FOREWORD FROM ACA PRESIDENT
Dear friends and fellow cricket lovers,
Hopefully you all are looking forward to more successful and entertaining season
of cricket. All rule changes brought in for the new season should make it more
interesting and challenging this year.
We began our last season with issues of dwindling number of cricketers in our
region, lack of facilities, officials and coaches for cricket and imaginary relation
with Cricket Scotland (CS). As always weather played its part in disrupting the
season.
However as with our weather, there is always silver lining and rainbow after the
rains, similarly we had very positive appointments at CS. Tony Brian, Chairman of
CS and Malcolm Cannon, CEO of CS. Tony promised more engagement with ACA
and kept his promise by taking few trips to Aberdeen to meet us.
Previously we had to lobby hard to get our message pass on to CS. We had to be
at mercy of regional associations or some lobbying members to get feedback on
our challenges and requirements from CS.
ACA is very unique as compare to other cricket associations in Scotland having
vastly spread geographical area for managing amateur cricket. We have our
unique set of issues and prospects and until now we had our ingenious ways to
deal with it.
However, all our positive engagements and discussions with Tony has resulted in
more visibility of ACA, its challenges, opportunities and its potential for future of
cricket in Scotland. We can proudly say under new governance structures of CS
we have opportunity, along with other 4 regional associations, to work closely with
CS for welfare of cricket and its development.
On our part we shall be striving to be constructive stakeholder on our own instead
of expecting to form lobby for influencing our role in CS.
For ACA we managed to establish Aberdeenshire Association of Cricket Officials
(AAOCO) the umpiring and cricket official’s body. I would like to congratulate
Blair, Amol and Veera for smooth functioning of AAOCO for season of 2015, and
personal thanks to all volunteers who did umpiring for AAOCO last year.
I would like to thank our sponsors HPR UK and Shree Bheema’s for partnering
with us and hope to continue our partnership for coming years.
Special thanks for Ellon Cricket Club, Methlick Cricket Club and Cults-Artisans / St.
Ronald Cricket Club for hosting cup finals last year and Banchory Cricket Club for
stepping up when ACA was in challenging situation with regards to grounds and
pitches and hope we keep this arrangement going on in the future.

I would like to congratulate Aqeel and Aberdeen Evening Cricket League (AECL)
management for conducting successful evening league season with support from
there sponsors Lahore Karahi.
My hearty congratulations to Somu and Aberdeen Indoor Cricket Association
(AICA) management for successfully conducting inaugural Aberdeen Indoor
Premier League (AIPL) with support from there sponsors Kaaya.
Both leagues did excellent job to give opportunities to cricketers who cannot
commit to whole day cricket and converting them by encouraging trying out
longer format played under ACA.
I would like all of us to take inspiration from Liam for the way he extended cricket
to juniors in his community and building on its success.
Above 3 cases, though not directly under ACA, are perfect example of getting out
of our comfort zone to engage with community and local sponsors and make them
part of sustainable cricketing initiative, something heartily discussed over last
year between ACA and CS.
For upcoming year the focus is to work closely with CS and City Council for more
and better facilities for cricket and encourage members to take up umpiring and
coaching courses for overall development of standard of cricket.
My stretch target is to have home ground of ACA and with all good efforts of
Councillor Malik and Andy Win, we have managed to open dialogue with City
Council for use and development of Stewart Park.
I have always enjoyed my tutoring sessions from the past generation, likes of
Stuart Clark, Jim Stephen, Ean Mackie, Sid, Doug, Ian Sutherland and others for
safeguarding interests of Grades.
However over the period of last year I had numerous interaction with different
members of upcoming generation, likes of Michael, Cory, Fraser from Fraserburgh,
Chris, White bros from Ellon, Steve, Stuart from Methlick, Kieran, Aqeel, Andy
Win, Somu, Amol, Noby, John Varghese and list goes on. I found out that playing
today’s game, they are better prepared and more resourceful to face today’s
challenges.
I will continue to interact with these 2 diverse set of ideologies to extract its
potential for better future of our Cricket.
Till yester years all our conflicts and challenges were due to our diversity, however
tomorrow all our solutions and opportunities will be due to this diversity. Let us
stand united and deliver our karma.
Thank you all and hope you enjoy season of 2016

Committee shall be exempt from the requirement that they
be proposed formally by three Clubs.
11. Registration
All players must be registered with the Association for
the current season prior to playing in any fixture
under the auspices of the Association. The
mechanisms by which players are registered shall be
subject to approval by the Executive at the Spring
Meeting prior to the start of each season and shall
include the legal family/surname, preferred forename
and address of each registered player. No professional,
Page 22
that is any person who has received payment in cash or kind
as an inducement to, or to facilitate, her/his playing cricket,
and/or who has appeared in First Class Cricket or a List A
One Day International, in each case in either the current or
the two preceding calendar years, as evidenced by the
Association of Cricket Statisticians Yearbook, or Overseas
Amateur registered with the Cricket Scotland League or any
of its recognised Feeder Leagues shall take part in any of the
competitions. Any team playing an unqualified player, shall,
on protest, be adjudged to have lost the match.
The names under which players are identified in any official
scoring record must be those under which they have been
registered with the Association for the purpose of this Rule.
12. Player Eligibility
In any game, no team may field any player who has not
been ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area for
the 183 days (six months) prior to the match concerned.
This restriction does not apply to:
(a) students registered on a full-time course of education
in Scotland
(b) individuals in full-time employment in Scotland for
which a Work Permit is required and has been granted
(c) players eligible to represent Scotland, but abroad
temporarily
(d) the spouse, civil partner or dependent relative of any
of (a) to (c) above.
Consideration may be given by the Committee to waive this
rule, but only in “exceptional circumstances”.
13. Players
A player may be registered at any time for one club only;
but – if they have not played in the Grades in the season
then current – may cancel and transfer their registration at
any time, provided that they have no financial commitments
Page 23
outstanding to their previous club. However, a player may
only play for one club in Association competitions in any one
season with the exceptions that :(a) In League competitions only, a lower Grade player may
play two trial matches for a higher Grade Club
provided s/he has the permission from her/his Club
and that the Association Secretary has been previously
notified. No Club will be allowed to field more than two
triallists in any one game. Before s/he may play a third
time, s/he must be registered as per Rule 10 and
cease to belong to the lower Club. Clubs may not field
trial players in any cup games. No triallists may play in
league games once the permitted transfer period for
players between clubs under Rule 13 (c) has expired.
Any team contravening this Rule shall, on
protest, be adjudged to have lost the match.
(b) If, during the season, a Club withdraws from all
Association fixtures, a player who had been registered
with that Club may re-register for any Grade Club, but
for whom s/he may not play in Cup-tie Competitions if
s/he has already done so with her/his previous Club. If
during a season, a Club withdraws its second or
third eleven from all Association fixtures then,
with the consent of that Club, players may be
released to play for another Club in a lower
Grade than their registered club’s senior grade
eleven, provided that both lending and borrowing
clubs have scheduled Association fixtures on the
date concerned, and that both clubs notify the
Association Secretary before any such
arrangement is activated.
(c) If for any reason during a season a player wishes to
change Clubs s/he may be allowed to do so provided
s/he has permission from the Management Committee
after having forwarded written statements to them
from both Clubs explaining the reasons why; provided
no more than six weeks have elapsed from the
scheduled start of the season; and provided also that
Page 24
the previous club has confirmed in writing that
s/he has settled all debits to her/his previous Club and
returned all property of that Club. The player in
question has also to pay to the Association a £25 fee,
and this has to be paid and receipted before s/he can
play for the new Club.
(d) Where a Club’s first team within the Grades is that
club’s recognised Third Eleven, no player over the age
of 21 on 1st September of the previous season who in
the current season has played in more than two games
for the Club’s recognised First Eleven shall thereafter
be allowed to play in any fixture under the aegis of the
Association for the remainder of that season.
