<br />
<b>SO FAR...</b><br />
<ul>
<li>The QSDCA Playing regulations were rewritten in 2015/2016 and reviewed in 2017.</li>
<li>A set of Playing regulations for Sunday 50 Over Competition was developed in 2017.</li>
<li>A minor review of the Super 20 Kookaburra Cup Playing Regulations was also completed in 2017.</li>
</ul>
Good work is never rewarded by slacking off so... the blog aims to discuss ideas and develop them.<br />
<br />
<br />
The overall aim is to present the reviewed regulations for adoption at the AGM on 16 July 2018.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i><b>Just because some matter is being talked about here doesn't mean it's <u>inevitable.</u></b></i><i><b> </b></i></li>

Free Hit in Saturday One Dayers<b>CURRENT STATUS </b><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>WHAT'S THE IDEA?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The free hit is included in Sunday 50 Over and Super 20 competition. It should be introduced for Saturday One Dayers also.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>DISCUSSION</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a modernisation that exists in many modern One Day cricket competitions. Its inclusion makes the game more exciting and challenging.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Issues against the idea include:</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Unnecessarily extending the overs of poor bowlers. (They'll be the ones who bowl 4 wides and a no ball that stops at mid on or something.. Frankly, they'll only bowling one over and that is for giggles.) </li>
<li>Providing another way for bowling sides to get behind in their over rate.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Neither of these are particular issues in Sunday 50 Over matches. In fact it provides a considerable incentive for bowlers to avoid bowling no balls. </div>

<b><span style="color: red;">NOTICE OF MOTION ready.</span><span style="color: red;"> </span></b><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<b>ABM 25-Jun-2018</b></div>
<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<b>WHAT'S THE ISSUE?</b><br />
<br />
In 2017 the Laws of Cricket underwent a major revision. The new Law 42 Player Conduct introduced some radical new powers for umpires dealing with misbehaviour including yellow card, sin bin and red card sanctions for levels of misbehaviour.<br />
<br />
Most cricket associations seem to react to this new Law by ignoring it. Certainly other major QC affiliated Brisbane cricket groups (Premier (Grade) Cricket and Warehouse) did that.. <br />
<br />
In season 2017/18 QSDCA decided to suspend the new Law 42 and rely instead on the established Code of Behaviour (See Appendix A of QSDCA Playing Regulations). This includes the provisions for reporting players to the Conducts Commission either internal to the QSDCA or the more formal Qld Cricket Conducts Commission.<br />
<br />
This season I think we should put a line in the Playing Regulations to formalise this non-acceptance.<br />
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
<br />
This idea is regarded as not controversial in any way.<br />
<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<b>PROPOSAL </b><br />
Add the following Regulation to Saturday Playing Regulation<b> </b>18.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">18.4 Law 42 Player Conduct (2017 Code) will not be used in any competition in this association.</span></b><br />
<br />
Super 20 Reg 25 and Sunday 50 Reg 30 refer participants in those competitions to Saturday regulation 18 and the Code of Behaviour in Appendix A, Intoxicated player Policy in Appendix B and the Racial and Religious Vilification policy in Appendix C. This covers virtually all reportable behaviour offences for all competitions.<br />
<b></b><br />

<br />
<b>WHATS THE ISSUE?</b><br />
A similar regulation to this appears in both the Saturday and Super 20 Playing regulations. This playing regulation was overlooked when composing the Sunday 50 Over Playing Regulations. <br />
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
This regulation details the actions and procedures to decide whether play will take place especially on wet days. <br />
<br />
Apart from numbering, the wording is the same as in the Super 20 Reg 24. This includes provision for the 30-30 lightning safety rules and is otherwise identical to the Saturday Playing Reg 16. <br />
<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<b>PROPOSAL</b><br />
<br />
Include the following regulation in Sunday 50 Over Playing Regulations.<br />
<b><br /><span style="color: red;">29. FITNESS OF GROUNDS </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">BEFORE PLAY </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">29.1 Before the start of play, any decision regarding the fitness of a ground for play will be made together by the captains of the teams drawn to play on that ground. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.2 Such decision will be made after the Captains or their representatives have inspected the ground on the day of the match or waived their opportunity to do so. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.3 If the day's play is called off then the Captains will tell the Umpires Coordinator for the association immediately. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.4 If the day's play is called off then both Captains will tell their Club Secretaries. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.5 If the day's play is called off when the match is to be played at a neutral ground Captains will contact the Club Secretary of the host ground's club also. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.6 If the day's play is not called off then umpires and players will attend the ground at the normal time for play. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.7 For any match played on a School wicket, the school's Principal or groundsman appointed by the Principal will have overriding authority to determine whether play will commence or continue. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;"> DURING THE MATCH </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">29.8 After play has commenced all decisions concerning the fitness of the pitch, ground, weather and light for play will be made by the Umpire(s). </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.9 In the absence of official umpire(s) Captains will agree about fitness of the pitch, ground, weather and light for play. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.9.1 When captains are unable to reach an agreement, the state of the match will continue unchanged until agreement can be reached. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;"> SUSPENSION IN DANGEROUS OR UNREASONABLE CONDITIONS </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">29.10 Play will be suspended in Dangerous or Unreasonable Conditions </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.10.1 The following will apply in addition to Law 2.8 (2017 Code) </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.10.1.1 [30/30 Rule] If thunder follows a lightning flash by 30 seconds or less, play must cease immediately. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.10.1.2 Players and umpires must leave the field immediately and must not return until 30 minutes after the initial lightning flash.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">29.10.1.3 If during the suspension of play thunder follows a lightning flash by 30 seconds or less, the 30 minute suspension period is to recommence. </span></b>QSDCA Playing Regulations Rewrite Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00558018762157991775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124375904615456.post-85889217411571671162018-06-13T23:14:00.000+10:002018-06-25T23:10:14.951+10:0013. Waist High Full Pitch Balls<b>CURRENT STATUS</b><br />

<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<br />
<b>WHAT'S THE ISSUE?</b><br />
<br />
In the new 2017 code (Law 41.7) the term 'waist high full pitch balls' is replaced by 'non-pitching deliveries'.<br />
<br />
Saturday Playing Reg 9.5, Sunday 50 playing Reg 17.1-17.3 are affected by this. A reg similar to these needs to be included in the Super 20 Playing Regulations.<br />
<br />
A similar regulation to this can be added to the Super 20 Playing Regulations. The numbering suggested below is suitable for existing Super 20 Regulations. Another issue for review involves renumbering all the Super 20 Regulations so it could change numbers. Also where it says 'add to glossary', Super 20 Regs need to have a Glossary.<br />

