44 APPENDIX 3 THE EDINBURGH STANDARD FOR PITCHES
45 The Edinburgh Standard for Pitches The Edinburgh Standard for Pitches assesses the quality of sports pitches and the quality of changing facilities separately, The quality of sports pitches is assessed based on the following criteria:
0 Construction
0 Maintenance Grass Investment Topography Type and Level of Use Control Equipment A four-standard model is used under which pitch quality is graded as A, B, C or D, plus non-graded pitches.
Category A Pitches Criteria Definition 1 Construction Specially constructed pitches
marking, aeration/rolling, fertilising and ' weeding, after game reinstatement and use of a fallow period Coverage species; Perennial Rye Grass 98-99% ~ ! InvestmentVertical drainage/sand spread every 3 years
I Use 4 games per week, depending on the season 1 Control ' NO informal/casual use I ~~ ~ Equipment I 3 year cycle of renewal, regular maintenance and portable equipment if possible

The Edinburgh Standard for Pitches produces the following matrix by which to assess pitch and changing quality:
1 1 I BII 1 BIII 1 BN 1 K CII CIII CN DI DII , DIII 1 DN I
49 Based on the Edinburgh Standard for Pitches, the best quality sports pitch would be graded AI and the worst quality pitch would be graded DIII. To support the new pitch assessment model, the Edinburgh Standard for Pitches, maintenance has been defined which specifies two different levels of maintenance, a baseline and premium pitch maintenance specification. Baseline Pitch Maintenance Specification The minimum baseline specification is equivalent to maintaining a pitch at a category C level,
In addition to what already exists in the maintenance specification for Parks (points 3.2,A-3.2.C), the following will be added: Pitch Surface - white line service provided once a week Cutting -will cut the pitch on a performance basis-this is detailed in the information itself Fertiliser and Weed Control - annual fertiliser and weed control Slit tine and roll - both done twice a year, at the same time Re-seeding - all bare patches (e.g. holes in the goal mouth) to be filled in at the end of the season Equipment - goalposts painted annually Between game maintenance - at designated sites of heavy use Annual review of the pitch
Premium Pitch Maintenance Specification Slit tineing and rolling - upgrade once a month during the season Fertiliser and weed control -twice a year (Spring/Autumn) Re-seeding - end of season returfing/seeding of goal mouths, plus watering if necessary Vertical draining of sand pitches - every three years Reinstatement - four times a week
Specific maintenance requirements have been identified for cricket and synthetic pitches and floodlighting .
Cricket Pitches The above baseline specification is applicable for the outfield and boundary. For the cricket table, the specification changes and an A standard is required: The pitches are marked out, cut and rolled the Friday before each game, End of season reinstatement - lifting of ends and levelling of square For artificial wickets: Weekly brushing to keep the surface clean Properly checked at the end of the season
50 Synthetic Pitches Weekly sweeping Keep weeds of the outskirts Re-sanding when looking bare, complete re-sanding once a year
Floodlighting Regular annual inspection by competent electrician to examine lighting and pillars Light replacement on demand