(e) In junior age-group competitions, a player may play
for a team run by a Club or Clubs other than that for
which s/he plays at senior level, provided that s/he
plays for only one such team in any competition in any
season. The requirements of Rules 11 and 13 shall not
apply to players
who are under the age of 16 on April 20th preceding
the current season provided they have not previously
played in the Scottish National Cricket League,
Perthshire & Strathmore Cricket Union or North of
Scotland Cricket League, or gained representative
honours at National or District level. Clubs willing to
permit junior players falling within this Rule who have
previously played for them to appear for other Clubs in
senior competition in the same season will be afforded
the opportunity to provide a named contact for
facilitating this in the Association WEB site. The actual
basis, including provisions for child protection and any
playing restrictions, under which such arrangements
are made are for the relevant Clubs to agree; and the
Association can accept no legal responsibility for them.
(f) In Grade 4 only, if both captains agree, a club may
loan up to three players to its opponents, in order that
a fixture may be fulfilled which otherwise may have
been scratched.
Page 25
(g) In the event that any Club has two teams in the same
Grade in the same season, that Club will be required to
notify the Secretary of the Association and the other
teams in the Grade that they are about to participate
in, of the names of a number of members regularly
participating in the Grades the previous year and
expected to be doing so in the forthcoming season to
be determined by the Executive at its Annual General
Meeting from time to time [currently 6] who will be
allowed to play only for the Club’s recognised 1st XI
during that season. With that exception, Clubs with
1st and 2nd XI may play their members in either XI as
often as they wish.
(h) Any of sub-sections (a) to (g) notwithstanding, no
player may play for more than one team in any given
cup competition in the same season.
(i) No player who in the current season has played in a
higher Grade/level of cricket, or in a senior weekend
league outside of the Grades, can play in a cup
competition at semi-final or final level unless s/he
has played at least three times during the season for
that team prior to the cup match concerned. This
restriction shall not apply to any player aged under 18
on 20th April preceding the season concerned.
14. Financial Status of Players
No player may take part in any competition unless s/he is
clear financially with any Club of which s/he was a member
previously. Any Club knowingly fielding such a player, shall
on protest, be adjudged if found guilty to have lost the
match and receive no points
15. Protests
Protests must be intimated in writing to the Secretary of the
Association, to reach him not later than five days, including
Sunday, following the date on which the match was played,
and must be accompanied by a fee of £25. In addition, a
protest, except in regard to the eligibility of any players,
must be intimated to both Umpires and to the Captain of the
Page 26
opposing team either before or during the progress of the
game, but a protesting team must play out the match
although under protest. Should the protest be judged
frivolous, the £25 shall be forfeit. Should the protest be
upheld, the opposing team should pay a fine of £25.
16. Fixtures
Fixtures and venues for the ensuing season shall be
arranged by the Management Committee and promulgated
to Clubs as soon as practicable after the Annual General
Meeting. They shall thereafter be published in the
Association WEB site and no alterations shall be made
without the sanction of the Management Committee. The
Management Committee themselves shall have powers to
make alterations should circumstances arise to make such a
course necessary. In the event of any Club refusing or
failing to fulfil its engagement on the date and ground fixed
or to continue to play out the fixture without reasonable
cause for so doing the match may be awarded to the
opposing Club. In this context a League fixture re-arranged
by the Committee, provided that two weeks notice is given
to both Clubs, is as binding as a fixture published in the
Association WEB site.
For the purposes of this Rule, “notification” shall be
considered to include one or more of the following: verbal
communication with an official of the club or clubs
concerned; an e-mail, receipt of which has been
acknowledged by the addressee; or official notification on
the Association Web Site.
Notes:
(1) A Club normally fielding two or more elevens in the
Grades, and which has two or more fixtures on the same
day, must (if unable to fulfil all its fixtures) scratch (or by
agreement with its opponents and the consent of the
Management committee, postpone) its scheduled fixtures
from the lowest division of the Grades, working upwards.
*(2) In the event of a game being called off for whatever
reason, the message of the cancellation must be passed
onto an official of the opposition by word of mouth – not by
fax or answering systems.
Page 27
*(3) Any Club scratching a fixture must do so and both
teams must inform the Association Secretary by 7.00p.m.
the night before at the very latest. Any Club failing to
comply shall incur a 10 point penalty. Sport Aberdeen will,
and other pitch providers [including Clubs with their
own grounds] may, charge for the marking of pitches
which are not cancelled at least 48 hours beforehand.
Where such costs are levied it is the policy of the
Association that such costs should be met by the Club
scratching a fixture up to the figure (£30 or £60,
dependent on facilities) set annually to be paid by
clubs for pitches hired by the Association within the
City of Aberdeen.
(4) Fixtures in Grade 4, which involve second or third
elevens, may be re-arranged from Saturday to Sunday, if
both clubs agree.
(5) In determining whether a team has failed to fulfil or play
out any fixture the Management Committee shall have
regard to clubs’ adherence to the Association’s “Wet Weather
Rules and Procedures”, as approved and issued by it from
time to time.
*Failure to abide by these rules may be taken by the
Management Committee as evidence of failing to fulfil a
fixture “without reasonable cause” in the event of a protest.
Provision has been made for publication of additional
contacts in the Association WEB site for this purpose.
All competition matches shall take place on Saturdays and
Sundays and all matches shall be decided by a single
innings. Except in cases where the Management Committee
shall fix a different hour, all matches shall start at 1.00p.m.,
subject to the right to the away team to request a
postponement to 1.30p.m. where the fixtures is more than
25 miles distant, or of either team to request such a
postponement should players from their club be involved in
junior or schools cricket on that day. Teams may however
elect to start earlier by agreement. Any unreasonable delay
Page 28
in the commencement of a match being reported to the
Association, the Management Committee shall have powers
to impose a points deduction on the offending Club and/or to
award the match to their opponents.
Notes:
(1) The attention of Clubs is drawn to the fact that by Law
12 the Captains, in the presence of one or both umpires
where these have been appointed, shall toss for the choice
of innings on the field of play not earlier than 30 minutes
and not later than 15 minutes before the time scheduled for
the match to start. Any Club failing to be available to toss
the coin shall be adjudged to have lost the toss. Clubs are
reminded that it is also the responsibility of the captain of
the home team, before the toss of the innings for each
game, to agree with the umpires – or failing such, the
opposition captain – if any obstacles within the field of play
are to be classified as boundaries/constituting a “dead ball”
if hit. Such arrangements are valid only if made before the
toss for innings.
(2) In the event of any match [or, where appropriate, match
in the group stage of a league cup competition] not having
been played or completed on account of weather or state of
ground or for any other reason, such match shall
automatically be null and void, unless it is the second such
match scheduled and the first match has previously been
null and void; in which circumstances the match must be
played or replayed on the first date that is available to both
teams. However, where a league fixture cannot take place
on the originally scheduled date for genuine reasons other
than weather/state of ground [e.g. a tour, ground nonavailability, priority of a cup fixture, or other reasonable
circumstances acceptable to the Management Committee],
or a team elects not to enforce a walkover, a match may be
re-scheduled; but only on a joint application of both clubs to
the Management Committee submitted within seven days of
the originally scheduled date, and provided that the game is
arranged for the first date available to both teams, including
being brought forward if circumstances permit. Fixtures may
not be rescheduled for league points unless application for
Page 29
approval is submitted within this period. Once approval has
been given by the Management Committee to a fixture being
re-scheduled, such fixture then has the same status as the
originally scheduled fixture, which it has replaced.
For the purposes of this Rule:(a) “first available date that is available to both teams” shall
mean the first Saturday or Sunday, other than the day
immediately following, on which:
i)
ii)
The club of neither team has a Grades-level fixture
in a national competition or a 40-over knockout
cup;
The ground of either team is available. In the event
of insufficient Council pitches being available on
that day, pitches will be allocated to teams from
the highest Grade downwards.
(b) If the application of (a) above means that a Club would
have multiple re-arranged league games on any Sunday
then the game involving the senior team shall take
precedence & must be fulfilled on that date, the first
available date for re-scheduled fixtures involving other
teams of that Club being re-calculated accordingly.
