Lincolnshire County Cricket League Handbook 1981

7. PROMOTION/RELEGATION This shall be on a two-up, two~own basis between the divisions. No team shall be eligible for promotion to a higher division if their Club al.ready has a team in that division, or a team due for relegation to that division. No team finishing lower than third in its division shall be granted promotion. A first (or second) team which is relegated deems that their second (or third) team shall also be relegated if the second (or third) team is in the division immediately below the first (or second) team, regardless of the finishing position of the second (or third) team unless the second (or third) team qualifies for promotion, in which case both teams shall remain static. Should the occasion arise where none or only one of the first three teams in a division can be promoted, then, similarly, none or only one of the teams in the division above shall be relegated. The two bottom teams in Division 3 shall apply for re-election to the League, together with any new applicants at the time of the AGM. The total votes cast for each club shall be made known to their respective secretaries either on that evening or within one week of the A.G.M. If a Qub has a team in Division 3, and another team from the same Qub is relegated to Division 3, then the team already in Di.vision 3 shall be removed from the League. Triple Tie: should three Qubs finish level for promotion or relegation, the winner shall be: a) The team with most wins b) If there are an equal number of wins, the team with the most winning draws (scoring 9 or 7 points in a drawn match). c) Any situation not covered by these arrangements shall be decided by the Officers of the League. 8. GENERAL The Committee shall have the power to deal with any matter which may arise affecting the League which is not provided for in these Rules. ' 44
