Its an absolute joke that two young lads from our club were refused permits to play in our b grade finals because one had played 10 days of a grade and 9 days of b grade whilst the other had played 10 a grade and 8 b grade. Both were dropped on form at xmas time and have played b grade ever since. They have both played more b grade games than a grade. Plus we had the weather affected games which took days of cricket off them. So now we have two young lads that I think undeservedly miss out on playing in the finals. Not sure how many other clubs this has happened to but there needs to be a change in the rule or at least some leniency in giving permits for such cases
One will finish 10A and 8B, the other is currently 10A and 5B, think he played A Grade yesterday to make him 12A and 5B. Try and keep it to facts when supporting your position. (Note; when you look at the stats the cross over games appear twice and will distort the amount of games played)
Just answer this one question mate, did the association only bring in these qualification rules in the last couple weeks or have the clubs known these rules all year?
Not an issue for any other club.
Ok the lad you refer to as 12a and 5b played a grade because the permit was declined and we had an injury in the a grade so there was no point in him playing b grade. In fact he was called up at the eleventh hour on Friday night otherwise he wouldve played b grade.
The other lad by my calculations has played 6 games of a grade and 7 games of b grade (including the one crossover game) and one heat affected game. Does that mean the cross over game doesnt count towards games played?
Im sure other clubs have been affected but as I said I dont like seeing young kids missing out on playing finals.
I'll ask you though, did you vote on whether to decline the permit?