17. Senior League Competitions
(a) In all grades matches will be played on a 45 over
a side, win/lose format. The winning side will be
awarded 30 points. For losing sides, or in the event of
a tie, bonus points for batting and bowling will apply
as noted in Section (b) of this Rule, plus 5 further
points to each side in the event of a tie. The result
decision shall be made by the normal Laws of Cricket.
(b) One bonus point shall be awarded to the bowling side for
each wicket taken, while one bonus point shall be awarded
to the batting side on scoring 40 runs and one additional
point for each additional 15 runs, up to a maximum of ten
bonus points.
Page 30
(c) A Captain may declare her/his innings closed at any time
by doing so to the opposing Captain and the Umpires but
declarations are not allowed to be retrospective.
(d) The Captains must provide the Umpires (or, in the event
of there being no official Umpires, the opposing Captain)
with a team list prior to the toss for innings.
(e) In the event of a nominated player failing to appear to
bat, her/his team’s innings shall be considered to be
completed when the last batsman available is dismissed or
retires.
(f) In games in Grade 1 or in Grade 2 no bowler may
bowl more than 10 overs, and in other grades more
than 12 overs. More restrictive advisory guidelines apply to
the number of overs, which may be bowled by junior
players.
(g) The Umpires, or failing appointed officials, the two
Captains, must satisfy themselves on the correctness of the
scores and the Captains must sign each scorebook or sheet.
(h) In the event of a match being unfinished due to weather
conditions, it shall be null and void and no points shall be
awarded unless a re-match is required under the provisions
of the final paragraph of Rule 16. Where however the
start of a match is delayed, or it envisaged prior to
commencement that, due to prevailing weather
conditions, a full duration game is unlikely to be
possible the umpire(s) if such have been officially
appointed, failing which both captains by agreement,
may determine prior to the toss for innings, that the
maximum duration of each innings should be reduced
by not more than 3 multiples of 5 overs, to 40, 35 or
30 overs. In this event, then for each 5 over
reduction in innings duration the maximum overs
permitted per bowler under Rule 17 (f) shall each be
reduced by 1 over.
(i) The Clubs that, during the season, shall have obtained
the greatest number of points expressed as a percentage of
Page 31
the points (including bonus points) available for a win shall
be the Champions of their respective Grades. In the event of
a tie, placing will be decided by a figure calculated by
dividing the average runs per wicket for by the average runs
per wicket against, the higher such figure shall win.
(j) A team scratching a fixture shall have ten wickets added
to their total of wickets lost for the purpose of assessing
average. In a declared innings only those wickets actually
fallen shall be counted.
(k) If during the season a club should withdraw from all
remaining league fixtures the matches it has already played
shall be deemed null and void. If during a season a Club
fails to fulfil at least two-thirds of its fixtures all matches
played by that Club shall be null and void and the Club or
Team in question shall be required to apply for re-admission
for the following season (see Rule 3).
(l) The Laws of Cricket (2000 Code – 4th edition 2010) will
apply generally to all games played under the auspices of
the Association unless specifically modified by the above or
other Special Local Regulations.
18. Senior Cup Ties
All Cup-tie Competitions shall be conducted on the knock-out
principle with each side being limited to 40 overs each and
each bowler being limited to a maximum of 10 overs. All
byes shall be drawn in the first round of each competition.
The Club first drawn shall be the home Club. If less than
seven wickets have fallen, the game shall be null and void
and replayed if possible on the same ground. If for any other
reason a replay is necessary, the other Club shall become
the home Club. In the event of the scores finishing level in a
cup tie, that team shall be deemed the winners which has
lost fewer wickets, or if both sides have lost the same
number of wickets, that side which scored its runs in the
lesser number of overs, including part overs. Only if the
game is still a tie thereafter shall it be replayed, with the
other side becoming the home team.
Page 32
All replays will take place within seven days or at the
discretion of the Management Committee. The Cup-tie Finals
shall be played on grounds to be fixed by the Management
Committee.
19. Tea Intervals
The tea interval in any competition match shall not exceed
20 minutes.
20. Results
Results, including notice of abandonment, postponement,
scratching and walkover, must be phoned or texted by the
Home or in the case of a cup final the Winning, Team to the
Results Hotline (Tel.: 07910 279627) by 8.15 p.m. on the
evening of the day set for the game concerned. If, due to
adverse weather, a match is likely to be continuing beyond
8.15 pm, the Secretary should be contacted by the side
currently batting before that hour by mobile phone. Any
team failing to comply with this deadline shall have 5 points
deducted from their total of league points for the season for
each infringement.
In the event of a scratching, BOTH teams must phone the
Association Secretary on 01224 822835 to notify their
decision.
The following details should be given:
iii) Name, Club, and Phone Number for contact in event
of any queries.
iv) Fixture (home team first), Grade and Date.
v) Score of team batting first - top two batsmen
(indicating if not out), best two bowlers (in order of
wickets taken, and specifying any hat-tricks). If
the game was subsequently drawn, the duration of
first innings (rounding up uncompleted overs).
Page 33
vi) Score of team batting second - top two batsmen
(indicating if not out), best two bowlers (in order of
wickets taken, and specifying any hat-tricks).
vii) Result and allocation of points.
If desired, a note may also be left of any highlights - major
partnerships, collapses, recoveries etc.
If a match is postponed, the HOME club is responsible for
notifying this: if a fixture is scratched BOTH clubs must
phone to confirm.
Clubs are reminded that under a change to Rules approved
at the 2008 AGM, players must be identified in reporting
results using the name under which they are registered with
the Association: both surname and initial should be given,
as these are needed for press reports. Occasionally, where a
club has multiple players with the same surname and initial,
the full first name may be required.
Discretion should be used, where appropriate, also to spell
out in full surnames which are unusual or have variant
spellings - Macdonald, McDonald, etc - as the time available
for preparing press reports does not allow the checking of all
names against club registration lists.
A sample report is given below and a template is available
on the Association Web Site for reference, which you may
wish to print off
"Paul Brown; Country CC; 07896 549213.
Country versus City - Grade 1. May 15th 2010.
City 200 for 5 (A Black 75 not out, J Green 22; John Smith 4 for
33, James Smith 3 for 47) 44 overs
Country 169 for 8 (James Smith 44, A. McNab 27; Z Khan 6 for 17
inc hat-trick, P. Gray 2 for 55).
Match Drawn. City 23 points: Country 16 points.
[Country lost their first five wickets for 35.]"
Notification of the registration of new players may also be
left on the answering machine, provided it is followed up by
submission of written details on the form downloadable from
Page 34
the Association Web Site by the middle of the following
week, and that - in accordance with Rule 11 - no player may
take an active part in any game until her/his registration has
been notified, if necessary by mobile phone.
21. Cups and Trophies
The Association may present a Cup or other Trophy or prize
to the winners of the various competitions. The Cups or
trophies so presented will be held for one year only and
must be returned to the Secretary of the Association by
1st August in each year. A document in the following terms
shall be granted on behalf of each winning Club:“We, the Secretary and two Members of the <……………….…>
Club, winners for Season 20xx of the Cup called the
<…….…> And which we have now received, do hereby, on
behalf of our said Club and individually and collectively,
undertake to return the said Cup in good order and
condition, to the Secretary of the Aberdeenshire Cricket
Association for the time being on or before the First day of
August, 20xx”.
A Club failing to hand over the Cup by the 1st of August
shall be fined £2, which must be paid before 31st December
in that year.
22. Individuals Prizes and Averages
To be eligible for any cup, trophy or prize given under the
auspices of the Association, players will be required to have
batted in at least 2/3 of the completed matches played
under league conditions by their team or to have taken an
aggregate number of wickets in their respective grades
which is not less than 1.5 times the number of completed
matches played under league conditions by their team.
Victories obtained by walkover shall not be regarded as
completed matches for the purpose of this calculation:
defeats as a result of scratching however shall be so
regarded. Runs scored after the winning hit has been made
shall not be included in the Association Batting and Bowling
Averages.
