RE: REGIONAL CRICKET 2010
Please find attached information relating to 2010 Regional Cricket. The information is more comprehensive than previous years but if there are questions you wish to ask please just give me a call. I’d like to draw your attention to a number of specific points:
1 Cardiff & the Vale have been drawn to play in the northern zone of the new U11 competition. Back-to-back fixtures away to the two N Wales regions is fine provided they are completed by 1st August
2 Carms have been drawn to play in the northern zone of the new U14 competition. Again back-to-back fixtures away to the two N Wales regions is fine provided they are completed by 1st August.
3 In previous years confusion has existed regarding fixtures. To improve this situation please forward your confirmed fixture list to myself and your CDO/local development contact by 26th March 2010.
4 To help to avoid clashes with Welsh fixtures please consult http://www.cbw.org.uk/e/Wales_squads/squads_index.html.
Many thanks Peter Hybart U11/U14/U15 Competition

It is the responsibility of the Home (team named first in ALL the fixtures) manager to arrange the fixtures. Once a fixture list is completed games can only be postponed due to weather conditions. If a team postpones a match for any other reason they forfeit the game and 12 points are awarded to the opposition.

COMPETITION RULES 2010
Please all points read thoroughly
1) Hours of Play For non-residentialStart at 11.30am with lunch/tea break between innings. Timings can be changed by agreement of both team coaches/managersFor residential competitions: - These will be determined by the Competitions organiser but in general play will commence at 11am on the first three days and finish at 5.30pm latest. On the last day, play will commence at 10.15am and finish by 4.15pm, except for the ‘Final’ which will l start at 10.45am and finish at 5.15pm.2) Points System12 Points for a win will only be awarded in rain affected matches, where 20 overs (minimum game) have been bowled by both sides. In an abandoned match that is not subsequently rearranged and played 6 points will be awarded to each team plus any bonus points scored.3) Bonus Points A maximum of 10 bonus points are available as follows Batting bonus points (maximum of 5) – 75 runs 1 batting bonus point, 100 runs 2 batting bonus points, 125 runs 3 batting bonus points, 150 runs 4 batting bonus points, 175 runs 5 batting bonus points. Side batting second and winning is awarded 1pt for each 2 wickets intact subject to a maximum of 5 batting bonus points. Bowling bonus points (maximum of 5) -1 bowling bonus point for taking 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 wickets. In the event of teams still being equal on points (bonus points should make this a less likely occurrence), the winner shall be the team with the better bowling strike rate, determined by the total number of overs bowled (in all competition matches including those not completed) divided by the total numbers of wickets taken. 4) Match Balls A new ball must be provided for each innings of each game by the HOME team, in addition suitable spares must be available. 5) Umpires Fully qualified affiliated umpires must be appointed for all matches 6) 12th Man/ Player Sides can only bat and field eleven however the 12th player is permitted to bowl and field. 7) Loss of playing time A reduction of overs will be made for playing time interruption. In the first innings, every 5 minutes lost = one over lost for both innings. If there is rain in the second innings, overs are lost for the side batting second, at the rate of one over per 5 minutes lost. The revised winning run target will be calculated by runs scored (side batting first) divided by overs received. E.g. 180 runs from 45 overs equals run rate of 4 per over, a 30-minute interruption equals 6 overs. Target 181 to win reduced by 24 runs ( 6 overs x 4 run rate) = 157off 39 overs. If the revised target includes a fraction the figure should be rounded up to the nearest whole. If the team batting first is bowled out in less that the full quota of overs the calculation of the run rate required shall be based on the full quota of overs to which they would have been entitled and not the number of overs in which they were dismissed. Bowlers overs limitations will reduce pro rata to 20% of overs per innings. e.g. if reduced to 20 overs no bowler can bowl more than 4 overs. 8) Limited Overs Matches to be strictly limited overs: no unused overs from 1st innings to be brought into the 2nd innings 9) League position. In the event of teams being equal on points the winner shall be the team with the better bowling strike rate, determined by the total number of overs bowled (in all competition matches including those not completed) divided by the total numbers of wickets taken 10) Photographs The CBW will not permit photographs, video images or other images of Young People to be taken without the consent of the Parents/Carers and the Young Person as per ECB Welfare of Young People Policy. Permission must be sought from either the CBW in writing or the Coaches in Charge on the day of the match. 11) ECB Fast Bowling Match Directives The ECB directives will apply in regard to the maximum numbers of overs per spell, but bowlers are also restricted to no more 20% of the number of allocated overs per innings ie 40 overs – 8 overs per bowler, 50 overs – 10 overs per bowler. For the purpose of these Directives a fast bowler is defined as a bowler to whom a wicket keeper in the same age group would in normal circumstances stand back to take the ball. Having completed a spell the bowler cannot bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell have been bowled from the same end. A bowler can change ends without ending his current spell provided that he bowls the next over that he legally can from the other end. If this does not happen his spell is deemed to be concluded. If play is interrupted, for any reason, for less than 40 minutes any spell in progress at the time of the interruption can be continued after the interruption up to the maximum number of overs per spell for the appropriate age group. If the spell is not continued after the interruption the bowler cannot bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell before the interruption have been bowled from the same end. If the interruption is of 40 minutes or more, whether scheduled or not, the bowler can commence a new spell immediately. Once a bowler covered by these Directives has bowled in a match he cannot exceed the maximum number overs per day for his age group even if he subsequently bowls spin. He can exceed the maximum overs per spell if bowling spin, but cannot then revert to bowling fast until an equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell have been bowled from the same end. If he bowls spin without exceeding the maximum number of overs in a spell the maximum will apply as soon as he reverts to bowling fast. Captains, Team Managers and Umpires are asked to ensure that these Directives are followed at all times. NB For guidance it is recommended that in any 7 day period a fast bowler should not bowl more than 4 days in that period and for a maximum of 2 days in a row, eg in a tournament/festival lasting 4 days a fast bolwer may bowl on day 1 and 2, not bowl on day 3 , bowl on day 4. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