Super Bonus Point for One Dayers<b>CURRENT STATUS</b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: red;"><b>NOTICE OF MOTION ready.</b></span></b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="color: red;"><b><span style="color: red;"><b> </b></span></b></span><i><b>ABM 25-Jun-2018</b></i></div>
<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<br />
<b>WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? </b><br />
<ul>
<li>First team batting collapses for 35 all out in 10 overs, second team achieves a result inside a few overs... </li>
<li>Result: big win but relatively few bonus points (4 + 1.5 + 0.36 = 5.86)... </li>
<li>Compared to a more "normal' game (eg. 9/150 def by 2/151 (points for winners are 4 + 1.35 + 1.51 = 6.86)</li>
<li>Result: More points scored for a routine win than for a major win. </li>
</ul>
By
bowling well and dismissing the first batting side cheaply the second
team effectively misses out on a whole bonus point.<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
<ul>
</ul>
So introduce a super bonus point for results inside <strike>15 </strike> 20 overs.*<br />
<ul>
</ul>
* Note: does not apply in rain shortened games.<br />
<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
What about the Sunday 50 over games? A super bonus point for results inside 30 overs.<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<b>(Tweaked minimum overs for bonus point and reworded proposed qualification condition. 25-Jun-2018)</b> <br />
<br />
An alternative suggestion was to run a scheme based on net run rate. The Super Bonus Point is easier to implement. The net run rate idea might be considered in the future.<br />
<br />
Q. How can a super bonus point for a win
be achieved within 20 overs for a team bowling second?<br />
<span id="bc_0_2b+seedDS_aD" kind="d"></span><br />
<span id="bc_0_2b+seedDS_aD" kind="d">Such as:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span id="bc_0_2b+seedDS_aD" kind="d">In a match where team 1 bats first and scores 2/150 in 35 overs.</span></li>
<li><span id="bc_0_2b+seedDS_aD" kind="d">Team 1 then takes all 10 wickets of team 2 within 20 overs</span><span id="bc_0_2b+seedDS_aD" kind="d">. </span></li>
<li><span id="bc_0_2b+seedDS_aD" kind="d">Team 1 would claim a super bonus point
in such a case.</span></li>
</ul>
<span id="bc_0_2b+seedDS_aD" kind="d">A. The proposed Reg 11.21.6
covers such a circumstance. It is possible for either team to achieve a super bonus point regardless of the coin toss.</span><br />
<br />
Q. What about interruptions for bad light ? Often bad light curtails the end of the second innings.<br />
A. In such a case Sat Reg 11.10 would apply: result determined by average run rate. At this point both sides would have received more than 20 overs so Super Bonus Point would not apply.<br />
<br />
For a bad light interruption any earlier in the day then the match becomes an interrupted match as described in Sat Reg 11.5-11.8. Super Bonus Point will not apply in accordance with new reg 11.21.6.1<br />
<br />
Q. What if there are only say 4
overs lost due to rain and each side then receives 33 overs instead of
35. If you chased the total down inside 20 overs, should that still
qualify ?<br />
A. Sat Reg 11.21.6.1. says no.<br />
<br />
<span id="bc_0_2b+seedDS_aD" kind="d"></span><br />
<br />
<b>A PROPOSAL</b><br />
<br />
Add the following Regulation for Saturdays<br />

QSDCA Playing Regulations Rewrite Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00558018762157991775noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124375904615456.post-33647615731923153772018-06-11T07:32:00.000+10:002018-06-25T23:21:53.220+10:0011. Metal Tipped Stumps<div dir="ltr">
<b> </b><b>CURRENT STATUS</b><br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>NOTICE OF MOTION ready.</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<b>ABM 25-Jun-2018</b></div>
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<br />
<b>WHAT'S THE ISSUE?</b><br />
Adjust equipment rules to forbid metal parts in stumps.<br />
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION</b> <br />
Some old fashioned stumps have ferrules around the top (metal 'rings') and cone shaped spike covers. All held in place by sharp, little headless tacks.<br />
<br />
These have an unsafe habit of detaching unpredictably when hit by the ball. Flying sharp metal parts tend to have a worrying impact. Much safer to avoid the problem by specifying <b>***all***</b> wood for stumps.<br />
<br />
This is not explicit in the latest edition of the laws of cricket (See Law 8.1 and Appendix D)<br />
<br />
This change is in response to an Umpire's report of metal tipped stumps used in a match in 2017/18. When we checked for rules against this we were slightly surprised to find out that there isn't one. It was suggested that "no metal stumps" is an old rule that "everybody knows". The reported incident demonstrates that this is not so.<br />
<br />
There is a provision in the 2017 laws (8.3.4) to allow bails to be attached by strings to the stumps. This is to reduce the risk of flying bails hitting eyes following a tragic incident involving former South African Test wicketkeeper, Mark Boucher.<br />
Report <a href="https://tinyurl.com/y78sgozz">https://tinyurl.com/y78sgozz</a> Video <a href="https://tinyurl.com/y72l53op">https://tinyurl.com/y72l53op</a><br />
<br />
But I have yet to see bails of this type in use.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that bails and stumps might be made of plastic or fibreglass or some modern material in the future. So far as I know these are not widely used or available at present. Because wooden stumps remain cheap and practical this means other materials needs not be considered in regulations.<br />
<br />
This regulation change makes use of wooden stumps beyond dispute.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<br />
<b>PROPOSAL</b><br />
<br />
Add these regulations:<br />
<br />
Saturday Playing Regulations <br />
<b><span style="color: red;">9.13.1 Stumps and bails will be wholly made of wood.</span></b><br />
<br />
Sunday 50 Over Playing Regulations<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">9.3.1 Stumps and bails will be wholly made of wood. </span></b><br />
<br />
Super 20 Playing Regulations<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;"> 11.3.1 Stumps and bails will be wholly made of wood. </span></b><br />
<br />
Note: No Kit, Balls and Equipment set of regulations exists in current Super 20 Regs. See Super 20 Regs update issue <a href="https://tinyurl.com/y7oxyeyk">https://tinyurl.com/y7oxyeyk</a><br />

Things that need fixing in Super 20<b>CURRENT STATUS</b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Management Committee decided to defer this proposal to allow development of a complete Super 20 Regulations Review.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<b>ABM 25-Jun-2018</b></div>
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<b>WHAT'S THIS ABOUT </b><br />
<br />
Basically this is no more than a tidying up exercise. But the mess is very knotty so it's a big job.<br />
<br />
Many of the problem regs can simply be copied from a broadly similar Saturday or Sunday regulation. ( A straight swap in and renumber exercise.)<br />
<br />
But many of the Super 20 Regs might contradict or have incompatibility with other competitions. For this reason current Super 20 Regulations cannot be integrated into the other regulations.<br />
<br />
Honestly I haven't checked that it is ALL of them.<br />
<br />
The issue of combining all three sets of playing regulations into a single document is a MAJOR job. See separate discussion about this issue at <b><a href="https://tinyurl.com/ya6vgf5g">https://tinyurl.com/ya6vgf5g</a></b> .<br />
<br />
Biggest outstanding issue is that generally the numbering in the Super 20 Regs is a mess.<br />
<br />
The simplest way to proceed is to number in a "reg. no"."number" fashion for each complete sentence. (Item G below shows an example of this.)<br />
<br />
When all these are complete then integration can be considered. I think this needs quite a bit of work to complete. It might even require a complete rewrite process.<br />
<br />
But it's a headache.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile....<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>WHAT'S THE LIST OF THINGS TO FIX</b><br />
<br />
Here is a list of items needing attention in the Super 20 Regs.<br />
<br />
First, rules for these (A to E) are missing (partly or entirely) from the current Super 20 regulations: <br />
<br />
<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<b>Item A Waist High No Ball Rule. </b><br />
Some advice about this is presently included in the Super 20 scorebook but **NOT** in the Playing Regulations. <br />
<ul>
<li>Add to Super 20 Reg 14 with 3 new clauses similar to Sunday 50 Over Regs 17.1-17.3. </li>
<li>This can be eliminated from Super 20 section when the regulations are integrated (eventually). </li>
</ul>
<br />

