2INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL. 1
One of the wonderful characteristics of past carnivals has been the maintenance of its
traditions within a framework unique to each of the hosting Schools. It is certainly an aim for
the future that Schools put their own stamp on the Carnival which they host.
The production of this Handbook is an attempt to pass on the traditions of the past while
acting as a reference for hosting and visiting Schools alike. It is not the intention that it be
totally prescriptive: for the Carnival is a vibrant living thing that we hope will grow and
develop well into the next millennium.
David Robertson AT Lantry (September 1996)
INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL. 2
The growth of the Carnival into the current cycle of games sees the addition of Notre Dame
College, Shepparton, Marist Sion, Warragul, and St David’s Johannesburg in 2001 and 2002
(at least); while Newman College, Perth has indicated its intentions to rejoin after some years
absence.
The evolution of changing Rules reflects a growth towards cricket as played at the senior
level in this country. What has not changes since Volume 1 of this Handbook is the role it
seeks to fill.
AT Lantry (July 2001)
INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL. 3
Once again there have been changes to the Rules following suggestions from participating
Schools. It is pleasing to rightly interpret all changes in this latest volume as a reflection of
the vibrancy of the Carnival and of its growth. MSA has taken an active interest in the
Carnival since its formation in 2001.
Marist Schools involved record their appreciation of Paul Herrick’s work as Chairman of the
Cricket Committee until mid 2003, and Ross Tarlinton’s leadership from 2003‐2007.
AT Lantry (August 2002)
INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL. 4
From 2010, three Carnivals will be held annually. This decision has been taken to ease the
burden on billeting families (still very much seen as the priority for accommodating visiting
teams), and to shorten the length of the Carnival and allow opportunities for the involvement
of more Marist Schools.
AT Lantry (March 2008)
INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL. 5
The three‐Carnival arrangement proved successful at the 37th Carnival, hosted by Ashgrove,
Kilmore and Bendigo, and will continue through the current cycle. The INVITEE allowance has
been taken up for the 38th‐40th Carnivals, ensuring six teams for each venue. Before the start
of the next cycle the Committee will look at possibilities for further expansion, should this be
seen to be appropriate.
AT Lantry (April 2010)
INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL. 6 & 7
Significant changes to the administration of the Cricket Carnival will come into effect in July
2011 with the transition of AMSA to MSA. The nuts‐and‐bolts issues will remain unchanged.
However the growing interest from Schools not in the main draw will demand a closer look at
the structure of Carnivals in the next cycle. Minor tweaking of the Rules followed the last
Meeting of the Committee. Maitland and Casino accepted as invited Schools for the 39th and
40th Carnivals.
AT Lantry (March 2011)
3INTRODUCTION TO HANDBOOK VOL 9
This is the first rewrite of the Handbook since the passing of Mr. Tony Lantry who together
with Brother Jordan Redden established the concept of a Marist Cricket Carnival in 1973.Since
then the cover has grown to a point where it is time to once again invite schools to recommit
or join for the first time.
With the completion of the 42nd Carnival in December 2014 there is a need to establish a draw
for the next five year through to the 47th Carnival.
All Schools in the Marist Schools Australia network have been invited to express an interest to
participate and as a result 20 schools asked to be included in the program. This is an increase
of two in addition to the three invited schools who have expressed interest and participated in
the past.
There have also been some minor changes to the rules over the last few years and these are
incorporated in this handbook
4HISTORY AND RATIONALE (from Volume 1)
The concept of Marist Schools across Australia meeting annually on the cricket field was
born from an idea tossed around between Br Jordan Redden (Sacred Heart College,
Somerton Park) and Tony Lantry (St Joseph’s College) as they sampled some of the “spirit of
the Institute” in Adelaide in 1973. A love of both the Marist traditions and the game of
cricket prompted the use of the second of these to further the ideals of the first. And so,
from humble beginnings at Hunters Hill in 1974, where Sacred Heart College, Assumption
Kilmore and Marcellin Bulleen joined the host in a round robin of matches leading to a final,
the Carnival grew to maturity, attaining its twenty‐first birthday in Adelaide in 1994. Along
the way, St Patrick’s Sale replaced Kilmore in 1975, then Ashgrove Brisbane, Marist Canberra
and Newman Perth joined the others in Adelaide in 1976 and set the pattern for many years.
