MCA Wet Weather Procedures

The following information has been taken from the Mercantile Cricket Association website in relation to wet weather procedures:

WET WEATHER PROCEDURES

The MCA is committed to getting games played each week.

PLAYERS

Our policy is if in doubt, turn up. If you have big doubts, call the MCA Wet Weather line after 9:45am on match days:

The advice may be that players and umpires are to reports to grounds, or the match has been abandoned, or rescheduled to another day, or moved to another ground.

CLUBS

If no pitch has been prepared, clubs are required to call the Match Secretary Alec Kahn on 0410 938 191 before 9am on match days. 

If the pitch is prepared, but in the opinion of the home side will be unfit for play, then the home side is required to contact Alec Kahn, and only with the agreement of the opposition captain can the game be called off.