Page 35
A player, re-registered as per Rule 13 may not use her/his
combined performances when calculating her/his Grade
averages. The allocation of prizes shall be in the hands of
the Management Committee but they shall be under no
obligation to find prizes. All Clubs shall return to the
Secretary of the Association, their best averages for batting,
bowling and wicket-keeping, immediately after the last
match of the season, in order that they may be verified by
the weekly returns or by the scorebooks of the respective
Clubs as may be decided by the Management Committee.
23. Indiscipline
(a) Any player behaving in an un-gentlemanly manner or
insulting any Umpire in either a visible or verbal manner
during the course of or in connection with a match, or
otherwise breaching the Laws of Cricket [including the
Preamble thereto, entitled “The Spirit of Cricket”] or bringing
the game into disrepute, or the captain of such a player,
shall be liable to disciplinary action at the instance of the
Disciplinary Committee of the Association.
(b) For the purposes of this rule:(i) the expression ‘player’ shall be deemed to include any
player, member, or official of any Club;
(ii) the expression ‘Disciplinary Committee’ shall mean a
Committee comprising a maximum of seven persons
elected by the Executive of the Association at the
Spring Meeting of the Association and serving for
three years, with any or all of its members being
eligible for re-election. A quorum of the Disciplinary
Committee shall be three members and any
vacancies may be filled by co-option, subject to
ratification at the following Spring Meeting. The
Committee shall appoint its own Convener and
Secretary.
(c) The Disciplinary Committee will not consider any
complaint against a player unless written notice of any such
Page 36
complaint is received by the Secretary of the Association
from any Club or member of the Umpires Association within
five days after the date of the alleged offence. A meeting of
the Disciplinary Committee shall be convened within ten
days of receipt of any such written complaint.
The player against whom the complaint has been made will
be entitled to be present at the meeting in order to answer
the complaint or to have a representative present to speak
on her/his behalf before a decision is reached. Unless
specifically exempted, both captains on the day of any
match in respect of which indiscipline is reported, must also
attend any disciplinary hearing. The captain of a player
reported may also where appropriate be disciplined,
irrespective of whether directly involved in any
ungentlemanly behaviour reported, if in the opinion of the
Disciplinary Committee s/he failed to take reasonable steps
to prevent the behaviour concerned, as may the captain of
the opposing side if, in the opinion of the Disciplinary
Committee, actions by her/his players contributed materially
to the incident of indiscipline reported.
(d) Any player found by the Disciplinary Committee to have
committed an offence under paragraph (a) above will have a
right of appeal to the Management Committee provided that
a written notice setting out the grounds of appeal is received
by the Secretary of the Association within seven days of the
notification of the decision of the Disciplinary Committee and
is accompanied by a deposit of £50.
An appeal hearing will be convened within ten days of
receipt of any such written appeal, with the player having
the same rights of attendance or representation as were
available to him at the original hearing. The Management
Committee may confirm, vary or reverse the decision of the
Disciplinary Committee but will have no power to increase
any penalty imposed. The Management Committee will also
be empowered to order the £50 deposit to be forfeited
should it consider an appeal to be frivolous, as to which it
shall be the sole judge. The decision of the Management
Committee on the appeal will be final. Any penalty imposed
Page 37
by the Disciplinary Committee will be suspended pending
the outcome of any appeal.
(e) A member of the Disciplinary Committee or of the
Management Committee will not be permitted to participate
in the hearing of any case involving a player from the Club
of which s/he is a member or which arises from a game in
which her/his Club was involved.
(f) The sanctions available under this Rule shall be one of
more of the following: oral or written reprimand; suspension
of a player, players, or of a team from Association
competitions for a specified period; a fine on a club (but not
on individuals) not exceeding £50; deduction of not more
than 30 league points; or award of a match to the
opposition.
(g) The standard of proof in proceedings under this Rule
shall be the civil standard – “more likely than not”.
24. Bowler’s Attire
No bowler shall be allowed to bowl in dark clothes in any of
the competitions without the consent of the Captain of the
opposing team.
25. Standard Ball
The ball to be used in all senior games played under the
auspices of the Association shall be specified from time to
time by the Management Committee subject to endorsement
by the Annual General Meeting. The Standard Ball
specified for 2016 is the “Dukes Special Crown Match
A” 5½oz (DT054), available from Thistle Sports at the
concessionary price of £93.00 per box, plus a £1 levy
per ball to the Association funds. Existing stocks of
the Grade 1 ball approved in previous seasons may
however also be used at that level while these remain
available. Where under Law 5(5) if a ball is lost or becomes
unfit for play during an innings it may be replaced by any
ball which is agreed by both captains and umpires to have
had wear comparable with that which the previous ball had
received before the need for replacement.
Page 38
26. Rules
No alteration shall be made in the foregoing Constitution and
Rules without a majority of the Executive present voting in
favour of the proposed alterations at the Annual General
Meeting. Notice of any such alterations must be in the
Secretary’s hands by 1st November, in order that Clubs may
get twenty-eight days notice of same.
Amendments to the alterations must be in the Secretary’s
hands in time for Clubs to get fourteen days notice of same.
Any proposed alteration to rules (other than one proposed
by the Management Committee or the Rules Committee)
or amendment thereto (whether to a proposal made by the
Management Committee or the Rules Committee or
otherwise) must be proposed by a minimum of three Clubs.
Exceptionally, with the consent of two-thirds of those
present and voting, Rule Changes may be considered at the
Spring or a Special Meeting, where necessary to respond to
factors unknown at the time of the Annual General Meeting
[eg reconstruction of national or other leagues].
Furthermore, if circumstances arise during a season
which in the opinion of the Management Committee
(a) could not reasonably have been foreseen but (b)
where it is considered that immediate temporary
additional provision or suspension of the Rules may be
appropriate to further the stated Objects of the
Association, then that Committee by a two-thirds
majority of its total membership shall have power to
make such temporary provision, provided that any
action taken under this provision and the reasons for
it are publicised on the Association Web site within 7
days of the approval of such provision; and any such
provision shall last only until the next meeting of the
Executive, including an Extraordinary Meeting if such
is requisitioned.
Page 39
ANNEX TO RULE 6
COMPETITIONS SUB-COMMITTEE
GUIDELINES APPROVED AT THE SPRING MEETING 2015
1.
The expression ‘Competitions Sub-Committee’ shall
mean a Committee comprising a maximum of seven
persons elected by the Executive of the Association at
the Spring Meeting of the Association, each from
different clubs and serving for three years, with any or
all of its members being eligible for re-election. At least
two of the members must come from clubs whose
senior Grade team, at the time of their election, is not in
Grade 1. In the event of any member being unable to
act in any case due to previous involvement or club
affiliation s/he may be replaced by an alternate coopted by the remaining members of the Sub-Committee
for consideration of that matter only. A quorum of the
Committee shall be three members. Any vacancies
arising through resignation may be filled by co-option,
subject to ratification at the following Spring Meeting.
The Committee shall appoint its own Convener and
Secretary.
2.
The remit of the Competitions Sub-Committee shall be
to investigate if necessary, consider, and reach an initial
determination on any alleged breach of the Rules of
Association Competition (including Rules for player
registration) which may either be referred to it by the
elected President, Vice-President or Secretary of the
Association, or of which notice has been submitted by
any member club within the provisions of Association
Rule 15 (Protests). The Committee shall not however
deal with matters of indiscipline, falling within the scope
of Rule 23. Clubs or individuals wishing to draw any
matter to the attention to the Sub-Committee must
submit this in the first instance to the Secretary of the
Association in writing, making clear to which Rules the
alleged breach or Protest relates, and should use the
form provided on the Web site for this purpose. The
Page 40
Sub-Committee shall transmit this in written form to the
club or individual under investigation.
3.
