2008/09 Playing Regulations

Friday, August 8th, 2008

New regulations are now available on the Support Docs page.

For those familiar with SSJCA Regulations there are no changes to the effect of any existing regulation other than those listed below which have changed since last season as a result of our normal review process.

NOTE of CAUTION:

These regulations are still under review. They will be finalized at the next Delegates meeting on 9th September.

  • Regulation 7.1 (Close Fielding) may come under review at the next Delegates Meeting
  • Regulation 10.1.3 (Association Awards) may come under review at the next delegates meeting
  • Regulation 9 (Code of Conduct) is currently being reviewed

Changes since the 2007-08 Season

  • Regulation 2.4.5 (The Boundary) now permits the scoring of a 6, in Traditional and Modified
  • Regulation 3.2.4 (Playing 3 Games in a Higher Age or Grade) has been changed so that when a player plays 3 matches in the Sydney Grade Competition then they should remain in that Competition.
  • Regulation 3.3 (The Toss) has been changed to state that the toss should occur between 30 and 10 minutes before the start of the match
  • Regulation 3.4.2 (Requesting a 1-day Match Due to Insufficient Players) has been added to permit a request for a 1 day match rather than forfeit the full match.
  • Regulation 3.12 (Breaches Arising from Matches) has now been broadened to distinguish between technical breaches and Code of Conduct. The protocol for managing disputes is now formalized in these regulations.
  • Regulation 4.3 (Loss of Time on Day One) has been changed to permit extensions to a 1st innings for reasons other than the weather and the field.
  • Regulation 7.1 (Close fielding) has been changed to permit fielding within 10 metres, with protective equipment, for Under 16, 14A, 14B and 12A.
