Saturday Finals Preparations

Feb 28, 2023

The finals are coming up.

  • Sunday 50 and Over 40 Final 5-Mar (Reserve 12-Mar)
  • Saturday Semi Finals 18+19-Mar
  • Saturday Grand Finals 25+26-Mar

Rules for selection of venues, playing hours, minimum overs for finals are described in Playing Regulation 35 for each competition. (See LINK below.)

 

Here are a few things to think about prior to finals.

1. ROUND RESULTS

  • Please make sure your results are up to date in MyCricket.
  • Making a Final is often a close points decision and a missing result could lead to an error.
  • You should expect to be asked to put match details promptly following the end of upcoming matches.
  • Also many trophies are decided by results at the end of the regular rounds.

 

2.PLAYER QUALIFICATION FOR FINALS

  • For Saturday teams, players must have played at least 4 matches to qualify for a Saturday final.
  • For Sunday teams, players must have played at least 3 matches to qualify for a Sunday final.

There are some exceptions (see Playing Regulation 35.5)

  • TIP 1: Please use the remaining round to ensure you qualify as many players as required. With 1 Round left you have some opportunity to make sure you have sufficient qualified players.
  • TIP 2: Make sure you have entered teams (even partly) for washouts and other call-offs. Each player entered this way COUNTS toward finals qualification. (However they will need to be added to the MyCricket appearance count manually.)
  • TIP 3: Players from lower grades with 4 matches are eligible.
  • TIP 4: Any player who has been replaced out or replaced in to a match (slash replacements or unexpected injury/rep/grade replacements) counts as a whole match.

3. PLAYER DOWNGRADES/TRANSFERS

  • In the regular rounds, players must follow Playing Regulation 4 and 5.
  • Player downgrades in finals are permitted but follow DIFFERENT rules. (See Playing Regulations 35.15-35.23)