Unless with the written agreement of the Club or
individual under investigation, or both parties in event
of a protest, a meeting of the Sub-Committee must be
convened, where possible within ten days of reference
or receipt of any allegation. However, if it is considered
that an alleged breach of Rule or Protest may also
constitute grounds for disciplinary action, then that
action shall be disposed of first, and the timescales
contained in subsequent provisions of these guidelines
shall run from the date of the conclusion of disciplinary
hearings, including any appeal. The Convener of the
Sub-Committee shall also have summary power to
dismiss any allegation or protest s/he considers
frivolous, or with agreement of all parties to impose a
sanction of Reprimand or a deduction of not more than
ten league points, subject always to the right of any
Club or individual under investigation, or which has
submitted a Protest, to request a personal hearing. For
the avoidance of doubt, the sub-Committee shall be
entitled, if it considers it appropriate to do so, to
determine any procedural matters by electronic or
telephone discussion/communication between/among its
members.
4.
Any club or individual against whom an allegation has
been made will be entitled to be present or to have a
representative present to speak on her/his behalf at the
meeting of the sub-Committee to answer the allegation
and put forward any mitigation before a decision is
reached and any sanction imposed. If the allegation
relates to a particular match, the sub-Committee may
require the captains on the day of that match to attend
any meeting held to consider that allegation.
5.
Any club or player found by the Competitions SubCommittee to have committed an breach of Rules under
paragraph (2) above will have a right of appeal [but on
grounds of competence, bias, procedural irregularity,
Page 41
perversity, or a point of law only] to the Management
Committee provided that a written notice setting out the
grounds of appeal is received by the Secretary of the
Association within seven days of the notification of the
decision of the Sub-Committee and is accompanied by a
deposit of £50. An appeal hearing will be convened
within ten days of receipt of any such written appeal,
with the player or club having the same rights of
attendance or representation as were available at the
original hearing. The Management Committee may
confirm, vary or reverse the decision of the
Competitions Sub-Committee but will have no power to
increase any penalty imposed. The Management
Committee will also be empowered to order the £50
deposit to be forfeited should it consider an appeal to be
frivolous, as to which it shall be the sole judge. The
decision of the Management Committee on the appeal
will be final. Any penalty imposed by the Competitions
Sub-Committee will be suspended pending the outcome
of any appeal. If a decision of the Competitions SubCommittee is set aside on legal grounds the
Management Committee shall be empowered, if in its
absolute discretion it considers this to be in the interests
of a timely resolution, then to re-hear the original
allegation or protest itself; but in that case may impose
no penalty greater than that imposed previously by the
Competitions Sub-Committee.
6. A member of the Competitions Sub-Committee or of the
Management Committee will not be permitted to
participate in the hearing of any case involving a player
from the Club of which s/he is a member or which arises
from a game in which her/his Club was involved.
7.
The sanctions available under this Rule shall be one of
more of the following: oral or written reprimand;
suspension of a player, players, or of a team from
Association competitions for a specified period; a fine on
a club (but not on individuals) not exceeding £50;
deduction of not more than 30 league points; or award
of a match to the opposition.
Page 42
8.
The standard of proof in proceedings under this Rule
shall be the civil standard – “more likely than not”.
9.
In interpreting and applying these Guidelines, regard
shall be had to the status of the Association as a
voluntary organisation controlled by its member clubs.
Actions or decisions taken under these Guidelines shall
therefore not be invalidated by defects in procedure
which are of a minor technical nature, where in the
opinion of the Committee concerned these do not result
in any disadvantage to the legitimate interests or rights
of the Association, its members clubs, or any individual.
ANNEX TO RULE 11
PLAYER REGISTRATION PROCESS 2016 AND
ASSOCIATED DATA PROTECTION NOTICE
Approved by the Association Spring Meeting on 28
February 2016
Purpose – The Aberdeenshire Cricket Association
administers a database of registered players. The
purpose of this is to ensure in accordance with the
Rules of the Association (a) that all players are
registered; (b) no person can be registered at any
time for more than one club.
Content – The content of the register is the legal
family/surname, preferred forename, and contact
address of each player, and the club for which they are
registered. For those who have entered the EEA in the
past 180 days, or who are under 21 on 20 April
preceding the relevant season the date of entry/date
of birth are also recorded.
Source – The source of data is member clubs, each of
whom shall be required prior to each season to
nominate to the Association a Registration Officer and
alternate for each team entered, and to enter into an
Page 43
undertaking to the Association that the attention of all
players is drawn to the existence and substance of this
processing notice, and to confirm that their own
registration records comply with the Data Protection
Principles. Players may be registered by text or e-mail
provided this is done before they play, but to be added
to the master database their details must be officially
confirmed by a designated Registration Officer using
the form available on the Association website.
Disclosures – Data from the database may be
disclosed only to
a) Members of the Management Committee in
their capacity as such
b) Members of the Competitions Sub-Committee
in respect of cases referred to it
c) On written request to the Association’s
designated Registrations Co-ordinator the
Registration Officer(s) of each club in respect
of the players registered for that club only.
Additionally, on written request to the Association’s
designated Co-ordinator of Registrations the
Association may confirm to the Secretary of a member
club whether a named individual is registered for a
club which has played against her/his club within the
previous 72 hours and may publish on its web site
retrospectively a list of the names [but not contact
details] of the players previously registered to each
club; but will disclose no data to any other club or
individual beyond these provisions.
Committee members and others to whom data is
disclosed are expected to treat this with appropriate
confidence and not to disclose it to third parties. Any
breach may be treated as a disciplinary offence under
Association Rule 23.
Accuracy & Retention – The Association will take all
reasonable steps to ensure that data is kept up to
date, is held only until 31 October following the
Page 44
relevant season, and to fund technical adequate backup arrangements.
This policy/statement of purpose shall be published in
the Association Handbook and be placed on the
Association Web Site.”
ANNEX TO RULE 17 (L)
UMPIRING LBW & WIDE GUIDELINES
Disputes often arise when there are no neutral umpires
available, and some of those sent out to umpire are not
too sure of the rules, so to aid these umpires, below are
some guidelines for the LBW and WIDE rules that may
help, as published by Lord’s MCC Laws of Cricket
LBW LAW 36
1. OUT LBW
The striker is out LBW in the circumstances set out below.
(a) The bowler delivers a ball, not being a No ball,
Page 45
and (b) the ball, if it is not intercepted full pitch, pitches in
line between wicket and wicket or on the off side of the
striker’s wicket,
and (c) the ball not having previously touched his bat, the
striker intercepts the ball, either full pitch or after pitching,
with any part of his person,
and (d) the point of impact, even if above the level of the
bails,
either
(i) is between wicket and wicket, or
(ii) if the striker has made no genuine attempt to play
the ball with his bat, is either between wicket and
wicket or outside the line of the off stump.
and (e) but for the interception, the ball would have hit the
wicket.
2. INTERCEPTION OF THE BALL
(a) In assessing points (c), (d) and (e) in 1 above, only the
first interception is to be considered.
(b) In assessing point (e) in 1 above, it is to be assumed
that the path of the ball before interception would have
continued after interception, irrespective of whether the ball
might have pitched subsequently or not.
3. OFF SIDE OF WICKET
The off side of the striker’s wicket shall be determined by
the striker’s stance at the moment the ball comes into play
for that delivery.
WIDE LAW 25
1. JUDGING A WIDE
(a) If the bowler bowls a ball, not being a No ball, the
umpire shall adjudge it a Wide if, according to the definition
in (b) below, in his opinion the ball passes wide of the
striker where he is and which also would have passed wide
of him standing in a normal guard position.
Page 46
(b) The ball will be considered as passing wide of the striker
unless it is sufficiently within his reach for him to be able to
hit it with his bat by means of a normal cricket stroke.
2. DELIVERY NOT A WIDE
The umpire shall not adjudge a delivery as being a Wide,
(a) if the striker, by moving,
either (i) causes the ball to pass wide of him, as defined in
1(b) above
or (ii) brings the ball sufficiently within his reach to be able
to hit it by means of a normal cricket stroke.
(b) if the ball touches the striker’s bat or person.
3. CALL AND SIGNAL OF WIDE BALL
(a) If the umpire adjudges a delivery to be a Wide he shall
call and signal Wide ball as soon as the ball passes the
striker’s wicket. It shall, however, be considered to have
been a Wide from the instant of delivery, even though it
cannot be called Wide until it passes the striker’s wicket.
