To stay as the Everards Leicestershire County Cricket League implies no change to the current structure whilst also not recognising our two sides from Rutland. As stated before; This is NOT an extension of the Everards League Changing the name of the league creates the right message and confirms the start of something new.
LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND CRICKET LEAGUE
Overview
Overview • Several Working Party discussions have taken place in 2013. • A few amendments have been made to the original proposal as more information has become available. • All 110 clubs (210 teams) from the 3 leagues have confirmed that they wish to enter the new league. • Long Whatton will also enter the league in 2014 making a total of 111 clubs and 212 teams. • Clubs that are unable to fulfil a 22 match season have been taken into consideration. • Concerns regarding ground ratings are in the process of being addressed. • Ground standards in the lower divisions will be improved. • Umpire allocation has been discussed and agreed in principle with ACO officials. • The rules books of the 3 leagues have been compared.
Rules • A substantial amount of the three leagues rules are nearly identical and have therefore been easy to agree upon. • Where slight differences occur, the Senior & Leicestershire Leagues have agreed to adopt the Everards League rule as they believe it is more robust and would benefit all clubs. • The Premier leagues rules will stay unchanged. • The following major rules have been agreed upon; • Arrangement of fixtures • Disciplinary matters • Players (registrations etc) • Ground & Facilities reports • Umpires & Scorers • Fitness for play, cancellations etc • Hours & duration of play • Protests, claim etc • League table (promotion & relegation) • All 3 leagues playing rules are similar. • The Working Party are far further down the line than they expected to be at this point in time therefore the new league will be run under one administration from the end of the 2013 season.

Due to the inability of some Senior and Leicestershire League clubs to fulfil a 22 match season on Saturdays, Divisions 8 and below have been reduced to 10 team divisions.

Division 11 • The new Division 11 currently has 8 teams and so therefore has the potential to take an additional 12 teams. • Some of these 12 places will be filled by the following teams; • Shepshed Town 3rd XI – Currently playing in the South Notts League (same ground as 4th XI at Belton) • Sileby Town 4th XI – Playing friendly fixtures in 2013 (same ground as 3rd XI at Mill Lane) • Ashby Hastings 4th XI – Starting 2014 (same ground as 3rd XI at Western Park) • Loughborough Carillon 3rd XI – Starting 2014 (2nd ground confirmed) • Other places may be filled by; • Newbold Verdon 3rd XI – Awaiting 2nd ground confirmation (Negotiating with Dixie Grammar School) • Hinckley Town 3rd XI – Awaiting 2nd ground confirmation (Not close to resolution) • Thorpe Arnold 3rd XI – Depends upon 2013 availability (2nd ground at Spoxton) • Sides currently playing out of county. • The final numbers in Division 11 will dictate whether or not it can run as 2 divisions split East/West or as a single division with teams playing each other once or twice a season. • Whichever way Division 11 works it is liable to be an ever changing position, it will always be the division used to balance the numbers in the higher divisions. As such an additional level of flexibility will be built in to the rules to encourage teams to enter. Teams should not fear sanctions & point deductions for failing to fulfil a fixture.