The original concept was to expose our boys to the wider Marist community, to help them
remove School or State blinkers and see there are Schools, Brothers, Lay Staff and boys just
like them, with the same ideals and background, and steeped in the same Marist spirit and
tradition, in places right across the nation; to have our boys meet these of the Marist men
on and off the cricket field; to provide an opportunity for boys, staff and families to make
friends across the nation; to involve parents as workers and supporters; in short, to
promulgate and strengthen the Marist message. Giants of men like Br Majellan, Br Crispin,
Br Jordan, Br Evan, Br Charles, Tony Lantry and Frank Egan have laid the foundations and
ensured we have a very worthwhile and lasting event. The change from boarding school
accommodation at the first two Carnivals to the billeting of players by local Marist families
thereafter helped realise another of the original goals, visiting boys and hosting families
forging life‐long friendships.
David Robertson
GROWTH OF THE CARNIVAL
Following the 21st carnival in Adelaide, the Principals of the participating Schools paid the
Carnival and its supporters the greatest compliment when they decided it was so worthwhile
it should be offered to all Marist Schools in Australia and New Zealand. By the 1995 Carnival,
expressions of interest from 18 Schools developed into firm commitments from 12; and from
1996, two Carnivals were held in different States each January, catering for a progressive mix
of the twelve Schools until 2001. From 2002, an additional 4 schools will join the two
Carnivals, at least in the short term. A committed 17 Schools made up the draws from the
2009‐2014 Carnivals, with three venues each year catering for six Schools at each: this
allowed for the inclusion of an 18th School as an Invitee.
THE FUTURE
From 2015 we welcome the inclusion of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Alice Springs, Saint
Augustine’s Cairns, and Saint Mary’s Casino on a permanent basis and in addition Trinity
College Beenleigh. This has meant that the new fixture has been developed involving three
pools, two having seven teams and one, six. In 2017 the newly established Marist College
Bendigo will join the competition which will require the addition of an invited school to
increase the pools to seven schools each.
5ADMINISTRATION
The overall administration of the Marist Cricket Carnival is in the hands of the appointee of MSA, who
is Chairman, together with a representative Committee from five of the participating Schools. For the
current cycle the committee is made up as follows:
Paul Herrick (Chairman)
Justin Abbott (Marcellin College Bulleen)
Brett Benkenstein (Assumption College, Kilmore)
James Metzeling (Marist College, Ashgrove)
Pat Rodgers (St Joseph’s College, Hunters Hill)
Jim Sutton (Catholic College Sale)
The Committee meets annually. A dedicated website contains up‐to‐date information, results and the
current Handbook. The address is

71. LOCAL CARNIVAL ORGANISATION
Note: Daily and final results together with all award winners should be posted on the
Marist Carnival website.
1.1 Coordinating Committee
A Carnival Committee is to be formed, a Carnival Convenor or coordinator to be
appointed and the major functions of the committee to be delegated.
The membership of this committee is to be at the discretion of the Carnival
Convenor and host school Principal.
It is recommended that this committee be formed a minimum of 8 months prior to
the hosting of a Carnival.
1.2 Organisational Plan
The following guidelines are designed to serve as the basic requirements for the
Carnival. The Carnival Committee will need to integrate local needs, materials and
ideas.
The following areas are those normally covered by various portfolios among the
Carnival Committee but may be allocated and/or grouped as a host school sees fit:
a) Billeting
b) Sponsorship
c) Rules and Match (including awards)
d) Umpires
e) Publications
f) Catering (including lunches)
g) Social gatherings (including happy hours)
h) Liaison (including medical)
i) Publicity
j) Liturgies
k) Grounds
l) Merchandising
m) Transport
n) Presentation Dinner
82. BILLETING
2.1 Coordination of Billets
It is recommended that a small (1‐3 persons) sub‐committee is responsible
for the finding and allocating of billets. History has shown that a well known
member of staff achieves best results as Convenor of this group.
The billeting of players with Marist Families during the Carnival is seen as a
high priority. Visiting Schools arranging extra days outside the Carnival dates
must arrange their own accommodation.
2.2 Allocation of Billets
There are no firm rules regarding the allocation of billets except that wherever
possible the visiting players should be billeted with families as a first option.
Wherever possible billet players from the same team in the same geographic area
as this often makes transportation easier for both the billets and billeting families
as car pools can be arranged.
Boys may be billeted in singles, doubles or triples. (Experience would tend to
indicate that doubles are the most preferred option for most boys and families
as visitors can them entertain themselves and ease the burden on billeting
families).
The use of boarding facilities at the Host School in lieu of billeting is a last resort
and at the discretion of the Host School. When boarding facilities are used the
Host School should give clear directions for supervision prior to the Carnival.
