G'day All,
The below is some info I sent out today to the T/20 Clubs (from last year) with some details of what is proposed for this years competition. I welcome your feedback and thoughts. The BIG change from last year is that we move the comp from Wednesdays to Tuesdays, (with Wednesday being reserve days in case of rain on the Tuesday).
There was also an attachment with all the rules / comp design (updated version from last year) and my little "review" of each part of the comp. I have no idea how to attach that onto this forum, but if you would like to check it out, just email me at secretary@cludencricket.com and I will get a copy of it across to you.
Cheers....Andrew G (For the CMCA T/20 Sub Committee).

Dear CMCA Twenty/20 Clubs,
I would like to propose the following dates for the Twenty/20 competition for season 2011/12.
Rd#1 - Tuesday 8th Nov / (Wednesday 9th Nov backup day).
Rd#2 - Tuesday 15th Nov / (Wednesday 16th Nov backup day).
Rd#3 - Tuesday 22nd Nov / (Wednesday 23rd Nov backup day).
Semi - Tuesday 29th Nov / (Wednesday 30th Nov backup day).
Final - Tuesday 6th Dec / (Wednesday 7th Dec backup day).
I hope everyone is agreeable with these dates. It leaves us Tues 13th Dec (Wed 14th Dec) and Tues 20th
Dec (Wed 21st Dec) as reserve weeks if rain washes out both a Tues & Wed during the round robin or
finals stages.
So, the key difference we are looking at this year is having the competition on Tuesdays instead of Wed
(but having the Wed as a backup day if Tues is rained out). The feedback we have had from clubs is that
they would happily replace their Tues training for the T/20 game, and thus keep their Wednesdays for
their families etc. So, fair enough. If we all agree, then I will email out the changes we propose to the
clubs and get their feedback.
Other small changes I am thinking about:-
1) No retirements on 50 - lots of feedback to scrap this rule! So, lets scrap it.
2) Round robin games to begin at 5.20pm, instead of 5.15pm. Might make things just that little bit easier
for clubs to get all players together. Last year in the early rounds we just made the finish times with light
to spare - so am suggesting we put these early games back 5 mins. Any later and we have a potential light issue.
3) Finals games - start at 5.30pm, light is good then and we can facilitate more players / crowd numbers
by starting 15 mins later than last year. I believe this will work ok.
4) Umps fees - up to $55 from $50.
5) Entrance Fee - I have thought about $100 (as per last year), $110 or even $125 (which will give us a
nice round $2K for a 16 team competition).
Ok folks, there the main things I have been thinking about. Please let me know your thoughts on these
adjustments to the rules / fees etc.
Cheers....Andrew
