4 INTRODUCTION It is my pleasure to once again introduce the 2011 Handbook, having been re-elected as league secretary at the AGM earlier this year. Our league continues to thrive and, we expect, it will continue to do so well into the future. The signs remain good. However, as always, this can only happen, if people make it happen. We are continuing to build up a good number of people, who are willing and able to help to make the league function. It is always good to see new people coming forward. The more there are of us, the easier it will be for us all, so please think about helping out: don t just wait until the next time that we are asking for greater involvement. Last season was very successful, with better weather, and a good and willing spirit, all competitions were completed, and a great deal of excellent cricket was played. Many thanks to you all, and congratulations to everyone who took part. We have structured our leagues this year, so as to further enhance the likelihood of successful completion, by attempting to reduce fixture congestion and overload for the young players, for whom we are responsible. This may mean fewer fixtures for some, but hopefully there will be an overall benefit. Please let us know what you think, as the season progresses. What we also need is continued commitment from all clubs in helping our community to function better, for the benefit of us all. Please read the rules again, to refresh your memory. Each year we have a few sensitive matters with which to contend, Last year, we had some issues regarding player eligibility. To help with this, a new rule was passed at this year s, with a large majority, which states: No player shall play for more than one club in the competitions managed by the Nottingham Youth Cricket League, irrespective of whether the relevant teams are in different leagues or in different age divisions.. There is an exception for girls in certain circumstances. Please read Rule 17 of the main rules. Another recurring issue is the belief that there is no LBW rule in pairs cricket. There is. We advise that you use your judgement in its application but our rules have been amended so that they clearly state that: All games shall be played in accordance with the official Laws of Cricket, including the LBW rule, appropriately interpreted, except to the extent they are varied as follows:, which we hope will avoid any onfield issues. Please note that we now expect all clubs to use the play-cricket web site for result submission. It is not yet a condition of league membership but we expect that it will become so before too long. Please contact Paul Garton, if you need advice. If you need scoresheets for pairs matches, please download them from the league website at Have a very good season. Let us hope that this excellent early Spring weather continues until September. Best wishes, on behalf of the league committee, Rob Kirkwood, April 2011.

[Please note that the u-13 and u-15 county/national cup competitions are run completely independently] 6. Teams. Each club may enter a single team in each age division, except in those competitions where pairs cricket is played, where a club may enter two teams, providing each team has a completely separate squad. 7.

In the event of a tied match, this becomes the responsibility of the home team 13. The Management Committee will arrange the initial fixture list for each season. If a fixture is rearranged and advised to the Divisional Secretary before 25th April then the new fixture date will be regarded as the original.

35 LEAGUE RULES (cont d) 14. Should a fixture rearranged after 25th April fail to be played for whatever reason, the team originally cancelling the fixture will forfeit the points, except when both teams confirm that the failure to play is for wholly weather-related reasons, in which case the points shall be shared. The relevant divisional secretary must be informed of all cancellations and rearrangements. 15. If a game is cancelled within 72 hours of its scheduled start, for reasons other than the weather, the match will be automatically forfeit by the team cancelling it, unless it is rearranged with the consent of the opposition. 16.

The relevant Divisional Secretary or, if necessary, the full Management Committee will decide all disputes. 17. Player Qualification. No player shall play for more than one club in the competitions managed by the Nottingham Youth Cricket League, irrespective of whether the relevant teams are in different leagues or in different age divisions. The only permitted exception to this rule is for girls who are members of clubs without a team in the NYCL Girls League. A breach of this rule may result in the deduction of points, or, in the case of cup competitions, disqualification. A permanent transfer is permitted mid-season, notified in writing and signed as agreed by both clubs and the NYCL Committee. 18. The England & Wales Cricket Board strongly recommends that all clubs with junior and youth members should appoint a Child Welfare Officer.
