4 PART A - EXPLANATORY NOTES 1. LAWS OF CRICKET 1.1 As stated at Rule 27 all matches are to be played in accordance with the Laws of Cricket as recognised by the Australian Cricket Board except insofar as they are altered by these Competition Rules. 1.2 The 5 run penalties introduced under the 2000 Code of the Laws of Cricket for unfair play are specifically excluded from CC&SCA competition under Competition Rule 26. This decision was made by the Association on the basis that neutral umpires are not generally available in CC&SCA matches. Sledging 1.3 While sledging will not attract a 5 run penalty, it is an offence consistent with Laws 42.4, 42.5 and No Balls (Competition Rule 19) 1.4 We DO NOT play the One-Day International version of the no ball rule. 1.5 The Association has varied the fast, short-pitched bowling ('bouncer') rule (see Competition Rule 30). 1.6 For the avoidance of doubt, a legal short-pitched ball is any delivery, which, after pitching, passes or would have passed over the shoulder and below the top of the head of the striker standing upright at the crease. 1.7 The Association has amended the high, full-pitched ('beam-ball') rule to disregard the pace of the bowler. This means that any full-pitched delivery over the waist of the batsman standing upright at the crease is a no ball. (See Competition Rule 30) Limitation of On Side Fielders 1.8 The limitation of on side fielders applies only in respect of fielders behind square leg. (See Law 41.5.) Wides 1.9 Wides are deliveries (other than no balls) that the batsman cannot reach from a normal batting stance. A ball is not a wide if the batsman has made contact with it. One run is scored for a wide (unless the batsmen are able to run more than one, or the ball goes to the boundary) and it should be recorded against the bowler as a circled dot and an extra ball must be bowled. The wide rules used in International One-Day Cricket DO NOT APPLY to CC&SCA cricket. Ties CCSCA Competition Rules Sep 14 4
5 1.10 A tie is a match in which a completed game ends with both sides on the same total score, irrespective of the number wickets conceded by either side. Other Experimental Laws 1.11 There will be other experimental laws in place from time to time, which you will need to be aware of. The Association Executive will provide advice in regard to these and this advice should be kept with this Handbook. 2. UMPIRING 2.1 Except where the Association Executive has appointed official umpires (which will usually only occur during finals) the batting team must arrange two umpires, both of whom MUST know the rules of cricket and the umpiring signals. Unfortunately, there continues to be many times when the batting side provides umpires who do not know the rules (be that of cricket or as amended by this Association's Competition Rules). The captain of the batting side is responsible for ensuring that the umpires know what they are doing. This Handbook can help. Encourage young and inexperienced or new players to read it! Replacement Of Umpires 2.2 Notwithstanding this advice, inevitably some decisions are going to cause dissent. It is up to both captains to ensure that their teams play the game in the proper spirit. Captains should note Rule The decision to replace an umpire is between the 2 captains and no other player is to be involved. The player being replaced is deemed the umpire until the players are ready to continue play, any abuse or contrary behaviour towards the player being replaced may incur suspensions. Finals Umpires 2.4 Clubs not participating in finals may be required by the Association Executive to provide umpires for finals matches. 2.5 Such umpires will be paid (through their club) by the Association for these services. 2.6 Clubs which fail to provide umpires or whose umpires fail to perform the duties required, may be fined an amount equivalent to the umpiring fees for that game. 3. SCORING 3.1 The batting team will generally be required to keep score in both team's scorebooks. There have, at times, been complaints about the quality of scoring. Sloppy scoring makes completing result sheets difficult, makes maintaining statistics almost impossible and causes controversy in tight matches. CCSCA Competition Rules Sep 14 5
6 3.2 Clubs should remember that in disputed results, where the scores are close, the Disputes Committee will give some weight to the quality (or lack of quality) of the scoring. 3.3 Captains should note Rules 8 and 40 in respect of signing scorebooks and the conditions under which they may refuse to do so. 4. DISPUTES 4.1 The Dispute procedures are found in the By-laws. 4.2 The Disputes provisions provide for a right of appeal. This right of appeal is subject to a Club having the written support (this includes ) of at least two other Association Clubs. The Executive suggests that all Clubs give genuine consideration to supporting a Club wishing to make an appeal. 4.3 Captains may also like to make comments regarding the conduct of games, players or umpires (or even regarding pitches and grounds) when they submit their score sheets. 