ATTIS ECB Yorkshire Premier League North 
RULE CHANGES FOR 2026 
8.5 [v] All Beckett divisions below D1 will consist of 10 teams except the bottom division where numbers may vary. Each team will play each other team twice on a home and away basis unless there are exceptional circumstances. 
14.1 [VI] Clubs wishing to cancel a scheduled match due to the unavailability of players must obtain permission from the League Management if they wish to still go ahead with a fixture in a lower division without breaking team strengthening rules. 
21.1 [iii] In all divisions the cost of teas will be borne by the host club. 
31.3 In Division 1 and below, each club will be responsible for providing a non-playing umpire for each match and must satisfy themselves as to the ability of such umpires. Such umpires will umpire for the whole match. 
31.4 In Division 1, if only one team provides a non-playing umpire then that team can decide whether or not their umpire acts as the bowler's end umpire for the entire match, and the other team must accept their decision. This decision cannot be reversed once the match starts. If the sole non-playing umpire does act as the bowler's end umpire for the entire match then the team that has not provided a non-playing umpire must pay a minimum of £25 [though paying half the umpire's fee, if greater, is strongly encouraged], before the match starts, to the team that has provided a non-playing umpire. However, if the sole non-playing umpire does not act as the bowler's end umpire for the entire match then no such payment is required. Either way, players from the batting team will act as the other umpire. 
31.5 In Division 2 & below, if only one team provides a non-playing umpire, the captains must reach agreement as to whether that umpire will act as the bowler's end umpire for the whole match, or remain at one end. This decision may not be changed once the match starts by either captain. Either way, players from the batting team will act as the other umpire. Teams are strongly encouraged to reach a fair agreement regarding any sharing of costs.
