motions 8.2, 8.3. 8.4, 8.14
8 - Rule-changing motions (previously circulated,
these are proposed motions, they each need seconding before they can be debated)
8.1
- NEW TEAMS (proposed by
PACIFIC)
That
any new league side must have already previously played in the cup OR that they
have previously played against a current league side who can sponsor their
application, one of whom must attend the new side's 1st game & report to the
committee thereafter.
8.2
- TEAMS 9-A-SIDE, GAMES 18 OVERS
(OLD FALLOPIANS)
Increase
the number of players to 9-a-side, and the number of overs to 18 per innings, to
allow more players from a club’s squad to play mid-week games.
8.3
- LEAGUE STRUCTURE (PACIFIC)
That
the league continue the 2004 fixture structure (ie Super6s/7s). The fixtures to
be based on the final standings of 2004.
8.4
- TWO SEPARATE DIVISIONS
(CALEDONIAN CONQUERORS)
The
league to be played in two separate divisions.
8.5
- UMPIRES (TOWER RAVENS)
One
independent umpire to be provided for each match from the opposite pitch.
8.6
- FULL-PITCHED DELIVERIES
(PACIFIC)
Following
a pre-match conversation between the Captains of Pacific & Reuters,
ratification that the no ball law referring to full pitched deliveries are as
they are in the current laws i.e.. a no ball is called when a bowler who is not
slow (ie.the keeper standing back!) is above waist which also means the bowler
is given his 1st warning. On the 2nd occasion when no ball is called against the
same bowler, the bowler is warned & the Captain advised. On the 3rd
occasion, a no ball is called & the bowler withdrawn from the attack. This
is the same with a slow bowler (i.e. the keeper standing up) full pitches over
shoulder height to the batsman.
8.7
- BATSMEN RETIRE AT 25 (TOWER
RAVENS)
Further
reduce the retirement score for batsmen to 25 from 50 to make the league more
competitive and to get more people involved in the game.
8.8
- CUP-BATSMEN RETIRE AT 50
(PACIFIC)
That
all the same league rule applies in cup i.e.. for batters to retire at 50.
8.9
- LIMITED BOWLING RUN UPS
(TOWER RAVENS)
Limit
bowlers run ups to 8 steps (as in the old 40 over league) thereby saving time
and helping to ensure matches are completed in fair and safe light.
8.10
- TEAMS CRYING OFF (PACIFIC)
That
any team who fail to fulfil a fixture are charged the full cost of the pitch in
addition to forfeiting the match.
8.11
- NAMES OF PLAYERS (PACIFIC)
That
all teams submit the full names of those playing at the same time as passing the
result to the Webmaster.
8.12
- CUP-PLAYER ELIGIBILITY
(PACIFIC)
That
any player playing for a non-league side in the cup is not allowed to play for
any other side in the cup.
8.13
- TROPHIES (PACIFIC)
That
all clubs respect the trophies they have won & ensure they are looked after.
That they are fully engraved & when requested by the Committee are returned
on time. Failure of any Club to ensure this could result in their expulsion.
8.14
- SUPER 6 SECOND ROUND GAMES
(PACIFIC)
That
2nd phase games' dates can be moved by application & mutual agreement.
Teams
have 7 days after the last 1st phase matches to contact the Fixture Secretary
who will be sole arbitrator in the event of a disagreement.
8.15
- ONE-DAY TOURNAMENT (TOWER
RAVENS)
Proposal
for a VPCCL one day tournament (on a Saturday or Sunday) between the league
teams. The matches could be in a 10
over slog format with the emphasis being on a fun/family day to promote the
league especially in light of it's recent award.
Obviously the logistics are slightly more difficult at a weekend given a
lot of players may already be playing but possibly a suitable date could be
found.
9
- NON-RULE CHANGING MOTIONS:
(again, these all need seconding before debate)
9.1
- DISCIPLINARY PROCEDURE
(PACIFIC)
To
set up a working party or volunteer to lay out & ratify a formal
disciplinary procedure based on previous rulings
9.2
- BATSMEN SHOULD WALK

To
encourage & remind all teams that within the spirit of the league that
batsmen who edge or know they are out should not expect their own team mates to
adjudicate but make the decision themselves.
9.3
- REMINDER (PACIFIC)
To
remind all teams that if a batsman is totally genuine that he was given out
incorrectly, the fielding Captain has the option to recall him if he should deem
so fit.