QSDCA Playing Regulations Rewrite Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00558018762157991775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124375904615456.post-87225936692437230182018-06-09T15:21:00.000+10:002018-06-25T23:31:31.907+10:0009. Square leg Player Umpires<b><b>CURRENT STATUS</b><br />
</b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red;"><b>QSDCA Management Committee declined to support this (June 2018). </b></span></span><br />
</b></span></b><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<b><span style="color: red;"><b> </b></span>ABM 25-Jun-2018</b></div>
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<br />
<b>WHAT'S THE IDEA?</b><br />
It was suggested at a recent umpires' meeting that square leg player
umpires be <u>required</u> to wear "closed shoes" rather than <u>allowed</u> to wear "thongs".<br />
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION</b> <br />
I asked what reason might be cited for this. I was suggested "health and safety". This was not a lengthy conversation but my reaction is against what hazard?<br />
<br />
I am unconvinced of the need for this on <b><u>safety</u></b> grounds.<br />
The worst hazards that could possibly be encountered on a cricket field are discarded sharp objects, broken glass, prickly weeds. Most people would say thongs are probably enough to deal with these hazards.<br />
<br />
I don't think there would be heavy falling objects, hot or otherwise unsafe liquid chemicals, biting insects or dangerous animals (dogs or snakes) or non-visible, unstable or slippery surfaces (which might be unsafe to walk on with bare feet). Those things might make closed shoes a necessity (in a kitchen or a factory or a densely foliated jungle perhaps.)<br />
<br />
<br />
The real reason is more likely something to do with image. A couple of years ago regulation 8.4.1 was rewritten to include terms like 'reasonably clothed' for player umpires. The intention of this was to make player umpires appearance more formal and less casual.<br />
The traditional image of cricket (whites, on a green field with a red ball) is something many people continue to aspire toward.<br />
<b>Player umpires wearing closed shoes is in line with that aspiration.</b><br />
<br />
This
requires careful definition. Sandals and slip-ons (e.g. 'crocs') might
become a grey area. So I think adding a good glossary definition will help.<br />
<br />
The hardest part of this idea is actually the implementation. Square leg umpires come and go as they please, even in an A1 match. The umpire is usually too busy or disinclined to check this comprehensively. Captains and players are often uninformed or not interested in checking as well. They are more concerned with getting anyone to volunteer, let alone get dressed as well.<br />
<br />
The best way to run this is to motivate players, teams and captains so they themselves want to do it. Somehow we have to sell the image (referred to above) and then it's done. Problem is.... how.<br />
<br />
This problem is actually the same as the team shirts compliance issue. So go see the discussion at another post.<br />

Finals rules in Sunday 50 Over comp<b><b><b>CURRENT STATUS</b><br />

<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<br />
<b>WHAT'S THE ISSUE?</b><br />
<br />
A slight botchup ensued in 2018 with the Sunday 50 over final.<br />
<br />
It was washed out by rain.<br />
<br />
When the Management Committee tried to reschedule it for the following Sunday, the leading team objected that this was not allowed under the rules and that the rules said washout equals leading team wins.<br />
<br />
The other team who qualified in a lower position on the ladder were naturally keen to play (this at least gave them a (sporting) chance to win the game).<br />
<br />
There were some other issues about members of a team going overseas and an outstanding bill but these are complications not relevant to the discussion of playing regulations.<br />
<br />
In the end the Sunday 50 over final was not rescheduled. The leading team were made premiers. <b></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
<br />
There might be a few holes in the Regulations. <br />
<ul>
<li>Sunday Regulation 27.5 says the *venue* is the Management Committee's choice. According to the dictionary meaning, "venue" specifically refers to place rather than time. This only relates to allocating the location for the finals and not changing the date. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The leading team's argument was that Sunday Regulation 28.1 says "if match is a tie then result is highest on the ladder" so washout means the same outcome. This is a weak argument since the result of the final *was not* a tie. It was match abandoned. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Regulation 27.3 about determining placings does not help much since it refers specifically to "semi-finals". </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Regulation 28.2 says in any case of dispute the Management Committee gets to decide the outcome of the final(s). </li>
</ul>
It is possible to argue that QSDCA has there is no explicit regulation that covers the final being abandoned.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>From Sunday Warehouse Rules</b></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<b>SIDE NOTE:</b><br />
<br />
It must be admitted that these rules were based on the Warehouse Sunday 50 over comp.<br />
<br />
They do cover the issue of abandoned finals (see Reg 3(c)).<br />
<br />
The wording is interesting.... if 1st place/minor premiers are defeated in a semi final and the final is, say, 2nd v 4th and THEN IT IS abandoned/washed out, then 1st place (aka minor premiers) become premiers..... wow!<br />
<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<br />
<b>MORE DISCUSSION</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Just looking at Regulation 15.5 in the Saturday Playing Regulations has given me a shiver too. It doesn't say anything about what happens if grand final is a washout other than Premiers are determined "by points as in regulation 10.29 excluding bonus points".</li>
<li>Reg 10.29 says match abandoned = 2 points each... so that wouldn't help decide.</li>
<li>Regulation 15.4 establishes a hierarchy based determination of placings (similar to Sunday regulation 27.3) but the term 'placings' implies it's about deciding semi-finalists rather than premiers.</li>
<li>Luckily Saturday Regulation 15.6 gives the Management Committee overriding decision authority as in Sunday Regulation 28.2.</li>
</ul>
<b>Regarding Saturday Finals Regulation 15</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Sat Reg 15.4 already refers to 'placings'.</li>
<li>In the event of a total washout of a grand final for the Saturday
Competition, do we want to be able to stage a replay on a 'reserve day'?
Usually there's no available weekends due to Easter/School
Holidays/football/some reason or other.</li>
<li>The easiest way for teams to end up on the same points is a final
where no first innings result is achieved. Bonus points do not count
according to Reg 15.5.1</li>
<li>The following proposal for Reg 15.5 says that in the event
that teams in a semi final or final end up on the same points then winner is decided
as in Reg 15.4</li>
<li>Reg 15.6 gives the Management Committee considerable powers to make
up something to deal with an unusual circumstance. I'm sure they would
do their best to be fair to each team. </li>
</ul>
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<b>Regarding the Sunday 50 Over Regulations</b><br />
<br />
Adam Brady has proposed that we add provisions in the 50 over comp playing regulations for:<br />
1) A reserve day for the final<br />
2) That the premiership will not be awarded if a club is not financial.<br />
and
proposed to change playing regulation 28.1 to “If the final ends
in a tie, <b><span style="color: red;">is abandoned or there is no result</span></b>, the highest ranked team of
the finalists at the end of the preliminary matches will be determined
as the Premiers.” <br />
<br />
The following proposal for Sunday Reg 27.3 says that placings (for either semi final or final) (rather than the much more complex 'right to play in the semi-final') are determined by the factors listed. This is more consistent and simple language.<br />
<br />
The following proposal for Sunday Reg 27.5 makes it clear that both venue and date can be varied by Management Committee decision regardless of cause. Of course this includes washouts, unavailability of grounds, convenience of teams and players or any other circumstances that might arise. This allows a reserve day (be it <u>planned</u> or... otherwise).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>SIDE NOTE:</b><br />
<br />
Note that Sunday 50 Over Regs use the terms SEMI-FINAL and FINAL and the Saturday Regulations use the terms PLAY OFF MATCHES and PREMIERSHIP MATCHES. This should be fixed but it's too much for now....<br />
<br />
Super 20 Finals Reg 21 is a mess.<br />

