GRADING – TCA does everything possible to place teams in the right grades. We aim to provide games that are as even as possible. This will not happen if teams either dominate their grades or are out of their depth. We ask for the cooperation of all schools and clubs to help with grading. If, after 2 or 3 rounds teams are clearly not in the right grade TCA reserves the right to re-grade.
CANCELLATIONS – If any cancellations these will be up on the homepage of our website www.taranakicricket.co.nz by Saturday 7:30am for Saturday games. Friday games by 2pm. They will also be put up on our facebook page. The home team is to enter the abandoned result in PlayHQ…https://support.playhq.com/hc/en-au/articles/900003188123-Abandoning-a-game-using-electronic-scoring
