Match Rule 17.2 Clarification
There is a problem with the wording of this rule which means that it could be read in two different ways. This would only be in circumstances where there are forfeitures on rain-affected days. We have issued a norte (in the Documents section of the website) stating how the rule will be interpreted this season and pending a change at the next AGM [12/5/2017]
TVCL Expansion
At the Special General Meeting on 26th April.the expansion of TVCL in 2018 was agreed and the following seven clubs were elected as members with effect from 1st October 2017. Subject to withdrawing from their existing leagues, they will play in TVCL in the 2018 season:
Ickenham C.C. ( Associate Member, now upgraded to Full Member status); Binfield C.C; Sulhamstead C.C; White Waltham C.C; Bradfield C.C; Taplow C.C; Wraysbury C.C.
2017 Season - Reminders
• Captains in L1-4 are likely to get automatic notices from WTU of their umpiring appointments for the forthcoming weekend. For most L4 and some L3 matches these notices will tell you that you have a club umpire rather than a panel one. This may seem confusing but it does actually say, very clearly, ‘Club Umpire’. The reason for this is that you need to complete assessments for all umpires, both panel and club.[updated 7/3/2017]
• For captains and scorers in Levels where there are Win/Lose matches which are affected by the :weather the DLS G50 parameter should be set to 245.

Links with Play-Cricket
In the close season we have established contacts with Play-Cricket and progress is being made towards .getting our results and scorecard data accepted automatically. In view of past problems we do not wish to say any more thanthis at present, but we are hopeful that something will be working in the coming season.
This would mean that clubs which use Pitchero, whose system, simply downloads what is on Play-Cricket, would avoid having to enter these details twice - but we are not there yet! [7/3/2017]