<b><span style="color: red;">NOTICE OF MOTION ready. </span></b></b><br />

<b>WHAT'S THE ISSUE?</b><br />
There's a new Head Trauma Procedure Appendix (as distributed for the February Delegates meeting.) <br />
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
It's shorter and more direct than the old one. See Appendix D in the Saturday Playing Regulations. <b><a href="https://tinyurl.com/ybcyecp4">https://tinyurl.com/ybcyecp4</a></b><br />
<br />
This is a policy from CA and the motivation for it is player safety/injury prevention/proper treatment of concussion.<br />
<br />
<span class="fontstyle0">Concussion and head trauma, along with the associated potential long-term consequences, are a significant issue in the majority of sports, including cricket.</span>
<br />
<br />
Diagnosis of concussion and potential brain injury is **very** difficult to diagnose even for Doctors. Minor knocks can lead to major brain injury in unpredictable ways. Even medical professionals find this difficult to get right. This article summarizes the risks <a href="https://tinyurl.com/yaezsmde">https://tinyurl.com/yaezsmde</a><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="fontstyle0">The danger is if we allow head injured players to carry on when they are incapable of clear decisions, the association, the clubs and the captains open ourselves up to both <b>legal action for negligence</b> (for instance) and the risk of <b>allowing minor trauma to develop into major injury</b>. (i.e. a simple knock on the head could end up as brain injury or even death.)</span>
<br />
<br />
I believe modification or rejection of the policy would risk dis-affiliation with
Queensland Cricket or Cricket Australia AND an unfavorable increase in
player insurance premiums.<br />
<br />
<br />
In my opinion, this procedure implies that there should be a report form for injury reports (TBD) and some scheme for obligatory reporting of injuries at matches. Just like at work....<br />
<br />
A head injury trauma policy of some sort has been in place since 2016. In that time NO reports of serious head injury have been received by the Management Committee.<br />
<br />
That might mean this is not a real big problem.<br />
<br />
But as Benny Hill once said:<br />
“Just because nobody complains doesn't mean all parachutes are perfect” <br />
<br />
This new should be read in the context of Appendix K Playing Condition - Helmets also.That policy remains in force.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<b>PROPOSAL</b><br />
<br />
Here's the new version. This will replace the existing Appendix D. In practice it has been de facto in force since mid last season.<br />
<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Appendix D COMMUNITY CRICKET CONCUSSION & HEAD TRAUMA GUIDELINES</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">Version 1.0</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Date last reviewed: 01 August 2017</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Review frequency: Annual</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">1.1 Community Cricket representatives and participants should take a conservative approach to managing concussion.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">1.2 Participants in Community Cricket should wear appropriate and well fitted protective gear including helmets.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">1.3 Any player or official that has a suspected concussion should:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"> 1.3.1 be immediately removed from the training and playing environment;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"> 1.3.2 not return on the same day without medical clearance; and</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"> 1.3.3 be assessed by a qualified medical officer.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">1.4 Any player or official with a confirmed concussion should:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">1.4.1 not return to play or train on the same day; and</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">1.4.2 only return to play or train once cleared by a qualified medical officer.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">2. INTRODUCTION</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">3. SCOPE</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">3.1 This Guideline applies to: (i) all male and female players and (ii) all umpires (collectively referred to as Participants):</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;"> 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</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"> 3.1.2 who receive a blow to the head or neck (either bare or while wearing protective equipment), whether by ball or otherwise.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">3.2 Australian Cricket recommends Affiliated Clubs and Associations enforce these Guidelines for Participants taking part in Community Cricket training, matches and competitions.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">4. RELATED DOCUMENTS</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">4.1 Club Assist Well Played Resource Guide (http://community.cricket.com.au/clubs/well-played)</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">5. PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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).</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">5.2 Australian Cricket recommends that umpires wear properly fitted BS7928:2013 compliant helmets.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">6. HEAD AND NECK TRAUMA MANAGEMENT</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">(a) Ask the Participant how they are feeling as soon as possible after the incident – preferably before play resumes;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">(b) Assume that the Participant has sustained a concussion if the Participant reports any of the following symptoms;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"> a. dizziness;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"> b. headache;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"> c. nausea;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"> d. feeling vague; and / or</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"> 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).</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">(c) If the Participant has any of the following signs and symptoms;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">a. loss of consciousness for any time;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">b. amnesia – inability to remember recent details;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">c. inability to keep balance;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">d. nausea or vomiting not explained by another cause, such as known gastroenteritis; and/or</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">e. fitting,</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">an ambulance should be called by dialling 000.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">7. RETURN TO PLAY</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">8. DOCUMENTATION</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">Appendix1: Example of Gradual Return to Play after Concussion</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: red;">STAGE</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">RECOMMENDED ACTIVITY</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Complete physical & cognitive rest</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Relative physical and cognitive rest for a minimum of 24hrs post incident, and until all symptoms & signs have resolved.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Light aerobic exercise</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Walking, swimming or stationary cycling maintaining intensity around 70% estimated maximum heart rate. No resistance/strength training.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Sport-specifc exercise</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">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/resistance training activities.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Non-competitive skills training</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Progression to more complex training drills e.g. bowling drills (no batsman), felding drills, batting drills/throw-downs. Sub-maximal resistance/strength training. No additional conditioning.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Full Training</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">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.</span></b><br />

<b>WHAT'S THE IDEA?</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Makeup time for time lost on day 1.</li>
<li>This is an idea in line with modern Test cricket. </li>
<li>Extra playing time is allowed in cases where overs are lost to interruptions such as rain, bad light, injury delay or other reasons.</li>
</ul>
<b>DISCUSSION</b> <br />
<ul>
<li>Options are extremely limited. </li>
<li>Extra time on Day 2 is only available before or after regular playing time. </li>
<li>Before will be restricted by junior cricket (as for a 12.30pm start). </li>
<li>After will be limited by light especially in September or March. </li>
<li>Also it will be hard to ensure this is applied equally and fairly for all matches.</li>
<li>If extra playing time is allowed for one game and then not for another game this may lead to disputes.</li>
<li>Reg 9.17 already says if whole of day 1 is lost then match becomes a limited over One Day match. There's even a provision under certain circumstances to doa new coin toss.<br /><br />Realistically, this will only be important when a result is desired i.e. last few rounds before finals... Extra time when the game is petering out to a dull draw would cause a few groans I think!! </li>

Hours of Play in finals<b><b>CURRENT STATUS</b></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><b>QSDCA Management Committee declined to support this (May 2018). </b></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<b>ABM Update 10-Jun-2018</b></div>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<b>WHAT'S THE IDEA?</b> <br />
<br />
John Rossiter suggested a variation of the hours of finals (a later start?) to avoid dew.<br />
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
10.30am or 11am start are the obvious options but this may cause light problems at 5.30pm or 6pm especially in March. Shortening the breaks (eg 20 minute lunch break) might not cause too many objections.<br />
<br />
Against this idea is the notion that the playing hours for the finals are meant to be the same as for first class cricket. <br />
<br />
Also Finals would be improved if a presentation of premiership trophies at the conclusion of the finals was held. Mel and Bruce commented that this has been tried before and posed considerable logistical and trophy safety problems. Many of the shields are aged and delicate and some aren't in the best condition. Nonetheless it could be an idea worth pursuing for the promotional opportunities. Replica trophies could be used?<br />
<br />
Precise details of the hours proposal are not yet clear at this time.<br />
<br />
To make any change the Playing Regulations 15.8 and 15.9 would need to be revised.<br />
<br />
<b>CURRENT REGULATIONS</b><br />
<b> </b> <br />
<span class="fontstyle0">HOURS OF PLAY</span><span class="fontstyle2">15.8 The hours of play for all PLAY OFF MATCHES will be: Session 1 10am to 12 Noon, Session<br />2 12.40 pm to 2.40 pm, Session 3 3pm to 5pm<br />15.9 Play may continue for a maximum of thirty (30) minutes with a minimum of seven (7)<br />overs to compensate for any time lost during that day.<br />15.9.1 For example: 20 minutes lost due to rain at 3pm, play extends to 5.20pm<br />15.9.2 For example: 90 minutes lost due to bad light from 10am, play extends to<br />5.30pm<br />15.9.3 For example: 40 minutes lost at 3.30pm, slow over rate means minimum overs<br />completed at 5.15pm, play extends to 5.45pm</span>

