If the points gained by an offending club in the relevant match exceeds the numbers of points deductible as aforesaid the club will have deducted the greater number of points. 22. The Captain (or Vice-Captain) of the home team shall represent his Club on the question of the “fitness of ground for play”. Home Clubs shall have the ultimate right to make decisions upon the fitness of their ground, but if the opposing team Captain (or Vice-Captain) insists, he can insist that both teams assemble at the venue for a late inspection to be made. In order to allow the opportunity for this right to be exercised, if the opposing Captain (or Vice- Captain) cannot be contacted for any reason, both teams must assemble at the venue. In the event of having informed the opposing club that play is not possible, but the away team insist upon travelling and no play takes place, then the AWAY team shall be responsible for paying both appointed umpires. In these circumstances, if the match is subsequently played then the HOME team shall be responsible for paying both appointed umpires. 96
