Bassetlaw and District Cricket League Official Handbook 2016

60 (v) If any player leaves a club who is not transferring to another club, and has no outstanding financial issues or disciplinary matters, his registration should be cancelled by the club without any unnecessary delay. If any player leaves a club and has outstanding financial issues or disciplinary matters, his registration should remain until such time that those issues are resolved. 5.5 Timescales (i) Clubs will need to ensure that all new players are registered within the following timescales: a) Category 1 Players, who are to be registered to play for clubs in Division 1 and below, and all Cup Competitions, are to have their registrations submitted and accepted prior to the first match they play. In exceptional circumstances, and at short notice, a player may be registered to play by contacting the BDCL Help Desk BEFORE the start of the match, providing the basic details for the player (full name, address and date of birth). The player must then have their registration submitted and accepted within 48 hours of the conclusion of the match. b) All other players, who are to be registered to play for eligible clubs, are to have their registrations submitted by midnight, on the Thursday prior to the match in which they will first play. c) Any player in the U12 age group and below will not be registered within this League, unless compliant with Rule 5.1(iv). (ii) It is recommended, in order to reduce the possibility of sanctions that ALL player registrations are submitted (with accompanying documentation where stipulated) and those registrations have been accepted, before any player participates in any match. It is also recommended that no player born outside of the UK plays until their registration has been accepted by the Player Registrar, unless the club are in possession of documentation which shows the player’s entitlement to them being registered under Category 1, and this documentation is sent to the Player Registrar no later than midnight on the day of the match. Clubs should be aware that it may not be possible to contact the Player Registrar with any queries relating to player registration after 3 hours before the scheduled start time. If any club is unsure about the status of any player or has any queries, the player should not play. (iii) Using the registration timescales stipulated in Rule 5.5(i) a), clubs are to be aware that there is no guarantee that a registration will be accepted. It is imperative that the club is aware of the player’s past registration history, and whether they may have any outstanding financial issues or disciplinary matters which would delay or deny a player’s registration.
