GENERAL 1:1 The League will organise Kwik cricket for Under 10's and competitions for age groupings, Under 11, Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17. Players to be under the appropriate age at midnight on 31st August prior to the playing season. N.B. Eligibility can be equated to school years. Kwik, year 5 and below; Incrediball and Hard Ball, year 6 and below; U13s year 8 and below; U15s, year 10 and below; U17s, year 12 and below. Where a player is not in their appropriate school year, then their date of birth will always take precedence over their school year. a) When a club enters two or more teams in the same age group, those teams must play their matches on the same night/day. b) Where clubs have entered two or more teams in one age group, they must nominate, on their Player Registration Form, six players (four players in eight-a-side games) to play in the 'A' team i.e. their best team, and those six / four players may not then play for any other side at that age group. 1:2 Whenever possible, matches shall be played on good grass pitches. Where an artificial pitch is used only occasionally, the home team manager must notify the opposition manager on a match by match basis. Where a club plays only on artificial pitches, this fact must be notified to the League for inclusion in the Annual Handbook. Spiked boots may not be worn on artificial pitches, except, should the home team manager fail to notify their opposition, the opposition shall be allowed to play in spiked boots. 1:3 The county's representative team for each of the national competitions shall be the winners of the Under 13's and Under 15's competitions. 1:4 Leicestershire age group players shall not be eligible to play in the Kwik or Incrediball competitions. 2.

PLAYING RULES 3:1 Except where otherwise provided for in these rules, all matches shall be played in accordance with the MCC Laws currently in use, except that for all age groups other than Under 17's, two runs shall be the penalty for a wide ball and a no ball and no extra delivery shall be bowled, except in the last over of an innings when the two run penalty shall still apply, but additional balls shall be bowled and four fielders must remain within a 30 yard circle at all times once competitions have reached District Final stage. 3:1a Any delivery, regardless of pace, which passes or would have passed on the full above waist height of the striker standing upright at the crease, shall be called and signalled as a no ball, whether or not it is likely to inflict physical injury on the striker. 3:2 In the first two weeks of the season, matches shall be of a maximum of 18 six ball overs per side. Thereafter, except as provided for in Rule 3:8c and 3:9b, all matches shall be of a maximum of 20 six ball overs per side. In both instances, the maximum number of overs may be reduced to a minimum of 12 six ball overs per side, through negotiation between the two managers. 3:3 The 20 overs must be completed within one and a quarter hours, subject to interruption by the weather. If a team fails to comply with this requirement it shall be reported to the Central Council, which may take any action considered appropriate. 3:4 Each bowler may bowl a maximum of four overs and no wicket keeper shall be allowed to bowl except in the case of injury to another bowler, during the game. This number shall be reduced pro-rata if the length of the game is reduced. If a bowler is unable to complete an over due to illness or injury, another bowler, who has not completed his quota, may complete the over. The number of balls left to be bowled shall count as a complete over for the replacement bowler. 3:5 A county wide cup competition with a group format shall precede the League competition at ages Under 13, 15 and 17. The draw for the cup will be made by the Central Council. a) The League competition will be played on a District basis with District winners playing for the county championship on a knock-out basis. b) Match days shall be decided at District level. Evening matches to start as soon as possible after 6.00pm., but no later than 6.30.

(If bowling takes place from one end only, the batters shall change ends at the end of an over). f) All methods of dismissal, excluding LBW, shall apply. g) The side scoring the most runs, after deductions for wickets lost, shall be the winner. In the event of a tied score, the team losing the fewer wickets shall be the winner. h) Only Kwik cricket equipment shall be used, except that a Reader's Windball shall be used at all times. 3:9 For Incrediball and Under 11 Hardball, the following special regulations shall apply:- a) Each team shall consist of eight players of Under 11 years of age. b) Each game shall consist of one innings per side. Each innings shall be of sixteen overs. c) The batting side shall be divided into pairs. Each pair shall bat for four overs. Pairs shall change at the end of the fourth, eighth and twelfth overs. d) Batsmen shall have unlimited 'lives' but each 'life' shall result in five runs being deducted from the total. No batsman who is out for any reason shall face the next ball. Batsmen shall change ends at the fall of each wicket, except on the last ball of an over. e) Each player except the wicket keeper must bowl. No player may bowl more than 3 overs. A player who keeps wicket for some of the innings shall be limited to 2 overs only. f) Each team shall commence its innings with a total of 200 runs. g) The winning team shall be the team scoring the higher number of runs after deductions for the fall of wickets is made. During the League programme, if a match ends with the scores equal, the result shall be called a tie and 3 points awarded to each team. In the knockout stages of the competition, in the event of scores being equal, the eight players from each side shall take it in turns to bowl at the wicket from the bowlers' end and the team scoring the most hits is the winner. h) In the event of the umpires being satisfied that a player is incapacitated, his place may be taken by a reserve who shall bat and bowl in his place. If no reserve is available, any overs due to be bowled by the injured player shall be bowled by another player without exceeding the quota. The captain of the fielding side shall choose one of the players in the first three pairs to bat a second time for the fourth pair. i) Matches must be played on a pitch which is 20 yards in length, though it is acceptable for the stumps to be of the spring back variety to avoid damage to a full size pitch in its playing area.

Scoring (& some dismissals) o If the ball strikes the side wall and the ‘back’ wall (behind the wicket keeper) 1 run is scored - batters may also be caught off these walls o Each time the batters run 2 runs will be scored o So if they hit either of the walls stated above and run once 3 runs will be scored i. if the ball strikes either of these walls and a player is run out only the completed run is scored. ii. 1 overthrow will be scored each time the fielding side’s attempted run out strikes either side or back wall (4 runs if it hits the boundary wall – see below) o when the ball strikes the ‘Boundary Wall’ (the wall behind the bowler and (anything attached to it) – without hitting either side wall – it is immediately ‘dead’ the scores awarded depend on where it hits the wall, thus: i.

This unique series combines aspects of the expanding study of sport in the global society, providing comprehensiveness and comparison under one editorial umbrella. It is particularly timely, with studies in the political, cultural, anthropological, ethnographic, social, economic, geographical and aesthetic elements of sport proliferating in institutions of higher education. Eric Hobsbawm once called sport one of the most significant practices of the late nineteenth century. Its significance was even more marked in the late twentieth century and will continue to grow in importance into the new millennium as the world develops into a ‘global village’ sharing the English language, technology and sport.