(b) The umpire shall revoke the call of Wide ball if there is
then any contact between the ball and the striker’s bat or
person.
(c) The umpire shall revoke the call of Wide ball if a delivery
is called a No ball. See Law 24.11 (No ball to over-ride
Wide).
4. BALL NOT DEAD
The ball does not become dead on the call of Wide ball.
5. PENALTY FOR A WIDE
A penalty of one run shall be awarded instantly on the call
of Wide ball. Unless the call is revoked (see 3(b) and (c)
above), this penalty shall stand even if a batsman is
dismissed, and shall be in addition to any other runs
scored, any boundary allowance and any other runs
awarded for penalties.
6. RUNS RESULTING FROM A WIDE - HOW SCORED
Page 47
All runs completed by the batsmen or a boundary
allowance, together with the penalty for the Wide, shall be
scored as Wide balls. Apart from any award of 5 penalty
runs, all runs resulting from a Wide shall be debited against
the bowler.
7. WIDE NOT TO COUNT
A Wide shall not count as one of the over. See Law 22.3
(Validity of balls).
8. OUT FROM A WIDE
When Wide ball has been called, neither batsman shall be
out under any of the Laws except 35 (Hit wicket), 37
(Obstructing the field), 38 (Run out) or 39 (Stumped).

WET WEATHER GUIDELINES AND CRITERIA
Disputes as to the fitness of the ground or weather for play
are inevitable from time to time and on the rare occasions
when a protest is made as a result of such a dispute the
Management Committee has the almost impossible task of
determining the rights and wrongs of the case without
having been present at the time of the dispute and with only
the verbal accounts of the protagonists upon which to base
their decision.
At the request of the Committee of Inquiry held in 1988, the
Management Committee drew up, and has revised, the
following set of guidelines, which attempt to set out the
procedures to be followed and the criteria to be used in
cases of doubt over the fitness of the ground or weather for
play. It is hoped that by following these guidelines, Captains
can come to an amicable agreement and protests will not be
necessary at all.
However, where there are no officially appointed Umpires
and the Captains cannot agree, then a protest can be made
where one Captain considers that the other is refusing to
start, resume or to continue play without good reason.
Captains should bear in mind that a protest should only be
made as a last resort and only after exhausting the
procedures set out in the guidelines. If a protest is made for
this reason then both Captains must follow the procedure as
set out under "Making a Protest.”
While the following guidelines are just that - guidelines, the
Committee earnestly hopes that Captains will bear them in
mind in their discussions with their opposite number. The
Committee gives notice that where protests do come before
the Committee, failure by either or both Captains to adhere
to these guidelines may be taken into account in making a
decision.
WET WEATHER GUIDELINES
Page 49
1. INDEPENDENT GROUNDS-PERSON
Where an independent grounds-person refuses to allow play
to start or insists that play is suspended then her/his
decision must be accepted as final. This provision includes
the Sport Aberdeen grounds at Harlaw and Groats
Road.
2. INDEPENDENT UMPIRES
Where Umpires have been appointed then Law 3.8 and 3.9
of the 2010 Code of Laws - “Fitness for Play” and
“Suspension of play in dangerous or unreasonable
conditions” - shall apply, and in particular :(a) Fitness for Play
(i)
It is solely for the umpires together to decide
whether either conditions of ground, weather
or light or exceptional circumstances mean
that it would be dangerous or unreasonable for
play to take place.
Conditions shall not be regarded as either
dangerous or unreasonable merely because
they are not ideal.
(ii) Conditions shall be regarded as dangerous if
there is actual and foreseeable risk to the
safety of any player or umpire.
(iii) Conditions shall be regarded as unreasonable
if, although posing no risk to safety, it would
not be sensible for play to proceed.
(b) Suspension of play in dangerous or
unreasonable
conditions
(i)
All references to ground include the pitch. See
Law 7.1 (Area of pitch).
(ii) If at any time the umpires together agree that
the conditions of ground, weather or light, or
any other circumstances are dangerous or
Page 50
unreasonable, they shall immediately suspend
play, or not allow play to start or to
recommence.
(iii) When there is a suspension of play it is the
responsibility of the umpires to monitor
conditions. They shall make inspections as
often as appropriate, unaccompanied by any
players or officials. Immediately the umpires
together agree that the conditions are no
longer dangerous or unreasonable they shall
call upon the players to resume play.
Note: where only one Umpire has been appointed, then
her/his
decision shall apply as above.
3. BEFORE THE TOSS FOR INNINGS
(a) No match should be postponed prior to the morning of
the match.
(b) If, during the morning of the match, the Captain of
the "Home" side is of the opinion that the ground is unfit
for play he should advise the Secretary or Captain of the
"Away" side at the latest before 11.30 a.m. (11:00 a.m.
if more than 25 miles distance)
The "Away" club should then have the option of agreeing
to the postponement of the fixture, or, of insisting on a
pitch inspection 30 minutes before the scheduled starting
time. In this case, both teams and umpires, if appointed,
should attend at the ground in time to start the match at
the scheduled time if play is possible.
(c) On no account may the "Home" club postpone the
fixture without the agreement of the "Away" club. In the
event of an agreed postponement the "Home" club
should
i) advise the Umpires (if appointed)
ii) advise the association Secretary
Page 51
4. WHERE NO UMPIRES HAVE BEEN APPOINTED
It is IMPORTANT that the following guidelines as set out
under part 4 are only to be considered where there are NO
officially appointed UMPIRES. Where UMPIRES have been
officially appointed then part 4 must be disregarded and
parts. 1, 2 & 3 only shall apply.
4.1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES
i) Any decision concerning the fitness of the ground or
weather for play shall rest with the two Captains and
with the aid of the attached criteria; they shall decide
on the fitness of the ground or weather for play.
ii) For this purpose, the batsmen at the wicket may
deputise for their Captain but only as long as there is
no dispute. Should there be disagreement between the
batsmen at the wicket and the Fielding Captain then
the Batting Captain should be called upon to confer
with the Fielding Captain.
iii) Players and Captains should be aware that this is a
matter for Captains to decide and that players should
refrain from trying to influence the decision. For this
reason it is IMPORTANT that the Captains confer
ALONE and that they make every effort to reach an
agreement.
4.2 WHEN PLAY IS IN PROGRESS
i) If, at any time during play, conditions deteriorate to
such an extent that continuing would be
"unreasonable" (see attached criteria), then the
batsmen at the wicket or the Fielding Captain may ask
for a suspension of play. The Batting Captain cannot
ask for a suspension of play unless s/he is one of the
batsman at the wicket.
ii) If it agreed that play should be suspended then the
Captains must agree the time at which they will review
the situation. If it is close to tea-time the Captains may
agree to take an early tea interval.
Page 52
iii) Should there be disagreement between the
batsmen at the wicket and the Fielding Captain the
Batting Captain shall be called upon to confer with the
Fielding Captain.
iv) The Captains, with reference to the attached
criteria, must make every effort to come to an
agreement. They have the following options:a. agreeing to continue play
b. agreeing to suspend play subject to review at
an agreed time.
c. agreeing to continue play subject to a review
after an agreed number of overs have
elapsed.*
d.
take an early tea-interval if appropriate.
*an over in progress shall count as a completed over
v) If the Captains cannot agree on one of these
options, they must record the reason for the
disagreement and the time, overs and score in both
scorebooks. Play will then be suspended subject to a
review after 15 minutes. At this stage it is hoped that
the weather will either improve or deteriorate to such
an extent that there is no further dispute or in any
event that the 15 minute suspension of play will act as
a "cooling off" period and that reason will prevail.
Players should at all times refrain from aggravating the
situation and the Captains especially should set a good
example in this regard.