4.4 We draw your attention to the rules regarding alcohol and smoking, Rule GAME STARTING TIMES 5.1 It has been noted that some sides in the past have been notorious for starting late. Both teams are responsible for ensuring the match starts on time. Kits should be available at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start of play so that the stumps and flags are set up prior to starting time. It is the responsibility of the "home" team to provide the stumps, bails and flags. However, this does not relieve the "away" team of any responsibility, especially in the absence of the home team's equipment. Captains should be aware of Rule 26.2, which allows for the Association Disputes Committee to dock competition points for late starts. 5.2 There is provision for Clubs to claim a forfeit win in the event of the opposition not being ready to play by a certain time. Captains should be aware of: (a) Rule 25 regarding forfeits; and Rule 37 regarding the absence of players at the start of play. 5.3 Admittedly, we are here to play cricket and not to make life difficult for Clubs and players, but late starts can create problems in terms of light, particularly where a game is close and must go the full length of the available overs. Time Wasting 5.4 To ensure the game can finish by the either 6.00pm or 6.30pm as the case requires, teams should not waste time, either in commencing the game or during the game. Captains are reminded of Laws 42.9 (Time wasting by the fielding side) and (Batsman wasting time). It is the CCSCA Competition Rules Sep 14 6
7 responsibility of both captains and the players of both teams to ensure that time is not wasted so that the game can be played in the proper spirit. 6. RESULTS FORMS 6.1 Captains are to ensure that the Result Sheet is submitted through the association website by the end of business on the Wednesday following the game. The association has developed our own scorebook that incorporates the result sheet. Competition points are awarded by the Records Secretary subject to: (a) each team lodging their separate match results in accordance with Rule 18 by the time specified; and the forms being completed in full and duly signed as to their correctness. Please see rules 18, 26 and There will be no provisions made to post in scoresheets and no requirement to fax through unless requested by the Records Secretary. 6.3 When a team changes its batting order in the course of a match, Captains should ensure that the correct batting number is written against the player(s) names whose positions have been changed. 6.4 The Association directed the Records Secretary at the August 2007 AGM to hide the individual statistics on Results Vault some 5 games prior to the end of the season in order to maintain interest in Association trophy presentations. 7. COLTS SIDES 7.1 Where clubs field colts sides and where grading is a factor, a colts side is defined as a team with at least 7 players under 21 years of age. A player will meet this requirement if they have not turned 21 and will not turn 21 during the course of the season. 8. REGISTRATIONS 8.1 Clubs are required to register players with the Association as per Rule 19. Lists of registered players are to be entered into the CC&SCA website prior to the season launch and are to include players' names (including full first and second name), address, contact number and address. 8.2 After the season launch when a player who was not on the original list for the season first plays with a Club those details are to be provided with the score sheets and be entered into the CC&SCA website from their first game. CCSCA Competition Rules Sep 14 7
8 8.3 It is the Clubs responsibility to advise the Record Secretary if new players for their Club have played with other Clubs in the Association or ACTCA Association in the past. This will help us to keep our records accurate. 8.4 Subject to Rule 20, when Clubs field more than one side, players may move between the sides. 9. DECLARATION OF TEAMS 9.1 Clubs are reminded that under Law of Cricket 1, sub Rule 1 that teams must be declared before the start of play. To ensure that this Law is complied with each captain is to initial the opposition team on the left hand side of the batting order in the scorebook. If the scoresheets that are submitted to the Records Secretary are not initialled this may lead to the loss of competition points. 9.2 Scope exists for teams to be changed under Law 1.2 and our own Rule 37. Captains are encouraged to provide some leeway to opponents who do not have the full complement of players present in allowing them to locate the number of players necessary to have a full side. 9.3 The opposing captain must initial any changes made to a team that are agreed. 9.4 If a player has already participated in a game as a bowler, batsman or wicket keeper, that player may only be replaced by a 12th man. 10. BALLS 10.1 All Clubs are encouraged to purchase balls stamped with the CC&SCA logo on them to maximize Association return from our sponsorship with Kookaburra. CCSCA Competition Rules Sep 14 8

NB: Clubs are advised to keep their own records in regards to statistics and registrations. The Association has a computer database for its records, but human error can intervene and score sheets can get lost. It will also help if the provisions of Rule 22 - Evidence of Player Qualification have to be satisfied. 15.

