 . 

1.      New batsmen must be ready for the next ball within 60 seconds of the fall of the wicket. 

2.      Bowling teams will be penalized for slow over rates. If, after 80 mins, the 20th over has not started then the batting team is awarded 5 penalty runs. 5 extra runs for each over the bowling team is behind. This applied to both the 1st and 2nd innings. 

3.      Any matches terminated at 16:30 are decided by DLS method. 

Late Teams / Rain:

1.      If a team does not have 7 players at the start time, (13:30 for pm games), that team shall incur a 1 point penalty and forfeit 1 over for every 4 mins they are late (from match start time 13.30) until they are ready for the first ball to be bowled. 

2.      Unless contacted by a staff of the YC&AC Sports Operations or a member of the SKCA Committee to say that the fields are unavailable, please consider the game to be ON. If not sure, umpires / captains are requested to contact with YC&AC using the contacts below, 1-2 hours before the game start time to ascertain conditions. The umpires and captains, in consultation with the YC&AC Sports Operations Staff will make a decision on the game. 

 

Balls Over the Net

1.      To mitigate the risks of balls flying over the net, the balls will be bowled one-way, from the south side to the clubhouse side.

2.      If a ball goes over the net, umpires MUST immediately inform a member of the YC&AC staff at the Front Desk

If no one can be found at the front desk, call the sports operations staff (contact details at the bottom)

When the staff arrives, inform the staff of the estimated location/direction of the ball

3.      Penalties for balls being hit over the net are as follows:

•         1st player in an innings = Player OUT, Team (minus) – 10 runs,

•         2nd player in an innings = players OUT, team (minus) – 10 runs

•         3rd player (or more) = same as above, but (minus) – 20 runs

 

YC&AC Facility / Behaviour Reminders

•         Only use the Guest Entrance, which is the gate just past the children’s playground. Do NOT use the front / members’ entrance. Guests may also use the back entrance, using the footpath near the tennis courts. 

•         We may NOT use the member parking near the front entrance. Please use the parking near the tennis courts.

•         Only the changing room / toilets inside the Sports Bar are for guest use. Do NOT use the toilets / changing rooms in the members only area. 

•         Captains will be responsible for the behavior and etiquette of their players. Please uphold high standards of behavior ON and OFF the pitch. Swearing (in any language) and bad behaviour will not be tolerated.  

•         No throw downs or warm-ups can be done once each innings starts. Any warm up or throw downs before each innings can be done on the main field, at least 30m away from their spectator tent, scorers tables, footpath, playground etc.

•         Boundaries are the sidelines of the soccer field on 3 sides, and the net on the tennis court side.

# Please note, again – the YC&AC management, independent of SKCA, reserves the right to either temporarily or permanently ban individuals or entire teams for any inappropriate behavior or incidents that may occur on or off the pitch at the YC&AC facilities.