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
<b>WHAT'S THE ISSUE?</b><br />
Casual Replacements for players who suffer serious injuries after the start of play, day one.<br />
<br />
<b>Terminology check:</b><br />
<span class="fontstyle0">Note that <b>Substitute Fielders</b> are defined in Law 24 (2017 Code) and should not be confused with <b>Replacement Players</b>.</span><br />
<span class="fontstyle0">This error is frequently made in conversation and correspondence and can lead to mistakes.</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span class="fontstyle0">Substitutes are sometimes called the 12th man. They can field but may not bat or bowl.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="fontstyle0">Replacement Players are sometimes called slashed players. Up to three Replacements are allowed between days in 2 day matches so long as they listed before the start of play on day one. Such replacement players may bat or bowl on the day they are named in the same manner as any other player. See Saturday Playing Regulation 7 for more.</span>
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION </b><br />
Here's some recent communication which will illustrate the problem. <br />
<br />
<b>Email from a team captain...</b><br />
"This is regarding our ongoing match against xxxxx. One of our players who played last week (xxx name redacted xxx) met with a motorbike accident yesterday and (was) seriously injured.<br />
He was supposed to play both Saturdays.Is there any chance we could substitute (sic, he means REPLACE) him with someone else?<br />
It would be great if you could help us on this."<br />
<br />
<b>Management Committee's reply....</b><br />
"Unfortunately , our current regulations do not allow for a substitute to join the team on the Second day unless the person is listed on the team sheet as a replacement .<br />
I am sorry about your player... who is injured but the same situation happens when someone is suddenly called in to work on the Saturday at the last minute .<br />
The regulation that ensures we stick to the team list has been in our competition for a number of years to stop teams cheating the system in the past .<br />
You can always provide a " substitute " as a fielder but importantly , he cannot bowl or bat as he is not on the team list ."<br />
<br />
All of which is <b>correct</b> according to the rules. <br />
<br />
But it's very hard on the team now forced to play one short.<br />
<br />
The counter argument is that unscrupulous teams will use relaxation of the Replacement rules to swap players to suit the circumstance of their match.<br />
Such as: On day one, team 1 bats and gets all out for 120. So team 2 then bats and reaches 6 for 80 by stumps day one. Between Saturdays, the last 3 players yet to come in for team 2 will be swapped for skilled batsmen so team 1's chance of first innings win is unfairly curtailed.<br />
<br />
So what are the actual issues that are at stake here?<br />
<br />
<b>How can rorting be avoided?</b> (e.g. fake an injury, replace an extra player... hmm.) <br />
<br />
I imagine in most cases of injuries there will be a medical certificate or report that will elicit a suitably official case for action.<br />
<br />
<br />
Use of such documents means that they must be produced, sighted, approved. That sort of thing can get tedious and when the procedure slackens off (as it inevitably would) the gate gets left open for rorting.<br />
<br />
Who and how should the certificate be received? Umpire? Opposition captain?
CricketOps? Management Committee? Association Secretary or President?
Why should any person being burdened with that tedious admin?<br />
<br />
What else might this be allowed for? Minor illness? (Colds and flu etc) Work commitments? (Last minute weekend rostering of some sort.) Exams? Family emergencies? Where is the line that must be drawn?<br />
<br />
<br />
Under what circumstances would the replacement be <b>disallowed</b>? (Or, asked another way, how does rorting get stopped?)<br />
<br />
Test match and first class cricket remains a replacement free zone.<br />
Soccer used to have no in game replacements up to the late 60's. A
tactic in olde time soccer was to hack the best player in the shins and get him to
limp off... then you're playing against 10. <br />
<br />
<br />
It was not so long ago that Saturday afternoon cricket used to be no replacements week to week. When I played Warehouse and Churches in the 90's that was how the game was. The introduction of slashed players (3 of 'em) actually alleviated a great deal of inconvenience.<br />
<br />
<br />
Since that time the weekend demands on people have generally become greater. Modern work in particular is not scared of invading the once sacred weekend. Other life problems (medical, family and all the rest) remain barriers to participation that probably prevents some players from joining a team or staying with it.<br />
<br />
If we introduce some relaxation it risks getting rorted and almost certainly creates a stack of work for someone.<br />
<br />
If we don't then teams and players get inconvenienced and the number of people able to participate in cricket dwindles as a result.<br />
<br />
We really need an idea here...<br />
<br />
Over to you.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i><b>ABM 4-Mar-2018</b></i></div>
<br />
<br />
Note: There was a implication in the old head trauma appendix that possibly allowed head injured players to be replaced. It was never used in the two years it was in force. That appendix has already been scheduled for replacement which eliminates that section.<br />
<br />
Note: There might be a model of a way forward in regulation 7.13 Replacement of Players Resulting from Injuries in Representatives Matches. It needs examination and understanding. As far as I am aware this rule has not been used in a very long time.<br />

<br />
<b>WHAT'S THE IDEA?</b><br />
<br />
12.30pm start for all Saturday games, all season.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
Great idea for bad light problems late in the day and getting home before 7pm after the game. <br />
<br />
Not so great for anyone transferring from junior cricket in the morning (groundskeepers, parents, junior players.)<br />
<br />
For many years QSDCA has started at 12.30pm for the first 5 or 6 weeks of the season. That's approximately from Round 1 to 5. The changeover to 1pm start is at the end of October.<br />
<br />
Some of these dates clash with junior cricket on a regular basis. How do junior cricket issues affect players in September and October?<br />
<br />
In season 2016/17 we had a 12.30pm start for a one day game which coincided with the first day/night test match at the Gabba in December.<br />
<br />
There is no corresponding early start in March. <br />
<br />
Typically there is only 1 or 2 regular Saturdays matches in March. <br />
<br />
Most QSDCA cricket played in March is finals played 10am to 5pm.<br />
<br />

