Hi Glads,

The most awaited NECA season is finally here and our first game is officially scheduled for this Saturday(6/6/15). 

Before we go to the game I want you guys to know some mandatory things that you need to remember for the whole season.

Schedule:
We have 3 Groups this year and each group has 7 teams each. We have a total of 8 games (4 Home and 4 Away). We will play 6 Round Robin games within the group and 2 games outside the group. 

You can find the complete schedule at: http://neca2020.org/schedule

Rules and Regulations:
Overstep No ball = 1 Run
Height No-ball = No Run (Can score runs of the bat or as a bye)
Leg bye = Dot ball (Can get stumped)
Back foot or Side crease no-ball = 1 Run
No power plays or Field Restrictions (ICC Rule: Except for 5 fielders on legside including the bowler)

Discipline on Field:
I have complete faith in my team that we are going to play a Gentlemen's game and refrain from
1. Abusive language on field.
2. Not being on-time to the games.
3. Drinking on field.
4. Criticize our own players during the game.

Its always the Captain who will take the decisions on field and everyone needs to obey it. If you have a problem talk to the captain and resolve it.
Field set: No body except the Captain along with bowler can set the field during the game.

Must get on Gameday:
1. Game Day Fee: We are collecting 10$ per home game (Total 4) and 5$ per Away game (Total 4). All the playing 11 should get it and hand over to Sunil BT. We use this money to pay for the Ground, Drinks and kit maintenance.
2. Team Jersey.

Above all we play as a team, win as a team or loose as a team. Its more important to enjoy the game of cricket. Have fun and have great season ahead.

GO GLADIATORS!!!!!
