O.S.C.A. ECB U15 Twenty/20 Cup, 2017
All results and postponements must be sent to Peter Tubb, Text 07909-917151,
Winning team responsible for notifying result within 24 hours of game being played. Results not notified by deadline date will be treated as postponed games (see below). All results will appear in the Oxford Mail in schools section on Saturdays and on OSSA website.
In the event of postponement or abandonment for any reason both teams are responsible for notifying secretary of reason for this and re-scheduled date (or they may agree which team will notify). It is in the interests of teams to notify because games not played (or not notified including results not notified) will be scratched if delay is preventing the competition from progressing and games will only be awarded to one team or the other in circumstances when secretary has been made aware in advance of deadline date of problems in getting a match played. Teams will not be chased for results or information.
Playing Regulations:
1. All matches must be played by the deadlines. No matches may be rearranged to after a deadline without OSCA secretary’s agreement. Even after permission to play after a deadline, teams involved in that game may subject to exclusion at a later stage (before or after the game is played) if in the opinion of the secretary the delay has prevented competition progress.
This includes rain postponements so play games as far ahead of deadlines as possible.
2. The first-named school in each pairing shall be the home team and shall be responsible for match arrangements, including initial contact with its opponents. Winning schools must then make contact with their possible opponents immediately even if they are not the home team.
3. Each school shall provide one umpire and one scorer up to the semi-finals. The county final shall be organised by O.S.C.A. with neutral umpires, but schools must provide scorers.
4. All players must be registered pupils of the school and have been under 15 on 1st September, 2016.
5. Each innings shall be 20 overs No bowler may bowl more than 4 overs (min 5 bowlers needed).
6. Helmets should be worn by all batsmen and wicket keepers standing up and the E.C.B. directives and guidelines regarding young fast bowlers and fielding distances should be followed.
7. The side which scored the most runs shall be the winners but if the scores are level at the end, the winner shall be the side which a)lost the least number of wickets, b) had the highest scoring rate over the first 19 overs of its innings, then 18, etc. overs.
8. If weather curtails play, the winner will be the side with the higher number of runs per over at the conclusion of their innings, provided at least 5 overs have been bowled in each innings. If level then 4 overs then 3and so on as long as 5 overs completed in second innings. If weather intervenes teams may be asked to meet for a bowl out or toss a coin to decide outcome so allow a spare date before the deadline when making arrangements as deadlines will be strictly enforced or teams playing after deadline may be given a fixed date for the subsequent round chosen by opponents who have kept on schedule.
