Maccy won the D's in a low scoring game, despite initially "losing" their semi the week before. .
Maccy copped a 93 run hiding in the Semi Final. Creeks were finally disqualified about 5.30pm Friday evening (about 20 hours before the GF ) for an admin error on PlayHQ in entering the team for the last Minor Round game that they received a forfeit. It didn't affect anything apart from a young lad playing his 1st ever season of cricket being only officially registered as playing 4 matches instead of the required 5.
After an audit of all players in all Semi Finals was done following the Semi Finals the error was picked up. Creek were eventually disqualified whilst several other players in other grades with very highly questionable qualifying records were very fortunate to escape penalty.
The disqualification was exceptionally severe under the circumstances and a lot of innocent people have suffered from this.
Play HQ has been an absolute debacle this year and has no doubt contributed to many issues throughout the season.
The Association needs to ensure these situations can not occur going forward as there are ultimately no winners out of it.
Maybe an audit by the Association in the week leading up to the Finals of what players are qualified for what grades and given to each Club to select their team from would almost be a foolproof way to ensure this doesn't happen again and take the worry out of the hands of Clubs volunteer admin people who have been under enough strain already without having to worry one click of the mouse can innocently end a teams Premiership dreams.