Schools hosting the Carnival should note it is their responsibility to comply
with any related state legislation/policies regarding ‘working with children’
and/or ‘child protection’, with such legislation being made available to each of
the visiting Schools.
2.3 Communication with Billeting Families by the Organising Committee
Billeting families should receive clear written communication from the
organising Committee covering all details such as:
a) Arrival/departure times
b) Expectations of behaviour
c) Social events connected with the Carnival
d) A copy of the programme
e) Names and contacts of other billeting families
f) Contact details of team management
g) Contact details of billets coordinator
At the conclusion of the Carnival the Organising Committee should write a letter of
thanks to all billeting families.
92.4 Communication with Billeted Players by Team Management
Prior to commencement of the carnival the Organising Committee through
the management of each team should ensure that the players of each of the
teams to be billeted are made aware of the behaviour expected of them in
relation to their billeting families.
This communication should cover such matters as:
a) Washing machines
b) Helping around the house
c) Transport
d) Standards of behaviour in the household
e) Going out in the evenings
f) Other related matters
All players should be aware that the consumption of alcohol, smoking or the using
of any drugs are strictly forbidden.
Billeted players are to be encouraged to purchase or bring a small gift of thanks
to the billeting families.
Billeted players are to be encouraged to write a thank you note to their billeting
family at the conclusion of the Carnival or upon their return home.
2.5 Billet Problems
If a billeted player acts in a manner offensive or unacceptable to the billeting
family then the Billet Coordinator should immediately refer the matter to the
relevant team manager. The player should be removed from the family and the
team manager becomes responsible for the accommodation or arrangements of
the played involved.
The family’s first point of contact should be the Billet Coordinator who
should then confer with the Carnival Convenor. The relevant team manager
should then be informed.
103. FINANCE
3.1 Income
The primary sources of income for the carnival will come from the following:
a) Carnival Levy on the players and officials – this levy is to be kept to a
minimum to ease the burden on travelling teams.
b) The levy should not exceed $290. If a host school wishes to charge more
they are asked to contact the Marist Cricket Committee to seek approval
c) Sponsorship – either cash or in the form of goods and services
d) Sales – items include drinks, ticket to functions, T shirts etc.
e) Fundraising – raffles, draws etc.
3.2 Expenditure
Expenditure will vary according to the venue and the varying levels of
assistance but typically include the following
a) Oval hire
b) Umpires wages
c) Telephone accounts
d) Postage
e) Opening BBQ food
f) Supporters dinner
g) Players and officials lunches each day
h) Happy hour food and drinks
i) Presentation dinner
j) Daily Awards
k) Committee expenses E.g. clothing
l) Transport esp. buses
m) Programme production
n) Liturgy expenses
o) Meeting expenses (committee & managers)
p) Ground staff wages
q) Equipment purchase or hire (E.g. cricket balls, scoreboards etc)
r) Provision of players drinks during play
s) Trophies, medallions and Marist Caps
t) Provision of medical facilities/first aid/ice
3.3 Budget
It is recommended that in the months prior to the Carnival a draft budget is
prepared taking into account expected incomes and expenditures.
The aim of each Carnival should be to run at “break even” point while
keeping the player’s levy to a minimum.
3.4 Sponsorship
Carnival Committees should place a high priority on seeking out suitable
sponsors to assist in the financial structure of each carnival.
Publicly acknowledged sponsors (particularly those with logos on players clothing
or oval signage) should be promoting suitable products given the age of the
competitors. Tobacco or alcohol product advertisements are not suitable in these
positions.
Many of the most useful sponsors fall in the category of “contra” goods and
services sponsors. These sponsors, while not making direct cash payments,
11can considerably lessen the financial burden by providing food, equipment,
prizes or other necessary items
124. RULES AND AWARDS
4.1 Rules
Find attached in appendix 1. The current rules governing play in the Marist
Carnival. These rules should be sent to each competing school prior to the
carnival.
4.2 Disputes
The Carnival Committee should appoint a Disputes Committee to adjudicate in
the case of (a) a dispute arising from the result of a match, (b) action to be
taken following a report of misconduct by a player on the field.
The makeup of this Disputes Committee is at the discretion of the Carnival
Committee but should ideally comprise among its members some who have
experience of prior Carnivals and extensive cricket experience.
The Disputes Committee should consider all evidence and witnesses
appropriate, but having reached a decision this decision is to be final with no
appeal. Such action should be taken on the day the problem arises.
