Rules of the Carnival & General Information
A1, A2 & B1
A1 Starts: Saturday and Sunday, 10am; Monday, 9:30am.
A2 and B1 Grades hours of play: Saturday, 9am to 1pm; 2pm
to finish. Sunday,9am to 1pm; 2pm to finish. Monday 8:30am
to noon; 1pm to 5pm.
Play MUST finish at 5pm on the final day. If the second 50
overs have not been bowled, the score run rate of BOTH SIDES
at the over number completed by the bowling side at 5pm will
be the deciding factor.
The committee has decided to conduct these grades on equal
batting time of 50 six-ball overs with a maximum of 10 overs
per bowler. Captains must endeavour to see that the game is
kept moving, and that the 50 overs are bowled.
A 10-minutes break in the morning and afternoon will be taken
at the discretion of the captains.
B2, Social & Ladies
B2, Social and Ladies hours of play: Saturday – No.1
Game, 8:30am to 1pm; No.2 Game, 1:30pm to 6pm. Sunday - No.1
Game, 8:30am to 1pm; No.2 Game, 1:30pm to 6pm. Monday - No.1
Game, 8am to 12:30pm; No.2 Game, 12:30pm to 5pm.
This competition will be conducted on equal batting time
of 35 overs, or two and a quarter hours per side. The number
of overs bowled by the first fielding side at the end of two
and a quarter hours, if less than 35, shall be the number
of overs required to be bowled by the second fielding side.
No bowler to bowl more than five (5) overs, no bowler’s
run up to the wicket is to exceed 6 metres. Batsmen must retire
on the ball at which they reach 50 runs. For averages purposes,
a compulsory retirement will be regarded as not out.
Social & Ladies Only
A bowler will not bowl more than 8 deliveries in an over.
(i.e. the first two wides / no balls will be rebowled and
penalised one sundry run, any remaining wides or no balls
will be just penalised the one sundry run for each wide or
no ball.) This rule has been introduced to ensure games continue
with minimal delay.
Interruption Due to Rain
The side batting first in ALL GRADES must complete their
allotted overs and the side batting second must complete a
minimum of fifteen overs, otherwise a washout will be declared.
The 15-over mark of the side batting second will then constitute
a game. The run rate of the batting team at the end of the
last COMPLETED over at the time of interruption will be used
to calculate –
1. The batting side’s overall total for incentive points
purposes, and
2. To decide the winner of the match.
Only the incentive points obtained by the bowling team at
the point of the rain interruption will apply. N.B.: Scorers
are to circle the score, on the progressive score sheet, as
the completion of the first 15 overs, in all grades.
If both captains agree, on certain fields, if weather conditions
and the condition of the grounds warrant the same, bowlers
may bowl from one end only, with the batsman changing ends
at the completion of each over.
Awards
All score books are to be picked up from the Secretary’s
Office before 8am each day and handed in to the Secretary’s
Office immediately after the completion of each day’s
play.
Team captains are requested to ensure that all scores are
recorded neatly and correctly for the purpose of compiling
averages. Any team failing to carry these instructions out
will be automatically disregarded in so far as averages are
concerned. This is a very big job and is usually handled by
two people, so please cooperate to give them a chance to keep
the averages up to date.
Points
Win = 3 points. Tie = 3 points per team. Loss = 0 points.
Washout = 3 points per team, plus incentive points at time
of washout. If a game is completely washed out, or if a team
forfeits, the team shall be allotted the average of their
points for games completed during the carnival.
In addition to the above points, incentive points will be
added as follows: .01 of a point for every run scored and
.2 of a point for each wicket taken. In games where the batting
side is fully dismissed, 2 points will be awarded to the bowling
team. One innings ONLY per side, and each side MUST COMPLETE
its allotted number of overs, or bowl until the opposition
is completely dismissed.
College and Mosman Hall Grounds
1. The Charters Towers Cricket Association stresses the
following rules for teams drawn to play on the above fields:
2. Vehicles to be parked ONLY in approved parking areas.
3. Vehicles not to be driven off designated roadways.
4. Speed limitations must be strictly adhered to.
5. No undue vehicle noise will be tolerated.
6. Please use bins provided at each field for rubbish disposal.
7. DEFINITELY no alcohol allowed in either grounds.
CAPTAINS: Please endeavour to see that these rules are strictly
adhered to.
Consumption of Alcohol
All payers are reminded that alcohol is not to be taken
on the field of play at ANY of the grounds. This rule applies
especially to players acting as umpires. Any team reported
breaching this rule will not be invited to play in future
carnivals.
Age Limit
The Charters Towers Cricket Association wishes to make it
clear to all teams in ALL GRADES that persons under the age
of 14 years are NOT eligible to play. This rule will be strictly
enforced this year. All players participating in the Carnival,
in ALL GRADES, do so at their own risk.
Cleanliness of Grounds at Completion of Games
All grounds should be left free of litter following the
completion of each game. All rubbish should be disposed of
in the bins provided. Teams playing in the women’s competition
should also ensure all toilet facilities are checked and kept
tidy.
Captains will be held responsible for any reports of leaving
their respective fields in an unacceptable manner. Both captains
should therefore agree at the completion of play that their
respective areas are free of rubbish and toilets have been
left clean.
In The Event of Wash-Out
In the event of a wash-out being declared by 7:30am on turf
fixtures, the following rule will apply:
ALL B1 and A2 fixtures will be declared 35 over half day matches.
A1 teams scheduled to play on fields 12, 13 and 48 will play
fields 1, 6 and 53 respectively. (i.e. The fixture set down
for field 12 will play on field 1, the fixture set down for
field 13 will play on field 6 and so on.)
A2 teams scheduled to play on fields 1, 6, and 53, 16 and
47 will play the afternoon fixture on B1 fields 4, 5, 7, 18
and 19 respectively.
All B1 fixtures will be declared morning 35 over fixtures
and shall commence at 8:30am or 8am on the final day’s
play.

and friendly rivalry in the King of Games. We welcome you
and hope that your stay is a very enjoyable one. You can help
maintain the high reputation it now enjoys by conducting yourself
with propriety at all times during the week-end.
