RULE CHANGES
Proposed wording for rule changes confirmed at the AGM:
All games to commence with a pink ball. If the supply of pink balls is exhausted then red balls may be used.
In the lowest division, a wide ball shall not be rebowled but two additional runs (on top of any scored from byes) shall be awarded. This does not apply in the final over.
Teams may, if they wish, apply to the League to play in coloured kit. Their application will only be successful if guarantees are met. One such condition being that only players wearing the prescribed kit may take the field. Failure in this regard may attract penalties.
The League will establish social media connections.
All teams must register their result (scores) on Playcricket by midnight on the Sunday after the game.
NEW COMPETITION the following were aired for future discussion.
- Statistic trophy. From submitted scores on play cricket reference this league, league matches only, the total number of runs scored divided by the number of wickets lost.
- All in cup competition with an open draw.

At this time the league will allocate umpires to matches. From that point on it is for the teams and umpires to communicate any subsequent changes and make the necessary arrangements.
