Umpires
We have implemented a fair play report that needs to be completed after every match by the officials on the day. Should there be any disputes during the match, umpires should convene to sort out the issue. If the dispute cannot be resolved play should continue and these matters brought to the attention of the league administrators to sort out. If umpires and/or players are receiving verbal abuse from players or parents these incidences need to be noted and the league administrators need to know about it as soon as soon as possible. Should a ball be hit and not found, a quick and decisive call needs to be made by both umpires to introduce a new ball into the game (do not delay). Should there be a long delay due to this, the umpire that delays the match will be dealt with after proceedings and no penalties would be applied to the team affected by this incident. During the power play (first 6 overs), only 2 fielders may be on the boundary. There are no inner ring markings so umpires need to monitor this (players may be mid-way to the boundary). After the 6 overs, 5 players are allowed outside the inner circle. The coin toss needs to have both team captains and both match officials present to witness the coin toss and to ensure that it has been conducted fairly. The coin toss must be done 15 mins before play starts and teams should be ready to take the field the minute the proceeding match finishes. Start times should always be noted by BOTH match officials. If a team has started an over before time has expired, they can complete that over. Penalties need to be noted and league administration needs to be made aware of it. Umpires should keep captains in check with time every 5 overs to ensure that matches are run on time. If a match finishes earlier than anticipated on the schedule the next match should NOT start sooner to make up time. The fixtures should run according to the SET schedule.
Parent Conduct
- Umpire or player abuse will be dealt with by league administrators. If any parent is found to have verbally abused or physically abused or laid a threat to players or match officials, the league administrators have right of admission and will either remove, suspend or expel the parents at their own discretion - Delfos and its schools accepts no liability for damages should they arise. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES may vehicles be parked or used to drop off items on a field - After your team has played a match, the coach/manager must ensure that ALL RUBBISH is picked up and disposed of. Failure to clean areas would result in Delfos implementing suspension from all competitions. - It is also requested that every coach/manager informs their respective parents to clean up after matches - Under no circumstances will parents be allowed on the field of play, unless a player is injured and the coach has asked for assistance Delfos reserves the right of admission for teams, parents, players and coaches/managers to participate in the Black Widow T20 tournament Delfos accepts no liability for damages, injuries, deaths or damage to property.