Something better than cut-off time for One Dayers<b><b>CURRENT STATUS</b></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><b>QSDCA Management Committee declined to support this (May 2018). </b></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<b>ABM Update 10-Jun-2018</b></div>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
Indooroopilly DCC suggested something to address this problem last year which foundered perhaps due to incomplete understanding of the problem or the lack of an ideal solution.<br />
<br />
So let's have another go. <br />
<br />
In Saturday 35 over matches and Sunday 50 over matches (limited overs one dayers), the motivation to complete overs before the cut-off time is not big enough.<br />
<br />
If a side bowling first gets behind in over rates,
the only problem this causes is that they may get less than the full
quota of overs when they bat. If the side bowling first is being 'carted' (i.e. lots of runs being scored very quickly) then slowing things down and bowling less overs might be a tactic which advantages the side bowling first.<br />
<br />
So the solution must be to introduce a
genuine motivation (i.e. a penalty) for slow over rate in first innings. To be fair to both sides in any match such a motivation/penalty should be applied for the second innings too.<br />
<br />
Here are some ways that this could be improved:<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Run penalty - Add five runs for every uncompleted over to the score of the team
batting first (BUT in a game where the scoring rate is 7 an over this is <b>not
</b>an incentive...) (The current Super 20 regulations has a rule like this except it's 6 runs an over...)</li>
<li>Time Penalty - Allow the first batting team's innings to continue until
complete and then deduct those overs from second batting team's innings.
(BUT this seems too harsh and was rejected at 2017 AGM.)</li>
<li>Fines and Susupension Penalty - In ODI's the captain gets fined and suspended (a multistage penalty for repeat offences) (BUT this is unlikely to be accepted at Subbies cricket level.)</li>
<li>Restructure the matches - Assign fewer overs or more time. </li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Currently the 35 match allows 145 minutes to bowl 35 overs and have 1 drinks break (about 4.14 minutes per over). So change to 30 overs per side from 1pm with a 3.25pm cutoff. (BUT this is less cricket for everyone.)</li>
<li>Currently the 50 over match rules allow 195 minutes to bowl 50 overs and take 2 drinks breaks (average 3.9 minutes per over)So change Sunday matches to 200 minutes for 50 overs - start 10am, close and lunch at 1.20pm, restart 1.40pm, finish 5pm.</li>
</ul>
<ol>
</ol>
Whatever method is chosen must be easy to implement for player umpired games. (without reliable watches, say)<br />
How do we cope with the time lost for injury/ lost balls/ bad light/ rain?<br />
<br />
Any ideas out there?<br />

<b>ABM Update 10-Jun-2018</b></div>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<b>WHAT'S THE ISSUE?</b><br />
<br />
Currently we use average run rate to decide results in limited over matches curtailed by rain.<br />
<br />
Modern (Duckworth Lewis Stern) DLS apps for mobile computers are available which offer a practical way to decide such results in an attractive way.<br />
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
<br />
Historically there aren't very many results decided in this way in QSDCA, so the need is low. (Are there any figures on this?)<br />
<br />
This has been resisted in the past due to perceived complexity of DLS methods.<br />
<br />
<b>If the computers and a suitable, agreed and accepted, reliable app is available then there seems very little in the way of doing this.</b><br />
<br />
So what about the computers?<br />
What about the apps?<br />
What about the reliability and use of them?<br />
<br />
Should we roll computer scoring into this also?<br />
<br />
There is some "technofear" about app based scoring and any 'magic' software that 'eats' cricket scores and produces curious results. That is not as big a problem as the chance of easily making mistakes, I reckon.<br />

"16.3 Delayed or Interrupted Matches - Calculation of the Target Score utilising “Duckworth-Lewis Method”<br />
<br />
If, due to suspension of play (including abandonment of a match) after the start of the match, the number of overs in the innings of the team batting second has to be revised to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum 15 overs in preliminary matches and 20 overs in the final), then a revised target score (to win) should be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing.<br />
<br />
This revised target is to be calculated using the “Standard Edition” of the Duckworth-Lewis method. This will not give exactly the same answer as the 'Professional Edition' that is used in professional matches. (Use of the Professional Edition requires proprietary software which is not yet available to the general public.) However, this application will provide a good indicator of the state of play in a match, and the Standard Edition is valid in non-professional matches (or where the professional software is not available). In the rare event of a software device being unavailable or software failure is encountered, manual calculation using a calculator and a hard copy of the method can be utilised.<br />
<br />
Due to the size of the “full” explanation and the “tables” contained in the Standard Duckworth-Lewis Method, a copy is NOT included in these set of rules.<br />
<br />
There are many internet resources available to scorers & officials for the download to their PC, laptop, android tablet or iphone. of the Standard Duckworth-Lewis Method calculator, hardcopy including ‘over-by-over’ & ‘ball-by-ball’ tables.<br />

<b>COMMENTS BY ABM </b><br />
The DLS method is not well described. It seems somewhat "do what you
like". If the two team scorers each try a method they have 'discovered'
and get different answers then how is the correct result determined.<br />
<br />
This could become a nightmare... <br />
But we might get somewhere by testing some of these rules against some match case histories.QSDCA Playing Regulations Rewrite Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00558018762157991775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14124375904615456.post-31897081216669188602018-05-06T23:21:00.000+10:002018-06-26T00:51:37.035+10:0006. Adjust points for first and second innings wins<span style="font-size: medium;"><b><b><b>CURRENT STATUS</b></b><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><b> WHAT'S THE IDEA?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Even out points received for first innings and outright wins </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>i.e. instead of 4 points for a first innings win and 6 for a outright how about 5 and 5?</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
<br />
Right now teams get 4 points for a first innings win and 6 points for an outright.<br />
<br />
Presumably this is staggered so that there is some reward for pushing for a second innings result when time gets short on the last day.<br />
<br />
Late in the season teams often complain about their limited opportunity to gain points for all sorts of reasons.<br />
<br />
One I heard recently was that if a team is drawn against good sides in the last few rounds they may score 2 or 3 first innings wins and get 8 or 12 points (ignoring bonus points for the time being).<br />
<br />
But rival teams drawn against weaker sides may get 2 or 3 outright wins and score 20 or 30 points.<br />
<br />
Under the proposed change the points scored would be 10 or 15 for 2 or 3 first innings wins as opposed to 20 or 30 points for 2 or 3 outright wins.<br />
<br />
There are some wider implications of this change.<br />
<br />
This change would also affect all first innings wins. In all grades the first innings result is by far the most common. These would all score 5 points plus bonus points.<br />
<br />
First innings wins that convert to outrights are about 10% of results. Teams would continue to score 10 points plus bonus points for this result.<br />
<br />
Overturn second innings wins (team loses first innings and goes on to win second innings) are quite rare (less than 1% of results). In such cases each team would get equal points (5 each plus bonuses) That seems slightly weird to me because the game is not a draw.<br />
<br />
<b>A PROPOSAL</b><br />
<br />
<b> POINTS FOR TWO DAY MATCHES</b>10.29 Teams in all grades will be allocated the following points for two day matches.<br />
10.29.1 Outright win after leading on the first innings......... 10 points<br />
10.29.2 Outright win after tie on the first innings................ 8 points<br />

<b>WHAT'S THE ISSUE?</b><br />
<br />
The QSDCA calculation sheets (Saturday Reg 11 and Sunday Reg 15) are dauntingly complicated. A simpler one would be easier.<br />
<br />
Calculation sheets for Super 20 might also be adopted. (Right now there aren't any.)<br />

Law 24 and 25 Penalty Time<b><b>CURRENT STATUS</b></b><br />
<b><span style="color: red;">NOTICE OF MOTION ready.</span></b> <br />

<b>ABM 1-Jul-2018</b></div>
<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<br />
<b>WHAT ARE THE ISSUES?</b><br />
<br />
The new Laws of Cricket (2017 Code) have some changes in the sections about players leaving the field.<br />
<br />
Laws of Cricket 24.2, 24.3 and 25.3 are the relevant laws.<br />
<br />
Briefly there is a new concept known as "Penalty Time" which prevents fielders who are off the field during play from both bowling or batting immediately when they return.<br />
<br />
To deal with this early last season QSDCA issued a statement to patch up our playing regulations to be square with this.Here's a link to the QSDCA Penalty Time laws Statement <a href="https://tinyurl.com/y9lyuejh">https://tinyurl.com/y9lyuejh</a><br />
<br />
The statement made hastily at the start of the last season is complicated and difficult to comprehend. <b>It also has some errors. </b><br />
<br />
Also many people seem unclear on the actual regulations. (Sat 9.21 and Sunday 24)<br />
<br />
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
<br />
QSDCA cricket consists of non-professional competitions meant for people with real
lives. It is too restrictive on players to insist on this type of law
since our players are subject to traffic, family responsibility, work,
illness and other 'symptoms' of life. We do not want players, teams or
matches curtailed by this rule.<br />
<br />
<br />
The time has come to update Sat Reg 9.21 and Sunday Reg 24 formally. There is no equivalent law in Super 20 Regs. Conceivably it should be added to Super 20 Regulations. <br />
<br />
<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
This is the statement made by the Management Committee on 12-Sept-2017.<br />

