All divisions will be limited to fifty (50) overs. 6. Premier Division teams will continue to use four (4) piece balls. Other Divisions will have a choice of either 2 or 4 Piece Balls. 7. All teams must completely fill out their game cards, signed and submitted to the official umpire. The umpire is responsible for submitting the game cards to the league. Failure to ensure this is completed within all guidelines specified by the league would result in penalties against the officiating umpire (s) and teams involved (See bylaw 1 and 8). 8. All completed game cards are the responsibility of the officiating umpire(s) for submission to the respective Division statistician. (See 2002 Amendment) 9. The official score board at the Centennial facility must be utilized by both teams without any exemptions 10. The matches will consist of one innings per side. Each inning will be limited to fifty (50) overs. All matches start at 12:30pm and conclude at 7:50pm (from May to August). The team batting first will stop at 4:00pm (unless fielding team fails to bowl fifty overs. Interval will be twenty (20) minutes 11. All teams are expected to complete bowling fifty (50) overs within the allotted time (3.5 Hours). Two water breaks of five (5) minutes each is included per team. 12. In a match where play is delayed during the innings of the team batting first, the calculation of the total numbers to be bowled by each team shall be determined by deducting one (1) over eight (8) minutes lost due to weather conditions For example, eighty minutes (80) lost due to rain will reduce the match to forty (40) overs. (80/8 = 10 overs loss) The team batting first will now stop at 2:50pm. 13. If play is suspended during the innings of the team batting second, the calculation of the number of overs to be bowled by the scheduled close of play will be determined at one (1) over for every four (4) minutes of lost play. 14. If the team fielding first fails to bowl the allotted overs in the specified time, they will continue to bowl until they have done so (the over in progress at this time will be counted as complete). They will however bat only the amount of overs bowled at the schedule time of stop (i.e., 47 overs bowled at 4:00pm. Only 47 overs will be allowed to the defaulting team). 15. If, at the schedule close of play, the allotted number of overs has not been completed by the team bowling second, play will continue past the time, until the allotted numbers have been bowled or the umpire determines that the playing conditions are unsuitable to continue. The team with the better run rate will be declared the winner. 16. The team batting second will not bat a greater number of overs than the team batting first, unless the team was dismissed before the completion of fifty (50) overs and provided they have not lost overs due to late start. 17. If, at the schedule time of play, a team does not have at least seven (7) players (dressed in white and ready to play) they will lose one (1) over of batting time for every four (4) minutes of play lost. The host team must have the wicket and out field properly marked, also. A team that loses overs due to a late start will only bat the reduced number of overs, even if they bowl the opponent out. Example # 1: Late Start due to late team Team A is twenty (20) minutes late for play The run rate of the team batting first will be calculated by dividing the total runs scored by the number of overs bowled at the scheduled close of the innings (i.e., at 4:00pm fielding team has completed 47 overs, at this time the score is 187 runs). At fifty(50) overs, which must be bowled unless it is reduced by bad weather, the score is 207 runs. The run rate is calculated at 207/47 and not 207/50 18. Should a captain declare before fifty (50) overs, his run rate will be calculated as if his team received fifty (50) overs. 19. If the innings of the team batting first ends more than thirty (30) minutes prior to the scheduled stop time, a ten (10) minute break will be taken and the second team will start its innings. Lunch will be taken at the schedule time (4:00pm). If the innings end within thirty (30) minutes of stop time, lunch will be taken immediately. 20. If a game starts at fifty (50) overs match, bowlers will be allowed to bowl ten (10) overs even if the game is later reduced to forty (40) overs due to poor conditions. 21. For the first fifteen (15) overs of each innings, at the instant of delivery, a minimum of nine (9) fielders, including the Wicket Keeper and Bowler, must be within the area bounded by two (2) thirty (30) yard radius semi-circle, drawn from the middle of the stump and joined by parallel lines on each side of the wicket. After the fifteen (15) overs have been bowled, a maximum of five (5) fieldsmen are allowed outside of the circle. No more than five (5) fieldsmen will be placed on the leg/pn side. The umpire will call and signal a no-ball when this rule is infringed. 22. A bowler who leaves the field due to external injury, as opposed to an internal one, will be allowed to bowl immediately upon his/her return, irrespectively of the time spent off the field. 23. Any high pitched ball that passes, or will have passed, on the full above the waist height of a batsman, standing upright at the crease, will be called a no-ball by the umpire at the non-strikers end. 2007 Amendment*: The defaults allowed for a club/team during a season were 3 games. This has now been amended by the below by-law governing defaults by member clubs/teams: ~ Teams defaulting one game will automatically incur a fine of $200, payable immediately before playing the next game. Failure to do so will disqualify them from participating further in the season. ~ The second defaulted game of the season will result in an automatic expulsion from the league. The league is not obligate to inform the defaulting team/club about this. For this context, "default" is applicable when a game does not take place due to non-availability of the players (7 players dressed and ready to take the field) from the defaulting club/team, and/or refusal of the club/team to take the field when instructed to do so (by the match official, or in absence of one, refusal to co-operate with the rival team to get the game underway by assigning umpires from the players). ~ If the first defaulted game of the season is one of the last 4 scheduled games of the team in that season, this will result in an automatic demotion to the lower division. Umpire Committe & Seminar (April 25th, 2004) This rule has been revoked and the MCC Rule will apply , as stated therein. 24. If a team fails to show up at forty (40) minutes after the scheduled start of play (12:30), they will have forfeited the match. Full points (10) will be awarded to the team present, provided that they have met the players condition (see #17) 1.

Until this is received, said Umpire will not be scheduled to umpire and League Games. 4. In any event where there is no League By-Law ,as an exception or supplement, the MCC Rules applies. 5.
