7.1 If a Participant has been diagnosed with a concussion, the final determination on whether the Participant may return to play, must be made by a qualified medical officer.<br />7.2 Participant must not return to play on the same day (i.e. for the match in a limited overs match) if the diagnosis of concussion is established.<br />7.3 The gradual return to play should be followed. An example of a gradual return to play program is outlined in Appendix 1. It should be noted that the activities are examples and a guide to return to play.<br />7.4 A Participant may be required to sit out the duration of a multi-day match and/or further matches if required through the medical review.<br />7.5 It is recommended that any player returning to play after a diagnosis of concussion should provide his/her club with a letter from a qualified medical officer stating that he/she has recovered from the concussion and is medically ft to return to play.<br /><br />8. DOCUMENTATION<br />Cricket Australia recommends that all cases of concussion or suspected concussion (and all other head traumas) should be documented on an injury report. As a minimum, the injury report should record the date and time of the incident, the venue and how the incident occurred (e.g. batting, fielding) and any of the symptoms reported or signs observed.<br /><br />Example of Gradual Return to Play after Concussion<br /><br />xxx TABLE App D Stage, Recommende Activity xxx<br /><br />STAGE, RECOMMENDED ACTIVITY<br />Complete physical & cognitive rest, Relative physical and cognitive rest for a minimum of 24hrs post incident, and until all symptoms & signs have resolved.<br />Light aerobic exercise, Walking, swimming or stationary cycling maintaining intensity around 70% estimated maximum heart rate. No resistance strength training.<br />Sport-specifc exercise, Running drills e.g. 10 x 50m runs. Walk back to the start between repetitions. Not to exceed 80% estimated maximum heart rate. No cricket or strength<br />resistance training activities.<br />Non-competitive skills training, Progression to more complex training drills e.g. bowling drills (no batsman), fielding drills, batting drills throw-downs. Sub-maximal resistance strength training. No additional conditioning.<br />Full Training, Full participation in cricket and strength and conditioning training at a volume and intensity appropriate to the time lost to injury. Should include skills that challenge physical and cognitive capabilities.<br /> <br /><br /><b>Appendix E BOWLING INJURY PREVENTION</b><br /><br />AGE BOWLING RESTRICTIONS FOR MATCHES<br />Age Group, Max. Overs Each , Spell *, Max. Overs Each Day, Target Balls per week (match & training)<br />Under 11, 2, 4,<br />Under 13, 4, 8, 100 to 120<br />Under 15, 5, 12, 100 to 120 Allow 4-6 weeks gradual bowling preparation prior to the season<br />Under 17, 6, 16, 120 to 150 Allow 6-8 weeks gradual bowling preparation prior to the season<br />Under 19, 7, 20, 150 to 180 Allow 8-10 weeks gradual bowling preparation prior to the season<br /><br />* Rest between spells should be the lesser of 1 hour of interruption to play OR the same number of overs from the same end as the completed spell.<br /><br />[A] This policy applies to all competitions. For the purpose of this policy, a player’s status shall be determined by their age on the thirty first [31] day of August in the season in which the competition is played. For example, a player who is eighteen [18] on the thirty first day of August shall be deemed to be under nineteen for the duration of that season. These restrictions apply equally to male and female players.<br />[B] A bowler who has bowled a spell of less than the maximum overs per spell may resume bowling prior to the completion of the necessary break as defined below, but this will be considered an extension of the same spell, and the maximum limit of overs for the spell will still apply. Following the completion of the spell, the normal break between spells will apply – the break within the spell is disregarded.<br />[C] Definitions: This policy applies to bowlers of medium pace or faster (as determined by the umpires and broadly defined as one to whom the wicket-keeper would normally stand back, or one who is not considered a slow bowler). The umpires shall immediately notify the captains of both sides of each bowler who they determine should be treated differently to this broad definition.<br />[D] Change of Bowling Type: Where a bowler changes between medium pace (or faster) and slow bowling during a day’s play:<br />(i) If the bowler begins with medium pace (or faster), the bowler is subject to the playing condition throughout the day.<br />(ii) If the bowler begins with slow bowling and changes to medium pace (or faster), the playing condition applies from the time of the change, and all overs of slow bowling bowled prior to the change shall not be taken into account in either the current spell or the daily limit.