LENGTH OF INNINGS 35.1 All games are to have 45 over innings. There are to be no reduction in overs subject to Rule 34.1 and Rule In each innings the scorers shall notify the umpires by clear signal of the end of the 35th and 40th overs. The umpires shall ensure that the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen are aware that these overs have been reached Each bowler used by the fielding side is allowed a maximum of 9 overs in an innings Matches shall end as soon as a first innings result is obtained. That is, by the dismissal of the second batting side short of the total of the first batting side or once the total of the second batting side exceeds that of the first batting side Matches will otherwise be determined by a comparison of the number of runs scored in each innings, irrespective of the number of wickets lost (unless the game is abandoned due to weather or light) Once the innings of the team batting first ends (see Rule 34) and the innings of the team batting second is delayed and/or interrupted by more than 60 minutes in aggregate due to weather conditions and a result is not obtainable by the scheduled finishing time, the match shall thereupon end and the match shall be drawn. CCSCA Competition Rules Sep 14 19
20 35.7 Where the captains cannot agree that a result is obtainable by the scheduled finish time then the game will resume. If a result has not been achieved by the scheduled finish time the match shall thereupon end and the match shall be drawn. 36. INCOMPLETE OVER 36.1 Where a bowler commences an over beyond his maximum, that bowler shall cease bowling and another member of the fielding side (who has not bowled the maximum number of overs) shall complete the over. The player completing the over is still not permitted to bowl more than the maximum allocation. 37. ABSENCE OF PLAYERS AT THE START OF PLAY 37.1 Consistent with Law 1.2, a captain may seek to amend his playing list after the toss and the opposing captain has the discretion to accept the change. Where that team will play short if the list is unamended, the opposing captain must accept the change If players, or players who are not named, arrive to participate, they may only do so as specified in Rules 37.3 or 37.4, as the case applies Where a player takes the field after the commencement of play, he may not bowl until he has spent as much time on the field as he missed If a player does not arrive before the conclusion of the innings of the first batting side, that player: (a) may only participate in the match and must be recorded as a 12th man; and must be removed from the scoresheet if he does not arrive at all. 38. DRINKS 38.1 Drinks shall be taken, on or off the field, once only in each innings at the end of the 23rd over unless: (a) a wicket falls during the 23rd over, in which case, drinks shall be taken immediately; or (i) (ii) the captains agree to take two (2) drinks breaks only during each innings, in which case: drinks shall be taken at the completion of the 15th and 30thovers; or immediately if a wicket falls during the 15th or 30thovers Consistent with Law 15.9(a), drinks breaks should only no more than five (5) minutes in duration. 39. PLAYERS LEAVING THE FIELD 39.1 Consistent with Laws 2.5 and 2.6, if a player fails to take the field with his side at the start of a match or at any later time, or takes a break from the field during a session of play: (a) the umpire shall be informed of the reason for his absence; CCSCA Competition Rules Sep 14 20
21 he shall not thereafter come on to the field during a session of play without the consent of the umpire and the umpire shall give consent as soon as is practicable; (c) if he is absent for 15 minutes or longer, he shall not be permitted to bowl thereafter, subject to 39.1(d) below, until he has been on the field for at least that length of playing time for which he was absent; (d) the time lost for an unscheduled break in play shall be counted as time on the field for any fielder who comes on to the field at the resumption of play. 40. DUTIES OF CAPTAINS 40.1 Prior to the commencement of player, the captains of the competing teams shall: (a) toss the coin to determine which side bats first; (d) confirm starting time and the number of overs to be bowled in the event of a delay; (c) confirm the opposition understands the wide and no ball rules; and inspect the opposing team's cricket ball Upon the completion of each innings, the captains of the competing teams shall ensure that the scores in the respective books agree and sign the opposition scorebook in accordance with Rule A captain may refuse to sign the opposing team's scorebook when: (a) the result is in dispute; or the captain believes that there is some impropriety in the scoring Captains are responsible for ensuring the match is played in the spirit of the game and its laws, as such, may be held responsible for the conduct of their players. 