3.4 Clubs failing to agree on Re-arrangement of Fixture(s). All fixtures are subject to the explicit permission of the LCCL Management Committee. After the January Meeting permission will only be granted for a re-arrangement within the seasons boundaries as long as both teams are agreeable and the application is made at least 7 days before the previous due date. If application is made within 7 days it will only be granted in wholly exceptional circumstances. If at any time the two clubs fail, the Committee will decide when and where a fixture is to be played. Any club not able to play on the date stipulated by the Management Committee will be punished according to Rule 3.3. 4 Players 4.1 Registration. A player may only be registered for one club except when the LCCL is made aware that the player is playing for another club deemed to be in a Sunday or Midweek League. To register a player the club shall enter the full details of the player on the Play Cricket website. The Play Cricket website registration requires the players FULL NAME (including forename, middle names and surname), birthdate, full home address and other contact details for LCCL approval. A registration should be completed prior to the game. However if a player has not been registered then a player may play providing the Team Captain informs the Umpire(s) and Opposition Team Captain on the day of the game and then registers that player on the Play Cricket website within 24hrs of the game. It must be emphasised that retrospective or match-day registration may not meet LCCL approval. If subsequently discovered that rules 4.3 and/or 4.4 may have been infringed then the player is ineligible. Any club using a player in a LCCL or Cup match whose registration has not been completed on the Play Cricket system within 24hrs of the conclusion of any game shall be deemed to have fielded an ineligible player under rule 4.4. By completing the LCCL / Play Cricket registration process a player and his/ her club declare that he/ she has read the ECB Code of Conduct and agrees to be bound by, and operate within Its' requirements. 4.2 Transfers.
