Rule 15 - Players Who Have Played 9 Games Or More In A Higher Xi
A reminder that Rule 15 comes into play from this week - any club who wants to drop a player down a side who has played 9 matches or more in higher XIs must get clearance to do so by filling out the form at this link https://forms.gle/DboJidrsw5wJhyJb8 and you will then get a confirmation that the player is allowed to play directly from the Chairman.
15. No member club shall, without the sanction of the Executive Committee made by 2.00 p.m. on the Wednesday prior to the date of a match, play any player in such match in any of the 2nd XI Divisions or below during the last four matches of any season of the Essex League who has played during that season in 9 or more matches for any member club or clubs in any higher divisions. The Member Club found to be in breach of the playing condition in a match shall take no points from that match. The opponent club in the match will take the points it actually achieved in the match.
20 points shall be deducted from the Member Club found to be in breach of this playing condition. The Executive Committee shall have an overriding discretion to waive all or any part of the penalties in exceptional circumstances.