4.3 WHEN PLAY IS NOT IN PROGRESS
(That is before the start of the match, during an
interval, during the change of innings or where play
has been suspended for any reason.)
i) If, while play is not in progress, weather or ground
conditions are such that to start or resume play would
be "unreasonable" (see criteria) then either Captain
Page 53
may ask that the start or resumption of play be
delayed. Note that should conditions delay the
scheduled start then the toss may be delayed to 15
minutes before the agreed starting time as under Law
12.4 the Toss.
ii) The Captains, with reference to the attached
criteria, must make every effort to come to an
agreement. They have the following options:a.
Agreeing to start or resume play.
b.
Agreeing to stay off subject to review at an
agreed time.
c.
Agreeing to start or resume play subject to a
review after an agreed number of overs have
elapsed.
d.
Take an early tea-interval if appropriate.
e.
Agree to abandon the match.
iii) If the Captains agree to delay the start or
resumption of play then they must agree a time at
which they will review the situation. This delay should
not be more than 30 minutes.
iv) If the Captains cannot agree on one of these
options, they must record the reason for the
disagreement and the time, overs and score in both
scorebooks. Play will then remain suspended subject to
a review after 15 minutes. At this stage it is hoped that
the weather will either improve or deteriorate to such
an extent that there is no further dispute or in any
event that the 15 minute further suspension of play
will act as a "cooling off" period and that reason will
prevail. Players should at all times refrain from
aggravating the situation and the Captains especially
should set a good example in this regard.
4.4 WHAT HAPPENS IF THE CAPTAINS STILL CANNOT
AGREE?
Page 54
i) In nearly all cases the above procedures should, if
common sense prevails, produce an 'agreement of some
sort. To get to the stage of recording one "official"
disagreement in the scorebook should be a rare
occurrence and two recorded disagreements should be
rarer still.
ii) The Management Committee hopes that the process
of recording the disagreement will concentrate the
Captains minds and that protests will therefore be
unnecessary but should the situation arise that there
have been THREE recorded disagreements, and that after
the latest period of 15 minutes, agreement is still not
possible then the match shall be abandoned.
iii) The options open to the Captains at this point are as
follows:a.
Both Captains may agree to let the result stand,
(i.e. match
abandoned as void, subject to
Rule 16 if a replay is required).
b.
Either Captain may lodge a protest with the
Management Committee if s/he considers that
the opposition Captain has consistently refused
to start, continue or resume play without good
reason.
5. MAKING A PROTEST
If either Captain wishes to claim the match by lodging a
formal protest to the Management Committee s/he must:a.
Inform the opposition Captain there and then - .i.e.
before leaving the ground.
b.
Make sure that both scorebooks are signed by both
Captains as they should be in any case.
c.
Intimate the protest in "writing to the Secretary of
the Association, to reach him no later than five days,
including Sunday, following the date on which the
match was played." The protest "must be
accompanied by a fee of £25."

6. ACTION OF MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE ON
RECEIPT OF PROTEST
On receipt of a protest from a Club claiming the match as
the Management Committee shall:
a.
Arrange a meeting of the Management Committee
and
b.
Invite both the Captains (or persons acting as
Captain on the day in question) to attend and to
bring with them a written account of the events as
they saw them, their scorebook and any other
evidence they see fit.
The Management Committee may view the protest as
"frivolous"
(under Rule 15 of the Constitution) if the
procedures in part 4 of
these guidelines have not been
observed by the Captain of the
protesting Club, or if the
Captain of the protesting Club fails to
attend the meeting or
to bring with him the scorebook or a
written account, or if
the fee has not been paid.
Similarly, if the Captain of the club defending the protest
has
failed to observe part 4 of these guidelines, or fails to
attend the
meeting or bring with him the scorebook and a
written account
this may be taken into account by the
Committee in reaching its decision.
only
The Management Committee, under the Constitution, is
allowed to make one of two decisions, namely:i)
they can uphold the protest and award the match to
the protesting Club.
ii)
they can turn down the protest. In this event the
match shall be void unless Rule 16 applies and a
replay is required.

WET WEATHER CRITERIA
"UNREASONABLE" CONDITIONS:
The following ground or weather conditions are to be considered
"unreasonable" for starting, continuing, or resuming play:1. Heavy rain, which wets players through.
2. Lighter rain driven by a strong wind.
3. Water pooling on the pitch or on the outfield within 25
yards of the pitch.
4. Wet ground on the pitch or bowlers run-ups such that
the batsmen or bowlers cannot run
or turn with
safety. A slight restriction in foothold is not however
"unreasonable".
5. Water rising round ones feet when the pitch is subject
to foot pressure.
6. Water splashing up when the ball pitches.
7. Foggy or misty conditions where the pitch is not visible
from the boundary.
8. Where, the bowler or either batsman normally plays in
spectacles and their vision is being seriously affected by
rain obscuring the lenses. Wearing a cap 'can often help
in this situation.
NOT "UNREASONABLE" CONDITIONS:
The following ground or weather conditions should not be
considered as "unreasonable" and are therefore not sufficient
reasons for suspending, not starting or not resuming play:
1. Light rain which may be unpleasant but does not wet
through or seriously affect the wicket but which may
make the ball slippery or difficult to control.
2. Wet slippery grass or small pools of water outwith 25
yards of the pitch.
3. Light mist or fog where visibility is such as to allow the
pitch to seen from the boundary. The scorers may
have to take up their position at the boundary if
necessary.
Page 57
4. Soft wet pitches which may make batting difficult but
are not so bad that they are "unreasonable" under
points 3 to 6 above.
5. Players who cannot obtain sufficient footholds in wet
conditions because they are wearing unsuitable
footwear. (But see Note below).
NOTE: (Where the match is being played on an artificial
wicket however and bowlers and batsmen are compelled to
wear non-spiked footwear then the condition of the bowler's
run up may well make play impossible if the bowler's run up
is dangerous in non-spiked footwear).

MEDIA
What this policy covers
This policy sets out the Aberdeenshire Cricket Association
(ACA)’s position on all member clubs’, individual club

AC-SCDG LEAGUE NOTES
NATIONAL PRIMARY SCHOOL KWIK CRICKET RULES
The Network Rail National Primary Schools’ Cup is a Kwik Cricket
(8-a-side) pair’s tournament for boys and girls who are in P6
(and/or below) at the commencement of the tournament. The
rules & regulations are to be adopted for all regional qualifying
competitions – and will be used at Finals Day, in Perth, in June
2015.
ORGANISATION
1. Teams will consist of 8 players, with a minimum of 3 girls
per team. (A school may use a squad of up to 10 at any
event.)
2. Teams will consist of players from P6 and below.
3. Unless stated otherwise in this document the Laws of
Cricket will apply – and the MCC Spirit of Cricket should be
upheld.
4. The pitch (please see the pitch layout diagram for further
assistance) :
a. is 16 yards in length
b. The following markings will be made on the pitch:
i.
Two parallel ‘bowling’ creases at each end of the
pitch (i.e. 16 yards apart) extending 1 metre either
side of middle stump, with the position of middle
stump marked with a cross on the line.
ii.
A ‘batting’ crease parallel to the ‘bowling’ crease
(known as the ‘popping’ crease), shall be marked at
each end of the pitch. This ‘batting’ crease shall be
the same length as the ‘bowling’ crease and will be
marked 1.22 metres (4 feet) away from the
‘bowling’ crease, towards the middle of the pitch.
iii.
A cross, 0.3 metres (1 foot) in front of the ‘batting’
crease and directly on the imaginary line between
the two middle stumps, shall be marked at the end
of the pitch where the batters strike the ball.
