This competition is designed to help increase the amount of cricket that clubs can offer its members in an inclusive way and as such there are rulings to prevent players of a particularly high standard from inappropriately participating. However, this has to be balanced against the potential to exclude players who have been caught by a rule that isn't designed to prevent players of their standing from competing and/or unfairly impact upon their team.
As such, teams are permitted to request exemptions from all or part of rules PE.4 and PE.5 each year via the online form ONLY.
Those granted exemptions are listed below along with the ruling (and part of) they are currently exempt from. Note that a team may have an exemption granted that does not appear on their list below at the time of their next match. It is that team's responsibility to declare to their opponent written evidence from the Competition Manager for any such exemption along with details of ALL current player exemptions valid for that match, prior to the toss being conducted.
