| 2018-10-31: Following email has been sent to all clubs.....
All Open T-20 teams
As a result of all the rain we have had in the past month majority of Open T-20 games have ended up in N/R. The EC has had numerous Open T-20 2 teams approaching us to share their opinions about the situation and the fairness to all teams who have entered the tournament with many of them playing only 1 out of their 5 games that were scheduled.
The EC has discussed this issue and unanimously decided to change the tournament format as stated below. We have tried to be fair to all teams, the teams that are topping the pool as well teams that have not played more than one game.
We also had to take in to account the shortage of ground availability we are facing at this time of the year. Hence, taking all these factors in to consideration the EC has decided on the below change in tournament format:
Top 4 teams (Rankings Image attached) will automatically qualify for Quarterfinals.
The top 4 teams are:
1. PCC Sloggers
2. Inzi 329
3. DCC T20
4. NDCC JPC
The next 16 teams will also be ranked 5 to 20 and will play 2 rounds of knockout between themselves.
1st knockout round - 8 teams out of the 16 qualify (They maintain their rank given above) for 2nd knockout round
2nd knockout round - 4 teams out of the 8 qualify for Quarterfinals (New ranking will be given 5 to 8)
Quarterfinal - 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7, 3 vs 6 & 4 vs 5 ranks (1 to 4 and 5 to 8 rankings will be maintained henceforth)
Semifinal - 4 teams from quarterfinal
Finals - 2 teams from Semifinals
Schedule has been uploaded to cricclubs. Please Note: Due to limited ground availability teams playing each other might end up playing at neutral venues or may have to play back to back.

| 2018-04-19: See below message from NTCA President Lovkesh Khalia that has been sent to all clubs....please follow up with your club pco/sco to make sure you are registered and also your club. Dear Club Members: Hope this email finds you all in the middle of a great season. We recently communicated and requested your attention to completing membership registration with USA Cricket. It is extremely important that you as clubs/individual members complete your registration process ASAP. As of yesterday, the response has not been great, please see below for details. I would like to emphasize the need for us to complete this task ASAP as this could affect us in several ways (Please see below) and hence portraying our league in a negative light. It is our sincere request that you please initiate the following 2 steps ASAP:
Last date for registration: April 24th For any help or assistance, please contact: Syed Shahanawaz (Syed4@hotmail.com)
Insurance Info, note below from USA Cricket: Individuals are covered by a Secondary Sports Accident policy that carries a limit of $25,000 per incident with a $500 deductible. I’ve heard the deductible is much cheaper than those policies that are in place with the few leagues that offer this coverage.
-For the General Liability policy, $1,000,000 of coverage with certs of liability, including for additional insureds, issued electronically.
One caveat to the above is that we are billed for both policies on a per member charge. In order for USA Cricket to issue a Cert of Liability that covers the whole League, we need most, if not all, of the League players to join USA Cricket. For example, I can’t in good faith issue a cert of liability for a League that I know has 100 teams and 1200 players if they only have 3 clubs and 36 players registered with USA Cricket. In that scenario, the cert of liability would cover the risk associated with 100 teams and 1200 players while the premium paid would cover 3 teams and 36 players. Not only is that unethical but it would likely be considered insurance fraud as well given that the premium paid doesn’t align with the risk accepted. Please do look into this request as urgent, appreciate your help in completing this ASAP. Note: Attached spreadsheet with information regarding clubs/members who have already registered.
Thanks,
Lovkesh |
