Competition Regulations, 2008
Siddalls South West Cup 2008: the rules for this competition are now available, from here.
National League 2008: A Reminder of Key Documents (refreshed & re-presented on 5th May)
1. The Match Day Actions document for 2008 is accessible from here (click). This is a much slimmed-down version of what teams in other regions have to go through......
2. Document n° 1 makes reference to the Feuilles de Match. Page 1 is what you need to get used to and complete (see here). The remaining pages (2-5) are there as reminders of what we would have to complete if ever we abused our local freedom....
3. New for 2008! The new pitch markings (click here) that are mandated for this year's 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!
4. The English-language version of the regulations for the National League 2008, produced and approved for ACCSO clubs and umpires, can be viewed from here (click).
5. The original document in French (the official language of France Cricket) is the reference point in any debate or dispute (a rarity chez nous!): from here.
6. France Cricket's Code of Conduct, in French and in English, applies to all competition games in season 2008. Captains and umpires are asked to refresh their memories of the sorts of issues which can arise and let us all work to ensure that our game in the south-west never has recourse to any of these measures.
Also of permanent relevance: the dreaded subject of licences, now navigated by all, some with less serenity than others......
The guides to the new software-based licensing process are on the federal site under the tab of Textes Officiels, section 15. Exceptionally, both of these documents are made accessible from here: but please do not blame your Secretary if they are updated in between times: the original version is always the most current!
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.
One piece which should not vary much, if at all, is this table of licence fees.
For the record, earlier items included the two key entry forms for the National League which all ACCSO clubs completed. Form 1 (click here) is your commitment to abide by the rules and to pay up the 50 euro entry fee; while form 2 (click here) is the list of pre-requisites to be observed.
Design objective for this section: a single repository of authoritative docs, via links.