4.3 Awards
Awards at each Carnival fall into two categories:
4.3.1 Carnival Awards
These are perpetual trophies and should remain in the School of the winner
after each Carnival, be engraved and sent to one of the hosting Schools prior
to the next Carnival. The host school should organise an appropriate smaller
award [(b) to (g) below] for presentation to the winners (see Rule 19)
Carnival Awards are:
a) Stan McCabe Trophy or Ray Lindwall Trophy and individual medallions
– for the winning team
b) Br Crispin O’Sullivan Trophy – Captain of Marist XI
c) Br Evan O’Halloran Trophy – Player of the Carnival
d) Tony Lantry Trophy – Bowler of the Carnival
e) Br Jordan Redden Trophy – Batsman of the Carnival
f) David Parsons Trophy – Fieldsman of the Carnival
g) Champagnat Awards, one per team, for the player who best
exemplifies the spirit of Marcellin Champagnat. Each winner selected
by his team management.
Note:
(1) No player may win more than one of the individual awards (c), (d), (e)
above.
(2) Carnival Awards are decided at a Meeting of the Coaches after the last
game and are presented at the Final Presentation Dinner. Where
statistics are used to resolve deadlocks, statistics from incomplete games
(minimum 25 overs each) are to be included for all Awards but not for the
calculation of the X/Y quotient for the winning team.
13Awards (cont)
4.3.2 Daily Awards
These are selected by a match committee after each game and presented at
Happy Hour. They take whatever form is deemed appropriate by the Carnival
Committee.
Daily Awards are:
a) Player of Each Match
b) Player of the Day
For incomplete games (minimum, 25 over each), the Carnival Committee
shall decide if these awards are appropriate.
Note:
Any additional awards (e.g. for century makers etc.) are at the discretion of
the Carnival Committee.
4.4 Selection of the Marist XI
At the conclusion of each Carnival a Combined Marist XI is to be chosen comprising
the most outstanding 12 players from the Carnival.
Winners of the awards 4.3.1 (c), (d) and (e) are to be automatic selections for this
team. This team is a merit team and does not play a match.
This team is to be selected at the coaches meeting immediately after the final
match where each competing school shall have one vote. The simplest and
proven method of selection is to take nominations for each position, promote
discussion on each nominee, then take a vote. The Carnival Committee shall
provide a non‐voting chairman for this meeting, who, none‐the‐less, will have a
casting vote in the event of a tied vote.
This team is to be presented with sky blue cricket caps embroidered with a
red Marist symbol and the current year, provided by the Host School.
4.5 Winning Team
The TEAM winning the Carnival is to be presented with
i) The Stan McCabe Trophy or Ray Lindwall Trophy
ii) Individual Winners Medals at the Presentation Dinner.
It is the responsibility of the winning team to:
1. Have major Trophy engraved.
2. Ensure this trophy goes to one of the Carnivals the following year, as
directed by the MSA Cricket Committee.
145. UMPIRES
5.1 Provision of Umpires
Each match is to have two qualified umpires.
The Carnival Committee should contact the relevant Umpires Association
several months prior to the Carnival and make arrangements for their
employment. Rules specific to Marist Carnival games should be given to Umpires
prior to the start of the Carnival.
5.2 Costs
The Carnival Committee bears the costs of the umpires and a match ball for
each playing day.
5.3 Rotation
Where practical, umpires should be rotated through team and/or grounds to
avoid one umpire doing the same team every day.
5.4 Players and Umpires
Players should be well briefed by their own management and by the Carnival
Committee of the high standards of behaviour on the field and the respectful way
in which the umpires are to be treated.
Umpires must report any unsportsmanlike behaviour.
156. PUBLICATIONS
6.1 Normal Publications
All publications, print or electronic, must be badged with the MSA badge.
The Carnival Committee would usually create the following publications for the
running of the Carnival:
i) Information Sheets leading to the Carnival
ii) Programme
iii) Opening Liturgy
iv) Presentation Dinner Programme
v) A modest daily Newsletter
vi) Summary of Carnival, results, award winners to be sent to all schools (both
Carnivals) and also to official Marist Publications (Lavalla, Marist News)
vii) Dedicated Carnival website linked to the MSA webpage; with the MSA
website reciprocating for each Host School’s dedicated Carnival website.
6.2 Programme
The format of the programme rests largely with the individual host but as a general
guide the following would usually be included:
a) A welcome or introduction
b) A brief history of the Marist Carnival including past venues and winners
c) A brief history of the host school
d) A write up of each competing school and their players
e) Locations and timings of all Carnival matches and social events (including maps)
f) Important contact locations or telephone numbers e.g. medical etc
g) A history and explanation of the various Carnival Awards
6.3 Liturgy Programmes
These would normally be short publications covering these important events
and be separate from any other publications.