41. GROUND, WEATHER AND LIGHT Ground 41.1 The fitness of the pitch and ground for play shall be decided by the captains before the commencement of play. Play shall not commence until both captains agree that the pitch and ground are fit for play. If there is no agreement within two hours of the scheduled starting time then the match shall be abandoned. Where official umpires are present and the captains disagree, the umpires shall decide and the decision shall rest with them for the remainder of that day. Weather 41.2 The fitness of the weather (other than light) for play shall be decided by the captains. Where official umpires are present and the captains disagree, the umpires shall decide and the decision shall rest with them for the remainder of play. Light 41.3 The fitness of the light for play shall be decided by the captains (during actual play the batsmen or the acting umpires at the wicket may deputise for their captain). If the captains disagree, CCSCA Competition Rules Sep 14 21
22 the prevailing situation will continue until the captains agree to alter it. Captains must have regard for player safety in determining the suitability of the light. Where official umpires are present and the captains disagree, either captain may appeal to the umpires and the decision will rest with them for the remainder of that day. Notes for Determining When Play Should Continue In determining whether the ground or weather is unfit for play, the captains (or official umpires where present) need to consider whether it has become so wet or slippery as to deprive the bowlers of a reasonable foothold or the capacity to control the ball, the fieldsmen of the power of free movement, or the batsmen the ability to safely play their strokes or to run between the wickets. If these indicators are present, then it has become unsafe. Play should not be suspended merely because the pitch, grass and the ball are wet, but where it has become unsafe. Play should not be suspended merely because bowlers have to adjust their run up to suit conditions. Play can start and continue in rain as long as doing so would not contravene Rule 41 or the advice of these notes. Rain in itself does not automatically disrupt a game or make a ground unplayable (the Laws of Cricket do not say that rain prevents a game from starting or continuing), but if heavy or consistent, can lead to play becoming unsafe. Should play not commence or be disrupted, then conditions will need to improve before play can recommence. If the rain does not stop, then it is unlikely the conditions have improved. Lightning 41.4 If thunder follows a lightning flash by thirty seconds or less, people in the open are at risk of being struck by lightning. In this circumstance, or where there has been a thunderclap in close proximity to the ground but no lightning was sighted, play must cease immediately. All players and umpires must leave the field immediately and must not return to the field until 30 minutes after the last lightning flash. Players and umpires should seek safe places of shelter, avoiding sheltering under trees or lying on the ground. (This is based on the premise that, in 30 seconds, the sound travels about 10km, so, in these circumstances, the lightning is less than 10km away.) 42. ABSENCE OR REPLACEMENT OF AN UMPIRE 42.1 If necessary, the fielding captain may ask the opposing captain to replace an umpire and the captain of the batting side is compelled to do so For the purposes of rules 31 (Dead Ball), 33 (Time Keeping), 35.7 (Length Of Innings), 39 (Players Leaving The Field) and 41 (Ground, Weather And Light), if only one official umpire is present, 'umpires' shall be taken to refer to the official umpire alone, but he may confer with the other person acting as an umpire for the time being if he desires. SECTION 5 - MATCHES TO BE REDUCED UNDER SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES 43. PRE-DAYLIGHT SAVING MATCHES 43.1 Matches played during any pre-daylight saving rounds at the start of the season will be played consistent with all other rules laid out in this handbook except as amended here CCSCA Competition Rules Sep 14 22
