Scorecard Entry

Latest Update: Once logged in, there is now a club members menu item. This lists all the registered members of your club. For each one, you can click to see the list of matches they played in.

Coming soon: The ability to submit corrections to this list.

After a few initial problems, the system is now mostly working smoothly. However, there are a few issues I am aware of:

(1) A number of clubs have been having trouble getting their umpire bonus points. Furthermore, it transpires that a number of clubs have been resolving this by intentionally entering incorrect information on the scorecard. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS. If you do not get the bonus points you think you should, please leave the scorecard as it should be, and contact me to resolve. In many cases, the issue is related to point (2).

(2) A number of clubs have a significant number of duplicates in their players list. This will cause two problems. The first is that if John Smith and Bob Jones play, but Jonathan Smith and Robert Jones are Forum-trained umpires, you won't get your umpires bonus point. The second is that at the end of the season, if both John and Jonathan have both played, their stats will be split.

(3) Import from Play-Cricket. This is generally working well. However, it can only work as well as the scorecard it is reading from Play-Cricket. Please make sure that you enter the scorecard completely and accurately on Play-Cricket before you import it.

(4) Non-playing umpires. I am seeing a lot of cases where the home side doesn't know the name of the away non-playing umpire, so is saying there wasn't one. The away team then change this, then I have to check back with the home team manually. If you do not know the name of the away non-playing umpire, please select the option for "Other non-playing umpire".

If you are having any other issues, please contact me (fixtures (at) wccl.org.uk).

Club Welfare Officers

As discussed at the league AGM, it is a requirement of the league (rule 22a), and of Wiltshire Cricket, that every club has a Club Welfare Officer who in the last three years has completed the ECB Safe Hands Workshop, the Sportscoach UK Safeguarding and Protecting Children Workshop, and an ECB DBS check. With abuse cases in sport making headlines several times in the past 12 months, the league will now be checking that the Club Welfare Officer of every club has completed these requirements.

ECB Safe Hands Workshops are arranged by Wiltshire Cricket. They are running a workshop at Beversbrook, Calne on Wednesday 21st February 2018, 6:00-9:00pm. You can book onto the workshop via the Wiltshire Cricket website course application page. The deadline for applications is 15th February 2018, and the price is £35.

The Safeguarding and Protecting Children workshop is run in Wiltshire by the Wiltshire and Swindon Sport Activity Partnership (WASP) on behalf of Sportscoach UK. They are running workshops on 7th February 2018 in Trowbridge, Thursday 22nd March 2018 in Swindon, and Tuesday 1st May 2018 in Salisbury. All workshops run from 6:30-9:30pm, and cost £47. Workshops can be booked via the partnership website.

ECB DBS checks are arranged through Wiltshire Cricket. Please contact Pete Sykes or Karen Smith at Wiltshire Cricket to arrange. Once they have initiated your DBS check, the process requires filling in an online form, and then a brief meeting with one of many DBS checkers in the county in order to sign off your application. A paper version is also available, but takes significantly longer.

These two workshops and ECB DBS check are also available in Somerset, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, for those clubs from outside Wiltshire who play in the league.

Disciplinary Penalties

With the number of disciplinary incidents which occurred in the league in 2017, the league will be using its powers under rule 51b of the league rules to penalise any team whose players are found guilty of an offence by the league. The penalties will be based on the level of offence committed, as follows:

  • Level 1 offence: 2 points and a fine of £25.
  • Level 2 offence: 4 points and a fine of £25.
  • Level 3 offence: 6 points and a fine of £25.
  • Level 4 offence: 8 points and a fine of £25.

In addition, if a second or subsequent offence is committed by any player in the club during the same season or the following season, their team will be penalised as above plus an additional 5 penalty points.

The above is in addition to the penalties received by the player in question.

The WCCL Committee hopes that this will be sufficient to significantly reduce the number of disciplinary cases which are being seen by the league, but if it does not, the league reserves the right to increase the above penalties during the season.
