Fixtures

DAYS & TIMES

Saturday 29 March 2003 & Sunday 30 March 2003 - 1.15 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. both days.

One-Day Grades ~ Saturday 29 March 2003 - 1.00 p.m. to 6.15 p.m.

OVERS TO BE BOWLED

The full 75 overs must be bowled by both teams, unless one team is dismissed or declares, even if the 75 overs are not bowled by 6.00 p.m.
A penalty will be imposed on teams that do not bowl 75 overs by 6.00 p.m., or the equivalent of a day's play and umpires may impose cautions on team captains who deliberately slow down play. The penalty will be $10.00 for every over of the 75 overs not bowled in time.
The same penalty applies in One-Day Grades, except that it relates to 40 overs.

QUALIFICATIONS

6.2.1 To be eligible to play in a finals match, a player must have played in at least four (4) matches with the same Club in that grade or lower during the season. However, in one day grades six (6) matches with the same Club in that grade or lower are required to qualify for a final.

6.2.2 A player shall be eligible to play in a lower grade finals match provided that the lower grade team is the next lowest within his Club structure to the grade for which he is eligible, and the higher grade team for which the player is eligible is also playing in a finals match fixtured for the same date. Such player, having played in a lower grade finals match, shall be eligible to play in a further finals match in that lower grade even if the higher grade team(s) for which he is eligible is not playing in a finals match fixtured for the same date.

6.2.3 Notwithstanding By-Law 6.2.2, a player, having played in a finals match in any grade shall not be eligible to play in a further finals match in any lower grade if the team for which he played is defeated. This By-Law shall not apply to a player who is eligible under By-Law 6.2.1 to play in a lower grade. It should be noted that the above By-Laws are the only rules relating to player qualifications for finals matches. It is irrelevant how many runs the player has scored or wickets he has taken, or where he has played in the last 3 matches - he must have played at least 4 matches with the same Club in that grade or lower to play in a finals match. In the one day grade must have played at least 6 matches with the same Club in that grade or lower to play in a finals match.
Also, any approval a player has been given by the Transfers Committee to play in a lower grade in the last 3 qualifying matches does not carry over into finals matches.

UMPIRES

There will be two Association umpires officiating in all grand final matches.

Each umpire will be paid by the Association for both Saturday and Sunday.

HOME TEAMS

The team finishing in the higher position on the Points Table shall position the flags and telephone scores to Paul Lohmann on both Saturday and Sunday.
Scores must be phoned to 9375 3007 or faxed to 9375 3004 by 6.45 p.m. both days.

MATCH RESULT

If a first innings decision has not been reached or the scores are tied on the first innings, the team finishing in the higher position at the completion of the qualifying matches shall be declared the winner.

MATCH FORMS

Score Sheets and Captains' Assessment of Umpires Forms must be completed and submitted by 6.00 p.m. Wednesday after the match, as usual.

HOME GROUNDS

Clubs whose home grounds are being used in finals matches must ensure that creases and the boundary line at their ground are clearly marked, to be repainted if necessary, and that Clubroom and toilet facilities are unlocked and available for use by the competing teams.