Law 24.2 Fielder absent or leaving the field of play and<br />
Law 24.3 Penalty Time Not incurred. and<br />
Law 25.3 Restriction on batsman commencing an innings<br />
<br />
Playing Regulation 9.21 will apply to players late for the start of play.<br />
<br />
This playing condition will apply in a similar manner to any fielder who leaves the field during play.<br />
<br />
When
a fielder leaves the field during the course of the match, his captain
will inform the umpire or opposition captain and by doing so his rights
to continue play when he returns are not restrained.<br />
<br />
Players who leave the field will not be restricted from batting in any following innings.<br />
<br />
This statement applies to all cricket competitions managed by QSDCA in 2017/18 season.<br />
<br />
Note:
Other parts of Law 24 (2017) (namely 24.1 Substitute fielders (can now
wicketkeep with umpire's consent) and 24.4 Players returning without
permission (subject to 5 run penalty) will still apply.<br />
<br />
Note: Batsman retiring is now governed by Law 25.4 (2017 Code). It is effectively unchanged from the 2015 Code.<br />
<br />
Note: These changes and the non-adoption of new Law 42 mean that QSDCA Playing Condition 9.21.5 does not apply."</td>

Align Numbering in Super 20, Sunday 50, Saturday Regulations. <b><b>CURRENT STATUS</b></b><br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>Management Committee decided to defer this proposal to allow development of a complete Super 20 Regulations Review.</b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<b>ABM 25-Jun-2018</b> </div>
<b> </b><br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<br />
<b>WHAT'S THE IDEA?</b> <br />
<ul>
<li>This would be a first step towards integrating the 3 sets of regulations into one book.</li>
<li>Many individual regulations have a similar function in each existing set of regulations. But some have different versions of wording. Eg. Reg 1 in Super 20 v Reg 1 in Sat Reg.</li>
<li>The aim of this step is to give similar rules in each set of Regulations has the same, familiar number. e.g. <b>Fitness of Grounds </b>is
currently Reg 17 on Saturdays, Reg 24 in Super 20 and Reg 29 in Sunday
50 even though it's EXACTLY the same in all competitions.</li>
</ul>
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
<br />
To be honest this is not really just a tidying up exercise.<br />
<br />
Any rule which is common across each competition e.g most of the player protection regulations (for instance helmets, drinks breaks, junior bowlers) should not be repeated in every version of playing regulations.<br />
<br />
Several others (e.g. Player registration) do have subtle differences which might actually benefit from alignment. First we can see what's different and then change things if needed. (An example would be good here.)<br />
<br />
I made a start on this and found that it is MUCH more complex than it first appears.<br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red;"><b>QSDCA Management Committee declined to support this (June 2018). </b></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<b>ABM 25-June-2018 </b></div>
<br />
<hr align="”left”" width="”100%”" />
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
Something may need a tweak with the Team shirt regs... maybe to specify
some steps to get them approved (e.g. make it clear that clubs must
submit a prior photo/application to the Man-Com) and maybe deduct points
when players don't wear 'em... or when players wear unapproved shirts.<br />
<br />
There seems to be some casualness about following shirt regulations.<br />
<br />
One complaint this season was about red shirts in a Sunday match which were approved in a way that I don't fully understand. Without giving away the identities of the teams involved the complaint was about bright red shirts against a red ball with no sightscreens and dull daylight making the game hard to play for batsmen. But the shirts were approved.... by whom, when and how.. questions I cannot answer and I type the association minutes and file all the written correspondence.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Some teams seem to be a little slack about submitting their team shirts for Management Committee approval.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Some don't make sure all players on the field wear the shirt as a uniform. (There's often an excuse about 'he's just filling in this week".)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Some allow the odd one or two players to wear an odd shirt with big numbers or logos or a team shirt from some other team they have played with in the past.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Is the problem that teams aren't caring enough? Do they need some motivation to follow clothing and team shirt rules?<br />
<br />
So perhaps we should provide some?<br />
<br />
Will it be carrot or stick?<br />
🥕 Umpires to approve 1 team bonus point for teams with perfect clothing at matches? (This is a bit arbitrary and open to corruption.)<br />
<br />
🏑 Or 0.1 point penalty for each player in the wrong shirt? (Might cause some bad feeling.)<br />
<br />
Then what about Fourex hats, black socks, grubby trousers, fluoro coloured shoes? <br />
<br />
What if we give up and let people play in thongs, board shorts and bluey singlets? (That's worse than the grubby trousers and Fourex hats...)<br />
<br />
What exactly do we want for our cricket matches?<br />
Do we want to project some kind of traditional, pickled in aspic image of old fashioned whites and creams?<br />
Do we want to attract young people with smart looking, colourful uniforms like on TV?<br />
Do we want people to think we're a bunch of untidy slobs who don't seem to care very much?<br />
Do we want to exclude players who would otherwise not be able to play due to clothing costs?<br />
Do we want to attract derision for maniacally clinging to irrelevant, outdated clothing standards which everyone else has disregarded long ago?<br />
<br />
<br />
So here's some ideas:<br />
<ul>
<li>Make it clear that teams must wear all white shirts and trousers with white socks and mostly white shoes.</li>
<li>Introduce an umpires report for clothing standards (perhaps another question on the Umpires Spirit of Cricket report form)</li>
<li>Introduce some kind of fine/penalty/loss of points system for breaches.</li>
<li>Take action against some teams to emphasise the seriousness of this.</li>
<li>Team shirts are allowed is preapproved. ManCom requires submission of a photo/diagram prior. This will be filed (somewhere) and displayed on a team website (for reference and display) Approval will require renewal each season.</li>
<li>Teams who play in a Team shirt without valid Mancom approval will be reported and penalised. (How to do this at non-offical umpired matches?) (Sigh)</li>
<li>Define some standard Team shirts (or just list some features) which meet ManCom approval? Pictures for instance.</li>
</ul>