<br />[E] Umpires shall monitor the overs bowled by players. In the event of a bowler attempting to bowl more than the permitted quota of overs relevant to his age group, the umpire[s] should advise the captain and/or coach that the permissible number of overs has been bowled. Umpires will record players that exceed the number of overs per match or per spell in a given match on the match report to Queensland Cricket. Should the bowler continue to bowl and exceed the relevant quota, the umpire[s] shall report the matter to Queensland Cricket. Umpires have no power to suspend a player who breaches this regulation from bowling.<br />Notes: Refer to the current Cricket Australia Playing Policy and Guidelines (“Well Played”) for further details in relation to bowling injury prevention.<br /><br /><br /><b>Appendix F DOUBTFUL BOWLING ACTIONS PROCEDURES</b><br /><br />Effective 1st September 2017 (v2)<br /><br />1. Introduction<br />1.1 The aim of these procedures is to ensure that all bowlers playing cricket in Queensland have actions that comply with Law 21.2.<br />1.2 These procedures:<br />1.2.1 Detail the process for dealing with players bowling with a doubtful action in all competitions affiliated with Queensland Cricket<br />1.2.2 Provide for an additional mechanism for the reporting of players suspected of bowling with illegal bowling actions at Queensland Country Regional Championships and Under-Age Carnivals<br />1.3 Nothing contained herein shall override an umpire’s responsibility and discretion to apply Law 21.<br /><br />2. Umpires<br />2.1 Umpires have a duty to ensure the game is played within both the Laws and the Spirit of the game. Umpires must police Law 21.2 “Fair Delivery – The Arm, by notifying Queensland Cricket if they observe any bowler in a match situation who, in their opinion, possesses an action that may contravene these Laws.<br />2.2 Queensland Cricket has instructed umpires as follows:<br />2.2.1 There are three categories of delivery:<br />a. Fair Delivery<br />b. Illegal Delivery (Blatant Throw) and<br />c. Doubtful Delivery<br /><br />Illegal Delivery:<br />If an umpire believes a bowler has bowled a delivery that is clearly illegal (i.e. deliberately and blatantly thrown), the umpire shall call “no-ball” and Report the bowler on the Doubtful Bowling Action Report Form. To be considered an illegal delivery, the ball must be delivered with a markedly different action to the bowler’s normal deliveries.<br /><br />Doubtful Delivery:<br />If an umpire believes a bowler has bowled with an action that may be illegal, the umpire should not “call” the bowler, but record the bowler’s name on the Doubtful Bowling Action Report Form. The Doubtful Bowling Action Report Form will offer the umpire two options;<br /><br />Report: If an umpire believes that a bowler has bowled a ball with an action that is illegal, the umpire should “Report” that bowler on the Doubtful Bowling Action Report Form.<br /><br />Mention: If an umpire is suspicious that a bowler has bowled a ball with an action that may be illegal, the umpire should “Mention” that bowler on the Doubtful Bowling Action Report Form.<br />Note: Umpires, in deciding whether to call or report a player under these regulations, should use the naked eye viewing the action live and/or on television at normal speed. Slow motion television replays should only be used to confirm initial suspicions.<br /><br />2.3 If, in any of the competitions detailed in 1.2.1, a player is called by an umpire for throwing in accordance with Law 21.2 or is suspected by the umpire(s) for bowling with an action which contravenes Law 24.2 as read with Law 24.3 (a “Doubtful Bowling Action”), the following procedure shall apply.<br />2.4 “Umpire” in this procedure means a Cricket Australia accredited Umpire. Only a Cricket Australia accredited Umpire may “Mention” or “Report” a player under this procedure.<br /><br />3. Reporting Procedure<br />3.1 At the conclusion of the match the umpires shall write a report (the Doubtful Bowling Action Report) detailing their concerns about the bowling action of the Player, including whether those concerns relate to the Player’s bowling action generally or whether they relate to one or more specific types of delivery.<br />3.2 The umpires will notify the player, the Player’s coach (if applicable), at the end of the days play on which the report is made or the Player is called and email Queensland Cricket a copy of the report form within 72 hours of the conclusion of the match.<br />3.3 Queensland Cricket will then write to the Secretaries of the Player’s Club & Association to advise that the Player has been Mentioned or Reported, to include a copy of the Doubtful Bowling Action Report, and to describe the implications of this Mention or Report for the Player with respect to Queensland Cricket’s Doubtful Bowling Action Procedures.<br />3.4 If a player is called for throwing, Reported or Mentioned by the umpire/s officiating in that match the following procedure will apply:<br />3.4.1 A first mention it is important the Club coach works with the bowler to rectify any doubtfulness in the bowler’s action. Queensland Cricket will take no action at this stage.<br />3.4.2 A second mention of a bowler’s action within the same season will automatically elevate the bowler to the next level in the procedure.<br />3.4.3 A first report will place the bowler at Level 1. The Club coach works with the bowler to rectify any doubtfulness in the bowler’s action. Queensland Cricket will assist the Club coach with coaching methods and drills to assist in the rehabilitation of the bowler.