Re-Posted 20090404: The playing of youngsters in senior matches is a very important subject. The relevant rules and regulations for competitive games are brought together in a single document - from here. Updated 20090404 to show effective start & expiry dates of surclassements.
This document also provides guidance on how to proceed in friendly matches.
Much mention is made of the ECB Guidelines on the playing of youngsters in senior matches. Umpires already have these in their kitbags; it's time for others to be familiar with them. They cover the general question of selection (click here); the wearing of helmets (here); fast bowling (here); and fielding regulations (here).
Posted 20080223: The rules for the Indoor tournaments to be held on 8th Match at St Astier and at Lisle-sur-Tarn have been published. Available from here. It has been decided that these tournaments do not form part of a national competition and so the regulations on the playing of youngsters have been relaxed.
There has been a change at the Fédération: Gilles Bizot has been replaced by Julie MARTIN. She has retained Gilles' phone number and e-mail address.
A reminder that the guides to the software-based licensing process are on the federal site under the tab of Textes Officiels, section 15. Exceptionally, copies of both of these documents are made accessible from here: but in case of doubt the original FFBS version is always the authoritative version.
The "guide_d'utilisation" tells you how to download the software and set about using it;
The "guide_de_prise_de_licences" walks you through the process, and the new version for 2009 also includes the current-year table of licence fees.
New pitch markings (click here) are mandated for League games to implement the new rules on off-side wides, as per para. 3.11 of the regulations. Groundsmen and umpires to take note!
Design objective for this section: a single repository of authoritative docs, via links.