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>FORFEIT ISSUES</b></span><br />
<ul>
</ul>
<ol>
<li>Collect all the rules about forfeits into a single regulation, so it's easier to follow. </li>
<li>Teams conceding forfeits are subject to a financial penalty determined at the Annual General Meeting. (Currently a flat $200 for any kind of game regardless of type.)</li>
<li>Review the other costs. (Forfeiting team pays wicket fees and umpires fees.)</li>
<li>Make explicit the process for the granting of forfeits. (No forfeit is guaranteed. Management Committee retains the right to make a final decision.)</li>
<li>What conditions lead to a forfeit? (e.g. If minimum 7 players are not
present at the time for start of play... do we wait 5 minutes? or 30?
What if both teams are short of 7 players? Who gets the forfeit?)</li>
<li>Points distribution for a forfeit. (Is it maximum points scored by any other team in that round? Is there any circumstance where that is not so? So let's say so.)</li>
</ol>
<ul>
</ul>
<b>DISCUSSION</b><br />
<u><b>1. Collect all the Rules</b></u><br />
<br />
<b>Saturday Regulations </b><br />
<br />
The regulations that have relevance or mention forfeits are:<br />
<ul>
<li>MINIMUM NUMBER OF PLAYERS 9.18, 9.19</li>
<li>POINTS FOR FORFEITED MATCHES 9.22</li>
<li>POINTS FOR FORFEITS AGAINST WITHDRAWN TEAMS 9.23</li>
<li>PROVISIONS FOR TEAM WITHDRAWALS 9.24 </li>
<li>ENTERING MATCH RESULTS AFTER THE END OF THE MATCH 14.6, 14.7</li>
</ul>
These have been gathered and rewritten so they're easy to find and follow.<br />
Sat Regs 9.25 and 24.5 deal with the application of disciplinary penalties to clubs in breach of regulations. They are not considered relevant to this discussion.<br />
<br />
<b>Sunday 50 Over Regs and Super 20 Regs </b><br />
Some version of these regs are present in Sunday 50 and Super 20 regs, some have subtle variations.<br />
<ul>
<li>A
renumbered version of the proposal will replace Sunday Regs 10 and 26 and Super
20 Regs 7 and 20.2. (The numbering in Super 20 Regs will be subject to
change.) </li>
</ul>
<br />
<u><b>2. & 3. Forfeit costs</b></u> are discussed and decided at the Annual General meeting. No Playing Regulation changes are needed.<br />
<br />
<u><b>4. Explicit Process and Forfeit Conditions</b></u><br />
Forfeits seem to cause confusion especially when it comes to the rules.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'Forfeit Conditions' states the principle condition for a forfeit but an explanatory preamble and a section called 'Forfeit Caution' are meant to spell out the procedure.<br />
<br />
<br />
Forfeits come in two main shapes and sizes.<br />
<br />
Often a team will call a game off several days in advance because they know their team members will be otherwise engaged (footy, weddings, interstate trips. end of season lack of interest or some other reason they come up with).<br />
<br />
This is characterised by the call off occurring up to a week before the game begins.<br />
<br />
More occasionally there will be a team which struggles to get numbers together on a day due to traffic congestion, car breakdowns, mis-organisation, fill in players who get lost or go to the wrong ground.<br />
<br />
This is characterised by the team failing to have a minimum number of players (7) ready at time for start of play (say 1pm).<br />
<br />
Up to now Unofficially, umpires are encouraged to delay the start in such circumstances in the hope that the team short of players might have some players arrive late so that the match can begin.<br />
<br />
This often leads to opposition confusion about 'cut off' time (there isn't one) and then 'claiming a forfeit' (it's subject to ManCom approval which can take weeks). I guess there's some minor inconvenience involved also.<br />
<br />
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 />
<br />
<u><b>6. Points for a Forfeit</b></u><br />
This is unchanged.<br />
<br />
It was suggested that there may be a case for reducing the opportunity of the
non-forfeiting team to score maximum points. A delayed start can reduce
the time for play and the opportunity to score bonus points. At season's
end there is often some anxiety about this due to finals especially when some sides get to play 'weak' teams who may offer more forfeits.<br />
<br />
However...<br />
<ul>
<li>If the delay were due to weather you'd probably conclude that it was bad luck.</li>
<li>If the non-forfeiting team is playing 11 against 8 (which may
include fill-in players) then their chance of scoring runs quickly is
increased by the gaps in the field. </li>
<li>Also the non-forfeiting team will
get full bowling bonus points if they can take just 8 wickets rather than the
usual 10. An outright win can be achieved by taking just 16 wickets
rather than the usual 20.</li>
</ul>
<br />

Anthony and Mel. Fully understand QSDCA position and as umpire we will
do our best to explain the situation to the teams involved.<br />

Yet comes around Finals time and teams fighting for points, it will be inevitable that some teams will get a bit edgy.<br />

<div>
The
first problem is that some players from South Brisbane Juniors play "
Junior Cricket " that may finish at 12noon - they then find it difficult
to arrive at their appointed ground for their match , prior to 1.00pm .</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This
has occurred in a previous match with them when they played at Bracken
Ridge which was a fair distance to travel . Ultimately , as the official
umpire for the match , you should do your best to find out the reason
for the other players not having arrived in time .</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's
possible there could have been a traffic accident or a vehicle broken
down . The suggestion is that you communicate the reason ( or possible
reason ) for the delay in players arriving , with the opposition captain
, and definitely away from his players .</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You
are correct in that our regulations do not advise you of a cut-off time
of when a possible forfeit arises . The start of play is 1.00pm and
anytime from then ( should a team not have the minimum of 7 players on
the first day of a match ) a captain has the right to claim a forfeit .</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As
stated by Anthony (ABM) , the Management Committee of QSDCA prefers
that this does not happen and so it falls on the official umpire to try
to follow the steps mentioned in the first 3 lines of this email and
hopefully thereby avoid a forfeit .</div>

Hi xxxx,<br />
<br />
It's
better that the game got underway (even if it was a bit late). Forfeits
attract financial penalty for the team which concedes them (all wicket
fees, umpire fees and a fine). <br />
<br /></div>
You're right.There is no definition of cut off time for a forfeit in playing regulations.<br />
<br /></div>
In
Subbies cricket, it is normal practice that forfeits are not 'claimed'
or automatic. Forfeits are subject to confirmation by the Management
Committee, usually by a motion at a monthly meeting. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In
the case you have discussed I think if you substituted rain for team
absence as the reason for the shortened game that there would be little
argument... (i.e. bad luck, you missed out because of rain...) <br />
<br />
The
playing regulations about forfeits are likely to be considered for
review ahead of the next association Annual General Meeting in July. (I
think that grouping the separate regulations into a single number is an
obvious start.) I am keen to hear any suggestions you have or may have
heard about that may improve these rules. </div>
<br /></div>
See you at the ump's meeting.<br />

Dear Mel, Kevin and all,<br />
<br /></div>
I
have finished Day 1 of the captioned match. Not sure if QSDCA will
send another umpire for Day 2, but team lists are attached and status of
match as per below:<br />
<br /></div>
- South Brisbane won the toss and elected to bat</div>
- South Brisbane 10/86 in 40 overs</div>
- Logan City 4/111 dec in 30 overs<br />
<br /></div>
So Day 2, South Brisbane will be starting its 2nd inning.<br />
<br /></div>
There
was an incident, however. South Brisbane have only 3 players at 1pm,
and 7 players at 1:25pm when the game starts. The 6 overs lost we tried
to make up with shorten drinks and tea breaks, and extend the game
until light is not possible (to the agreement of both captains).<br />
<br /></div>
But
a question was raised that, if a team does not have 7 players to start,
is there a cut-off time that the team will need to forfeit the match?
For example, if the team can't have 7 players by 2pm, game will be
called off and award the match to the opposition?<br />
<br />
I don't think I found anything on this in the playing regulations, but if there is please let me know.<br />
<br /></div>
The
implication is, if forfeit does take place, while the winning team gets
maximum points scored by any other team in that grade for the match, it
might not be enough for them, say to get into the finals. If forfeit
does NOT take place, and say the game can only start at 2pm, that's 15
overs lost and the shorten game will limit for opportunity for a team to
have enough time to chase for outright win and bonus incentive points,
again say for getting into the finals. Either way the team that wants
to score more points will be disadvantaged by the lateness of another
team.<br />
<br /></div>
Appreciate your thoughts on the above.<br />
<br /></div>