<br />3.4.4 A second report will place the bowler at Level 2. At this level a Queensland Cricket representative will attend a training session and take video evidence of the bowler’s action. The Queensland Cricket representative will then provide video analysis of the action with recommendations for remedial work to be done on the bowler’s action. At this stage there will be an 8 week “intervention period” following the analysis to allow the remedial work to be undertaken. During this intervention period the player will be permitted to bowl in matches. They may still be reported, however such reports will not increase the bowlers level. When the 8 week intervention period is completed the Queensland Cricket representative will attend another session and review the bowler’s action. (Any further work completed by Queensland Cricket shall be charged to the club at $165.00 plus GST per session). At no stage does the Queensland Cricket “clear” the bowler’s action.<br />Should the bowler/club decide not to co-operate or participate in this part of the procedure the player will immediately be classified as Level 4, and will be suspended from bowling for 12 months.<br />3.4.5 A third report will place the bowler at Level 3. At this stage the bowler will not be permitted to bowl in any cricket matches for a period of 8 weeks from the date of the third report. This will allow any remedial work to be continued without the pressure of bowling in a match.<br />3.4.6 A fourth report will place the bowler at Level 4. At this stage the bowler will not be permitted to bowl in any cricket matches for a period of 12 months from the date of the third report.<br />“The procedure is ongoing and players do not return to Level 1 each season. Each report (or two mentions in one season, as the case may be) will progress the procedure, irrespective of time”. This is the same for Junior and Senior players treated.<br /><br />xxx App F Doubtful Bowling Action xxx<br /><br /><br /><b>Appendix G LIGHTNING SAFETY 30-30 RULE</b><br />Play will be suspended in Dangerous or Unreasonable Conditions<br />The following will apply in addition to Law 2.8 (2017 Code):<br />1. [30/30 Rule] If thunder follows a lightning flash by 30 seconds or less, play must cease immediately.<br />2. Players and umpires must leave the field immediately and must not return until 30 minutes after the initial lightning flash.<br />3. If during the suspension of play thunder follows a lightning flash by 30 seconds or less, the 30 minute suspension period is to recommence.<br /><br /><br /><b>Appendix H HOT WEATHER GUIDELINES</b><br />HYDRATION<br />1.1 Due to the vast range of body composition, fitness, and states of acclimatisation represented in childhood and adolescence, no single recommendation on the volume of fluid to be consumed is appropriate.<br />1.2 Regular and effective drinking practices should become habitual to young athletes before, during, and after activity.<br /><br />HEAT<br />2.1 Climatic conditions vary throughout Australia and individuals’ tolerances of heat and humidity varies significantly. Cricket<br />2.2 Australia recommends that Clubs, schools and Associations apply common-sense guidelines to climatic conditions that exist within their respective regions and consult with the Sport Medicine Australia or health promotion organisation within their State or Territory to assist in the development of local policies.<br />2.3 Further information can be found at Sports Medicine Australia: www.sma.org.au<br /><br />HOT WEATHER<br />3.1 Players’ health must always be considered in the scheduling of matches.<br />3.2 Sports Medicine Australia recommends that for children and adolescents, activities should be postponed or cancelled if the temperature reaches the temperature as designated by the local or State Association.<br />3.3 Action should be taken promptly by umpires and officials to cease play under any conditions that may be dangerous to the players and officials.<br /><br />GUIDELINES FOR FLUID REPLACEMENT<br />4.1 It is important that all involved with cricket take appropriate precautions to avoid sun damage.<br />4.2 Drinks breaks occur every 30 – 60 minutes in all matches (every 30 minutes in conditions of extreme temperature).<br />4.3 Water is the most appropriate drink for re-hydration. However, diluted cordial or sports drinks may be supplied.<br />4.4 Drinks should be available for individual players between drinks breaks. Umpires should be advised when additional drinks are sought and players should make every effort to ensure no time is wasted.<br />4.5 Players should be encouraged to have their own drink bottles.<br />4.6 This ensures that each player has access to an adequate level of replacement fluids and reduces the risk of contamination and viruses.<br />4.7 Where cups and a large container are supplied, cups should not be dipped into the container.<br />4.8 Used cups should be washed or disposed of after use.