Bassetlaw and District Cricket League Official Handbook 2017

62  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.  When a late registration is submitted and subsequently rejected, this will  result  in the player(s) being deemed as unregistered and the sanction advised under  Rule 5.6(iii) will apply.  (iv) Using the registration timescales stipulated in Rule 5.5(i) b), clubs are to ensure  that the player does not play until their registration is confirmed by the Player  Registrar.  5.6 Sanctions and Appeals  (i)  Clubs found to be in serious breach of regulations in respect with Player  Registration will be dealt with at the discretion of the LMC.  (ii)  Clubs playing ineligible player(s) will retain no points from the game and will  incur a £10.00 fine for each ineligible player.  Their opponents will be awarded  the maximum points available.  In the event of both teams playing ineligible player(s), their own penalties will  apply.  Neither team will benefit from the award of any additional points as a  result of its opponents’ misdemeanour.  Further point deductions may be imposed and financial penalties levied at the  discretion of the LMC.
