Players who play in the knockout stages should have played at least 3 matches for the team in the Group level. Please note special requirements around injured players, travel, or washed-out games scenario below.
1. In case if a player is injured or facing emergency travel during the tournament and unable to fulfill the 3 games requirement, a written request must be submitted 7 days before the first knockout game. However, the league will only allow this exception if such a player has been a regular member of that team with a reasonable history from the league's point of view.
2. In case of a washed-out match, the playing roster must be sent to the organizing committee the same day for that game to be counted against the players who would've otherwise played in that match. If that game is rescheduled to play, this roster will be discarded and won't be counted as a played game for the players provided in the roster, and the rescheduled game will be used to count player qualification.
If the opponent team is objecting to your team member bowling action, the umpires are authorized to take action and stop the bowler bowl further. In the case of past matches, the bowler was not objected to, that can't be the reason to not object to such illegal action in future games, captains can't refer to the previous game history. Bowling action and laws are as defined by ICC CPLKC BY LAWS Page 7
League officials reserve the right to amend the rules that can be applicable to future, past, and current matches. However such circumstances are rare, for the benefit of the organization, league management reserves the right to analyze and implement and rule surrounding non-documented scenarios. League's decision on undocumented scenarios can supersede and override umpire made decisions/errors that may have affected the outcome of the game.
Teams threaten to leave the tournament, indulging in indecent acts of fighting/personal attacks/verbal war with an organizer in messaging forums, emails, phone calls for any reason will not be tolerated. Such teams can be expelled immediately from the league with no refund of tournament fees.
