By-Laws

Preamble: This rule is intended to apply to matches played in one-day fixtures only, including fixtures played in one-day only grades.

a. A player must take part in at least four (4) days of fixtured one-day matches, including one-day only grades with his club to be eligible for mid season one-day finals. Should the season be shortened due to unforeseen circumstances the Executive may restate the number of qualifying days.

b. Qualification for finals: Qualification for the one-day mid-season final shall only apply to matches played in a one-day fixture, including one-day only grades. No days played in any two-day fixture shall be considered. No player shall play in a lower grade final unless he has played the majority of days in that grade or lower. For the purpose of this rule the term “majority” means more than half

c. Any one-day matches played after the last fixtured one-day game in a two-day grade willnot be added to a player’s qualification days played for that grade. On some occasions a two-day grade will have different date due to extra one-day fixtures for that grade. For any uncertainty Bylaw 33.f should be followed.

d. Only in the event that a club has teams in consecutive grades within that clubs structure, in a finals match on a particular day: If a player has qualified with the club in the higher grade but is not selected to play in that team, he may be considered for selection in the next grade regardless of the number of qualifying matches he has played in that grade. A player playing in a Two-Day grade may drop down to their next Two-Day grade within their club structure or the next One-Day grade as outlined in By-Law 11a. Such a player may continue to play in the lower team for the duration of the final matches. Players may only drop down one grade when these special conditions apply. Once a team is eliminated in a final no player from that grade may be relegated to a lower grade unless covered by By-Law 41.a and 41.b

e. Players may come up from lower grades, providing By-Law 33.a is met.

f. Clubs are encouraged to submit any players whose qualification may not be certain to the Association Administrator for a ruling as to eligibility. A ruling made by the Administrator under this rule shall be binding and final on all parties.
