CUP GROUP DAY HOST REQUIREMENTS
Please send any queries to assistant@yplncricket.co.uk
There will be three T20 games starting at 10am, 1pm and 4pm (start times may slip a bit if earlier games go the distance).
The host club should arrange the following:
• A good pitch, near the middle of the square.
• Adequate free car parking for all three teams.
• An area for the batting team to sit, separate from spectators, during their innings.
• Club officials, present throughout the day, for rolling, brushing and re-marking the pitch between matches.
• Wi-fi for electronic scoring.
• A food offering available to players, officals and spectators throughout the day. The typical model is that the host club runs a BBQ (or similar) and gives each player and match official a free voucher for one item, with additional items available for purchase.
• If desired, the host club can arrange whatever fund-raising activities they wish (e.g. a raffle) as long as these are entirely optional for attendees.
• The ground should be open at 9am.
The league will arrange:
• Six new pink balls to be delivered to the host club (one per innings – teams to provide their own spare pink balls)
• Three panel umpires
o For the T20 Blast each team will pay one umpire directly, just as on a Saturday
o For the T20 Plate the league will pay the umpires electronically
• YPLN’s Cup Manager will provide support in advance and will be available remotely on the day to answer any queries.