23 43.2 Matches will be played as 40 over innings There will be a change of innings at 3.00pm followed by an interval of a maximum of 20 minutes duration, with play to finish at 6.00pm In each innings the scorers shall notify the umpires by clear signal of the end of the 30th and 35th overs. The umpires shall ensure that the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen are aware that these overs have been reached Each bowler used by the fielding side is allowed a maximum of 8 overs in an innings. 44. MATCHES AFFECTED BY RAIN 44.1 Matches where rain has affected play (i.e. delayed commencement of play or affected the condition of the pitch or field) or interrupted play, where the captains agree to reduce the number of overs to be bowled to no less than 30 in each innings The number of overs may only be reduced where an interruption occurs prior to the start of play or during the innings of the first batting side. The number of overs cannot be reduced once the first batting team has completed its innings Notwithstanding sub-rule 44.1, each side must have the opportunity to bat for the same number of overs. If the innings of the first batting team is interrupted near its completion (i.e. after 35 overs in a 45 over game), then the innings of the second batting team should only proceed if play is resumed in time for that team to face the same number of overs Each bowler used by the fielding team is allowed a maximum number of overs, to be determined according to the adjusted number of overs of the innings as follows: (a) for matches where the innings number of overs is a derivative of 5 (i.e. 30, 35, 40), then a bowler is allowed a maximum of the total number of overs divided by 5 (i.e. 8 overs in a 40 over game, etc); for matches of 43 OR 44 overs, three bowlers are allowed a maximum of 9 overs, with other bowlers less than 9; (c) for matches of 41 OR 42 overs, two bowlers are allowed a maximum of 9 overs, with other bowlers less than 9; (d) for matches of 38 OR 39 overs, three bowlers are allowed a maximum of 8 overs, with other bowlers less than 8; (e) for matches of 36 OR 37 overs, two bowlers are allowed a maximum of 8 overs, with other bowlers less than 8; (f) for matches of 33 OR 34 overs, three bowlers are allowed a maximum of 7 overs, with other bowlers less than 7; (g) for matches of 31 OR 32 overs, two bowlers are allowed a maximum of 7 overs, with other bowlers less than 7. CCSCA Competition Rules Sep 14 23
24 44.5 So as to not disadvantage the team bowling second, if the number of overs in a match are reduced after the team bowling first has had bowlers who have bowled more than the maximum overs permitted by Rules 44.4(a) to 44.4(g) inclusive, the team bowling second is permitted to have an equal amount of players bowl the same amount of overs as the team bowling first. E.g. In a match reduced to 30 overs, the team bowling first had bowlers who bowled 9, 9, 5 and 5 overs. Although Rule 44.4(g) only permits a maximum of 7 overs, two bowlers are permitted to bowl 9 each. SECTION 6 - MISCELLANEAOUS 45. DRESS 45.1 Unless approval for a team uniform (coloured clothing) has been granted by the Association Executive, then all clothing, shirts, trousers, shorts, and preferably, socks, footwear and jumpers (pullover's) shall be white or cream. Where the Association Executive has granted approval to use a team uniform, then the whole team is to dress in the nominated uniform for matches. The approval of all coloured uniforms is at the discretion of the Association Executive Cricket caps, cricket helmets or white hats are preferred headwear, although other "sports" hats (i.e. baseball caps and other peaked caps) are also acceptable Where a team has a player or a number of players who are not regular players, then some discretion may be permitted in regard to sub-rules 45.1 and Notwithstanding sub-rule 45.3, the captain of the batting team, or the batsman, may require any fieldsmen fielding in front of the wicket who do not comply with sub-rules 45.1 and 45.2 to be moved to a position where they will not distract the batsman Notwithstanding sub-rule 45.3, the captain of the batting team, or the batsman, may require the bowler to remove any item of clothing that does not comply with sub-rules 45.1 and 45.2 or that may be distracting The minimum dress of a player is a pair of shorts, a t-shirt or short sleeve shirt and rubber soled cricket shoes, runners/joggers or cross-trainers If any players fail to comply with this Rule 45, the opposing captain may report the noncompliance for misconduct to the Association Executive in accordance with Rule 23, in which case, Rule 26.3 may apply. 46. CANCELLATION OF MATCH AND CHANGE OF VENUE 46.1 The Association Executive shall decide if matches are to be cancelled or venues changed When possible, cancellations and changes will be announced on Saturday morning over radio and in The Canberra Times Clubs providing venues shall notify the Secretaries of Clubs using that venue if the ground is unplayable. 47. GENERAL 47.1 Where official umpires are present, the umpires will be the sole judges of fair and unfair play on the field. CCSCA Competition Rules Sep 14 24
