Rules & Playing Conditions - The John J. Mallen t20 Cup Competition Document G P a g e | 2 4 Qualification & Registration of Players Clubs are encouraged to utilise Rule 5, Document D to fulfil fixtures where required. 4.1 No player who has played for a club in the competition is eligible to play for another club in the competition in the same season. 4.2 A player with an NPL club shall not be eligible if they have played most of their Saturday cricket in that League during the current season. For the avoidance of doubt, only League matches will be included in this calculation. 4.3 Any such breach will result in the player(s) being deemed as ineligible. 5 Match Balls Each club should be provided with one pink ball for use during the match. Should a pink ball not have been supplied, a red ball should be used which complies with Rule 8.1, Document B (‘All Other Matches’). Each club must provide used spare pink and/or red balls. All red balls are to comply with Rule 8.1, Document B (‘All Other Matches’) and be in sufficient quantity to minimise time lost during the innings. All spare balls are to be placed in a suitable container, which is to be stored at the side of the pitch, ideally by the scorer, for ease of supply. 6 Umpires & Scorers 6.1 In all games, each team shall provide a competent scorer. 6.2 All games are required to be scored electronically by the home team, using the ECB’s Play-Cricket Scorer (Laptop or Tablet). Failure to comply with any part of this rule will result in a sanction as determined by the League Management Committee. 6.3 Each appointed Umpire shall, not later than the end of the interval, be paid match expenses of £25.00. In the event of only one registered League Umpire being appointed, or turning up for a match, and that Umpire takes the bowling end throughout the match, they shall be paid £35.00. Following the arrival of both teams and the Umpire(s) at the ground, should there be no play in the game, and, should prevailing ground, weather, and light conditions allow, a bowl out takes place to determine a winner, each Umpire shall be paid match expenses of £15.00. The cost of the Umpire(s) is to be shared by both clubs.
