Geez Benny you really do have a beef with person/s on the exec, seems as though you whack them no matter what they do. Id say 90% of the comp is happy with the rule, we have lost a quarter of our days to weather, seems sensible to reduce the qualification by a quarter. It is still only country social cricket at the end of the day, there are a number of factors why guys cant play a full season and we should be encouraging guys to play not turn them away. I personally know of two young lads from differant clubs that were unavailable before the new year, one because of work and one that moved into the area from interstate, just unfortunate that the majority of lost days have been since Christmas

So will this become a regular thing in seasons going forward? We missed almost as many weeks last year.

Don't forget there are byes in a lot of grades too so depending on where they fell for your club it could have resulted in very little cricket so far since Christmas...

i might be wrong, but as far as i can tell, there was at least 4 days that were affected last year for the A1s, and 3 for lower grades - three because of heat (one of those was the A1 one day final so only affects two teams), and one because of rain, where the rain came halfway through the game.
so yeah still less, but not insignificant.
Something like this should be set in stone - even if that means if you miss x days, then qualification becomes y etc.

I agree with benny to some degree, seems odd that at the association meeting it was clearly stated that there is enough weeks in the year to qualify so teams/clubs have to deal with it. then one game from finals they change the rule. Surely if you havent played 4 weeks throughout the whole season to this point you shouldn't be able to play.
But also agree with benny lost a very similar amount of games last year and there was no calls there.
I know Sandy 1s will benefit from this, I heard last night maybe ango A1s as well. Not sure if any other teams in the A1s have anyone close.
I am sure alot of lower grades will get a couple more blokes through.
But she is done now so can change it.