Page 89
JUNIOR PITCH LAYOUT
Page 90
BATTING AND SCORING
1. Both teams begin with a score of 200
2. Both teams will bat for 8 overs
a. Batters will bat for 2 overs in pairs
b. They are not replaced by another batter when
dismissed
3. Runs are added as they are scored in the conventional way
and also when No Balls and Wide deliveries are bowled
(see 6. below)
4. If a batter is dismissed they must not face the next
delivery and
a. Five (5) runs will be taken from the total
b. NB: Batters may have to swap ends to ensure the
dismissed batter does not face the next delivery
5. Batters can be out by being
a. bowled
b. caught
c. hit wicket
d. run out ( for the purposes of simplicity in introducing
the game there is no distinction between stumping and
run out, i.e. whatever the circumstance if a batter is
out of his/her ground when the wicket is broken the
will be deemed to be run out).
e. A batter can still be out on a free hit
6. No Balls and Wide deliveries
a. Either umpire will call and signal No ball for a delivery
i.
that does not bounce and is above the batter’s
shoulder-height or
ii. for a delivery that bounces more than twice before
it reaches the crease line at the batter’s end.
b. A delivery is deemed to be Wide if, in the opinion of
the striker’s end umpire, it is not within reach of the
striker.
c. When a No Ball or Wide delivery is bowled the batter is
entitled to a ‘Free ‘hit or a ‘T-ball’
Page 91
i.
The free hit will be made from the batting tee.
ii. The ball must be hit in front of the crease line at
the striker’s stumps (i.e. ‘in front of square’)
iii. The batter only has one chance to swing.
iv. The ‘T’ ball is a free hit and not counted as the next
delivery.
v. The ‘T’ is placed by the square leg umpire on the
cross marked in front of the crease at the strikers
end (it must be placed behind the stumps before
the next ball is bowled).
vi. The scoring for these ‘T’ ball deliveries includes 2
for the Wide/No Ball + any runs + score made on
the free hit. (The striker can still be dismissed from
the free hit too.)
BOWLING AND FIELDING
1. Each fielder must bowl once.
2. Bowlers will bowl over arm.
3. Fielders
a. Are only allowed to stand within 8 yards/10 metres of
the striker if they are fielding behind the stumps at the
strikers end
b. Are not allowed to move on a free hit unless the
batter’s have changed ends (i.e. completed a run)
THE RESULT
1. The team with the most runs at the completion of both
innings will be the winner.
2. In the event of the runs scored is tied:
a. the team that has lost fewer wickets will be adjudged
the winners,
b. If the teams cannot be separated then the team
scoring the most boundaries (i.e. 4s and 6s) will be the
3. winners,
c. If still equal then the team scoring the most boundary
6s will be the winners.
d. A tie will only be declared when all of the above are
equal.

SAFETY GUIDANCE FOR YOUNG PLAYERS
The England and Wales Cricket Board has issued new safety
guidance on the wearing of cricket helmets by young players
• It is recommended that a helmet be worn by young players
when batting and when standing up to the stumps when keeping
wicket against a hard cricket ball in matches and practice.
• A young player should not be able to bat or stand up to the
stumps when keeping wicket without a helmet against a hard
ball except with written parental consent. Coaches, teachers,
managers and umpires should always ensure that a young
player wears a helmet if this written parental consent has not
been received.
• Players should regard a helmet with a faceguard as a normal
item of protective equipment when batting against a hard ball,
together with pads, gloves and for boys, an abdominal protector
(box)
• There is a British Standard (BS7928:1998) for cricket helmets
and it is in the best interest of players to ensure that their
helmet conforms to this standard.
The ECB has also extended the existing regulations covering the
minimum fielding distances for young players in all matches
where a hard ball is used.
• No young player in the under 15 age group or younger shall be
allowed to field closer than 8 yards (7.3 metres) from the
middle stump, except behind the wicket on the off side, until the
batsman has played the ball.
• For players in the under 13 age group and below the distance is
11 yards (10 metres)
• These minimum distances apply even if the player is wearing a
helmet.
• Should a young player in these age groups come within the
restricted distance the umpire must stop the game immediately
and instruct the fielder to move back.
• In addition any young player in the under 16 to under 18 age
groups, who has not reached the age of 18, must wear a helmet
and, for boys, an abdominal protector (box) when fielding within
6 yards (5.5 meters) of the bat, except behind the stumps on
the offside. Players should wear appropriate protective
Page 94
equipment whenever they are fielding in a position where they
feel at risk.
• These fielding restrictions are applicable to all cricketers in
England and Wales. Age groups are based on the age of the
player at midnight on the 31st August in the year proceeding the
current season.
OVERBOWLING
This is an important consideration especially for young bowlers
whose bodies are not fully developed. Recent studies have
revealed that over-bowling is the most common cause of back
injuries in this country.
Evidence suggests that much of the damage occurs early in the
playing career, and especially during growth spurts, though the
effects do not often show themselves until the late teens. The
more talented and more physically mature youngsters are
generally most at risk, as they tend to play at more than one age
group level.
To ensure that young fast* bowlers do not place undue stress on
their bodies, every attempt must be made to keep the amount of
bowling within reasonable limits. The following Directives provide
sensible playing and training levels.

These figures are based on players bowling in no more than 3
matches or practice sessions per week for age groups up to and
including U-15, and 4 matches or practice sessions per week for
age groups up to and including U-19. Players can play in other
matches provided they do not bowl.
Having completed a spell the bowler cannot bowl again, from
either end, until the equivalent numbers of overs to the length of
her/his spell have been bowled from the same end. If play is
interrupted, for any reason, for less than 40 minutes any spell in
progress at the time of the interruption up to the maximum
number of overs per spell for the appropriate age groups.
If the spell is not continued after the interruption the bowler
cannot bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent number
of overs the length of her/his spell before 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,
s/he cannot exceed the maximum number of overs per day for
her/his age group even if s/he subsequently bowls spin. S/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 her/his spell have been bowled from the same end.
If s/he bowls spin without exceeding the maximum number of
overs in a spell the maximum will apply as soon as s/he reverts
to bowling fast.
* For the purpose of these guidelines a fast bowler should be defined as a bowler
to whom a wicket keeper in the same age group would in normal circumstances
stand back to take the ball.

NEW CRICKET HEAD PROTECTOR TESTING STANDARD
(More commonly known as the Helmet testing standard)
The ECB, PCA and the ICC have worked with BSi and head
protector manufacturers to develop a new specification for the
testing of head protection for cricketers. This specification has
recently been approved by BSi Group, which is the national body
responsible for producing appropriate safety standards in the UK.
With cricketers and bowling machines able to deliver cricket balls
at high speeds, and given the obvious importance of protecting
against head injuries wherever possible, head protectors are an
essential part of a cricketer’s kit.
It is important that individuals understand how the new
specification will apply to head protectors on sale from
Spring/Summer 2014.
The key features of the new specification, BS7928:2013, are:
1 it now includes a facial contact projectile test that assesses for
penetration of the ball through the faceguard, and contact of the
faceguard onto the face, using realistic ball impact speeds and
conditions; and
2. head protectors have been tested separately against men’s and
junior sized cricket balls (a five-and-a-half ounce ball and a fourand-three-quarter ounce ball, respectively).
Head protectors that have been tested against the new standard
will be clearly labelled with “BS7928:2013” and will contain clear
labelling setting out whether a head protector has been tested
against (i) men’s standard ball size of 5 ½ ounces, (ii) junior
standard ball size of 4 ¾ ounces, or (iii) both men’s and junior
size balls.
The manufacturers have advised that there is currently no specific
women’s head protector and so there is no specific standard for
women’s cricket head protectors. As the size of the standard
women’s cricket ball is between the standard men and junior
balls, it is recommended that women use head protectors that
have been tested against both the men’s and junior sized ball or
at least against the junior size ball (as the smaller ball could
potentially get through the gap above the face guard on a men’s
head protector).
From 30 June 2014, the old BSI standard for cricket head
protectors (BS7928:1998) will be withdrawn and the ECB
therefore recommends that all new head protectors brought to
Page 98
market are tested against the new standard. However, head
protectors which have already been tested against the old
standard can and will continue to be available for sale and will not
be withdrawn from the market.
In light of this, the ECB has issued this guidance to ensure that
the public understands the meaning and merits of the new
specification (and consequent labelling that will soon be
introduced) and therefore to enable the public to make an
informed decision as to which head protector to use.
Finally, whilst the ECB considers that head protectors are an
essential part of a cricketer’s kit to mitigate the risk of injury, it
must be remembered that wearing a head protector and
faceguard (whether or not it has been tested against the new
standard) cannot always prevent death, injury or disability