<br /><br />From the Well Played booklet p62-63,<br />www.community.cricket.com.au/clubs/running-your-club/well-played<br /><br /><br /><b>Appendix I NATIONAL CLUB RISK PROTECTION PROGRAM</b><br /><br />The National Club Risk Protection Program is a joint initiative of Cricket Australia and the State/ Territory Cricket Associations and has seen a number of financial benefits and savings provided to cricket Clubs across Australia.<br />The program was developed to help Clubs achieve appropriate and affordable insurance cover through a collective approach and greater purchasing power.<br />It is considered that every Club now has access to insurance at an affordable and consistent price.<br /><br />The program provides competitively priced broad protection as outlined in this table:<br /><br />xxx TABLE App I Policy Cover Example xxx<br /><br />POLICY, COVER, EXAMPLE<br />PUBLIC LIABILITY, $50m $500 excess, Slip and trip<br />ERRORS AND OMISSIONS LIABILITY (FOR COACHES & UMPIRES AND MANAGERS ONLY), $10m $2500 excess, Negligent advice by coach/trainer<br />PRODUCTS LIABILITY, $50m $500 excess, Faulty products sold by Club<br />CLUB MANAGEMENT LIABILITY, $10m variable excess, Negligence in capacity of office bearers<br />PERSONAL ACCIDENT, 85 per cent Non-Medicare costs $5000 max $50 excess, Injuries sustained during Club activities<br />LOSS OF INCOME, 85 per cent of net weekly income up to a maximum of $500 14 -day excess, Income lost due to injury sustained during Club activity<br /><br />It is important that Clubs register for insurance with the National Club Risk Protection Program and complete the online risk management module, and print their Certificate of Currency.<br />For further information, contact JLT Sport on 1300 130 373 for assistance. Or see their website https://cricket.jltsport.com.au/club<br /><br />RISK MANAGEMENT<br />Risk Management is a process of systematically identifying risks and eliminating or reducing the likelihood and consequence to the participants, sport and Club should they occur.<br /><br />The development and implementation of a risk management plan that is compliant with cricket laws and policies, and appropriate for the nature and scale of the cricket Club environment is recommended. A risk management plan should aim to: Reduce the frequency and severity of injuries; and Position cricket as a safe sport.<br /><br />The following steps can assist a Club or Association to identify risks and help provide a safe environment for all participants:<br />Step 1 – Get support from committee and Club members/players<br />Step 2 – Appoint a Risk Management Officer<br />Step 3 – Identify potential risks (what could go wrong?)<br />Step 4 – Assess potential risks (what is the impact on the Club or Club members?)<br />Step 5 – Manage potential risks (what will the Club do?)<br />Step 6 – Monitor and review risks and procedures.<br /><br />Clubs owe a duty of care to their players, officials and spectators to provide a safe environment in which to train for, play and watch cricket.<br /><br />A great way to ensure your Club does this is to complete a match day checklist. The checklist is a basic inspection tool that helps to identify safety concerns and record actions taken to reduce or eliminate such concerns. In the event of an incident, having a completed match day checklist can be hugely beneficial for demonstrating that this duty of care was discharged properly.<br /><br />CRICKET MATCH DAY APP<br />To assist with match day checks, JLT Sport have created a Cricket Match Day app available on iOS and Android. The app provides an easy-to-use method of working through the necessary match day checks on issues such as playing surfaces, weather conditions, first aid provision and general hazard awareness. On completion of the checklist, the information recorded is stored in your phone or tablet and can be emailed to Club officials for record-keeping purposes. In addition, the completion of regular facility checks are also recommended.<br />For more information: www.jltsport.com.au/cricketaustralia<br /><br />GAME DAY CHECKLIST<br />A written version of this is available at https://cricket.jltsport.com.au/documents/Checklist%2Epdf?41e51c<br /><br />Adapted from p52 and p60 of Well Played – Australian Cricket’s Playing Policies and Community Guidelines<br />www.community.cricket.com.au/clubs/running-your-club/well-played<br /></p><p><br /><b>Appendix J CHILD PROTECTION POLICIES<br /></b><br />Cricket Australia’s Safeguarding Children and Young People policy is presented here.<br />https://qsdca.com.au/12-safeguarding-children-and-young-people/<br /><br />BLUE CARDS<br />Who needs a blue card?<br /><br />Volunteers need a blue card if their work in sport includes, or is likely to include, providing services that are directed mainly towards children, or conducting activities that mainly involve children, unless an exemption applies.<br /><br />Police officers and registered teachers do not apply for a blue card and should instead apply for an exemption card under this category if they are providing child-related services which are outside of their professional duties.<br /><br />Required information can be found at http://www.bluecard.qld.gov.au/<br /><br />It is good practice for clubs and associations to keep a database of those who have blue cards and are first aid qualified, including expiry dates.
