UPDATE LAWS REFERENCES TO 2017 CODE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| SUPER 20 REGULATION | OLD LAWS REFERENCE | 2017 Code REFERENCE |
| Reg 14 No Ball - Penalty | Law 24.12 | Law 21.15 |
| Reg 15 Timed Out | Law 31 | Law 40 |
| Reg 24 Fitness of Grounds | Law 3.8 | Law 2.8 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REG 24 FITNESS OF GROUNDS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CURRENT REGULATION
24. Fitness of Grounds
(a) At all material times prior to the period prescribed for play, the decision regarding the fitness of a ground and/or wicket for play, and/or possibility of play not taking place on such grounds owing to adverse weather conditions shall be in the hands of the captains of the teams drawn to play on such ground, provided that before such decision is made either Captain or his representative have inspected the ground.
(b) Immediately after an inspection is made and it has been determined either that there is a possibility of play taking place or that no play shall take place, this information shall be forthwith conveyed by the Captains to the Umpires Coordinator for the Association. Each Captain shall also forthwith advise the Secretary of his Club of the decision.
(c) If no such decision is made it shall be obligatory on both teams to attend at the ground at the time fixed for the commencement of play.
(d) For matches played on High School wickets, the Principal shall have the sole right to determine whether play will commence or continue. In his absence, the groundsman duly appointed by the Principal will have the right. This supersedes the Laws of Cricket - Law 3.8.
(e) At any time after the time fixed for the commencement of play on any day allotted for the playing of a fixture, where an official umpire has been allocated, the following shall apply:-
(i) All decisions concerning the fitness of the pitch, ground, weather and light for play shall be in the hands of the Umpire.
(ii) Before deciding to suspend play, or not to resume play after an interval, the Umpire shall establish whether both Captains (the batsman at the wicket may deputise for their Captain) wish to continue in unfit conditions, if so, then their wishes shall be met. In the event of bad light, only the batting side shall have the option of continuing play.
(iii) Should conditions subsequently become, in the opinion of the Umpire, unsafe for play, the Umpire shall order the immediate cessation of play.
PROPOSED NEW REGULATION
24. FITNESS OF GROUNDS
BEFORE PLAY
24.1 Before the start of play, any decision regarding the fitness of a ground for play will be made together by the captains of the teams drawn to play on that ground.
24.2 Such decision will be made after the Captains or their representatives have inspected the ground on the day of the match or waived their opportunity to do so.
24.3 If the day's play is called off then the Captains will tell the Umpires Coordinator for the association immediately.
24.4 If the day's play is called off then both Captains will tell their Club Secretaries.
24.5 If the day's play is called off when the match is to be played at a neutral ground Captains will contact the Club Secretary of the host ground's club also.
24.6 If the day's play is not called off then umpires and players will attend the ground at the normal time for play.
24.7 For any match played on a School wicket, the school's Principal or groundsman appointed by the Principal will have overriding authority to determine whether play will commence or continue.
DURING THE MATCH
24.8 After play has commenced all decisions concerning the fitness of the pitch, ground, weather and light for play will be made by the Umpire(s).
24.9 In the absence of official umpire(s) Captains will agree about fitness of the pitch, ground, weather and light for play.
24.9.1 When captains are unable to reach an agreement, the state of the match will continue unchanged until agreement can be reached.
SUSPENSION IN DANGEROUS OR UNREASONABLE CONDITIONS
24.10 Play will be suspended in Dangerous or Unreasonable Conditions
24.10.1 The following shall apply in addition to Law 2.8 (2017 Code)
24.10.1.1 [30/30 Rule] If thunder follows a lightning flash by 30 seconds or less, play must cease immediately.
24.10.1.2 Players and umpires must leave the field immediately and must not return until 30 minutes after the initial lightning flash.
24.10.1.3 If during the suspension of play thunder follows a lightning flash by 30 seconds or less, the 30 minute suspension period is to recommence.
This is copied from the standard QSDCA Playing regulations with an addition similar to Appendix G (the 30-30 rule).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REG 25 to REG 34
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The most efficient way to update these regulations is to reference them explicitly to the Saturday Playing Regulations. Like this….
| EXISTING REGULATION | PROPOSED REGULATION |
| 25. Code of Behaviour | 25. REGULATION 18 OF QSDCA PLAYING REGULATIONS GOVERNING COMPETITION MATCHES WILL APPLY |
| 26. Conducts Committee & Conducts Commissioner | 26. NIL |
| 27. Method of Handling Breaches of the Code of Behaviour | 27. NIL |
| 28. Appeals | 28. REGULATION 20 OF QSDCA PLAYING REGULATIONS GOVERNING COMPETITION MATCHES WILL APPLY |
| 29. Queensland Cricket Appeals Tribunal | 29. NIL |
Regulations 25-29 are a rehash of the Appendix A Behaviour mixed with a version of Saturday Regulation 20 about QSDCA Internal Conducts Commission.
| EXISTING REGULATION | PROPOSED REGULATION |
| 30. Penalty to players/Officials/Clubs | 30. REGULATION 21 OF QSDCA PLAYING REGULATIONS GOVERNING COMPETITION MATCHES WILL APPLY |
| 31. Scope of Penalties | 31. REGULATION 22 OF QSDCA PLAYING REGULATIONS GOVERNING COMPETITION MATCHES WILL APPLY |
| 32. Disputes Referred | 32. REGULATION 23 OF QSDCA PLAYING REGULATIONS GOVERNING COMPETITION MATCHES WILL APPLY |
| 33. Penalty Clause | 33. REGULATION 24 OF QSDCA PLAYING REGULATIONS GOVERNING COMPETITION MATCHES WILL APPLY |
Regulations 30-33 are adjudicatory regulations almost similar to Saturday playing Regulations 21, 22, 23, 24. Coincidentally these are also under review.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCUSSION
A lot of the higher regulations could be revised simply as "See equivalent Standard QSDCA Playing Regulation xxx"
This has a possible practical problem in that referencing regulations in the field might simply result in an instruction that says "read other book which you don't have". These formal rules are less of a problem in this regard.
The Regulations such as 8 Naming of Players, 9 Dress, 10 Liquor, 24 Fitness of Grounds can stay in because of that reason.