6.4 Presentation Dinner Programme
The contents of this programme may vary but may include match results, award
winners, menu, thank you etc.
6.5 Newsletter
At various times during the Carnival the Organising Committee may publish a short
Newsletter to give previous day results, match write ups, information on upcoming
events and any other information relevant to the Carnival. This should be posted
on the Marist Carnival website.
6.6 Advertising
With the exception of the Liturgy Programmes all other publications are available
vehicles for the organising Committee to sell advertising space.
All advertising carried should be of a suitable nature to a schoolboy cricket carnival,
Advertisements for tobacco or alcohol are not suitable.
167. CATERING & SOCIAL FUNCTIONS
7.1 Scope
Marist Cricket Carnivals have the following functions attached to hosting:
a) Opening BBQ
b) Happy Hours
c) Presentation Dinner
d) Supporters’ Function (the hosting and nature of which is not
prescriptive but as determined as appropriate by the Host School)
7.2 Lunches (Match Days Only)
The Organising Committee is responsible for the provision and payment of the
lunches for the players and management of all teams on each of the match
days. The Committee is not responsible for the parents and supporters
accompanying any teams.
The lunches would normally be delivered to each team at the ground and be of
a suitable nature (including drinks).
7.3 Drinks Breaks during Matches
The Organising committee is responsible for the provision and payment of
suitable drinks for the players and management of all teams during play on match
days.
7.4 Opening BBQ
The Organising Committee takes responsibility for the hosting of an Opening BBQ
(or similar casual meal), usually after the Opening Liturgy. This event often
provides an ideal opportunity for billets to meet their families and for informal
friendly contact prior to the beginning of competition.
The Committee usually invites all billeting families to attend this BBQ and any
supporters accompanying any of the visiting teams. The food for this BBQ is
provided free by the Organising Committee free.
7.5 Happy Hours
At the conclusion of each day’s play it is the custom to hold a Happy Hour
where all teams and supporters come together for match reports (by Liaison
Officers or Captains) and results to be released and presentations to Players of
each Game and Player of the Day.
Each team is allocated a table or area and provided with drinks and usually
some form of snack food. This is the responsibility of the Organising Committee.
If a cash bar operates (a decision for the local organizing committee) where
possible it should be located spate from the presentation area.
17Billeting families should be encouraged to attend each Happy Hour as it tends
to include them more actively in the Carnival experience and provides an ideal
time for them to collect their billet at the end of the day.
7.6 Supporters or Officials Function
The Organising Committee may choose to organise a Function for local and
visiting Supporters or Officials during the carnival. The aim of this function is
to bring together supporters of the Carnival and further the spirit of friendship.
The function usually occurs on the evening prior to the rest day.
The responsibility for the adequate supervision of players during this Dinner
lies with the management of each team.
7.7 Presentation Dinner
The Presentation dinner occurs on the final evening of the Carnival usually
after the final match and closing liturgy. For this reason it is usually held
somewhere in or close to the host school.
The cost of the food for the players and management of all teams is the
responsibility of the Organising Committee.
Parents or supporters are on a ticket basis for this dinner.
A cash bar may operate or the dinner can be on an all
inclusive basis. At this dinner the following speeches and
presentations usually occur
i) A Guest Speaker
ii) Stan McCabe Trophy or Ray Lindwall Trophy and medallions to winning
team
iii) Individual Presentations as detailed in 4.3.1
iv) The combined Marist XI
v) Closing addresses by the Carnival Convenor and/or the Host School
188. LIAISON
8.1 Provision of Liaison Officers
It is the responsibility of the Organising Committee to appoint to each team
one/two persons to act as liaison officers for the duration of the Carnival. Ex‐
students who have been to previous Carnivals usually fulfil this role really well.
8.2 Duties of the Liaison Officers
Duties of the liaison personnel will vary but would typically include:
i) Meet and greet airport arrival
ii) Assist with orientation
iii) Assist with transportation if required
iv) Answer enquiries
v) Prepare drinks and match lunches if required
vi) Assist with injured players re medical
vii) Act as contact for the Team Manager
viii) Any other minor duties to assist the visiting team to be more comfortable
8.3 Suitability
Liaison officers can be of any adult age although experience has shown that
maturity of temperament is an important requirement for the position. A drivers
licence and access to a vehicle are essential for most Carnivals and access to a
mobile phone often makes communications far more efficient.
8.4 Medical Facilities
It is the responsibility of the Organising Committee to provide adequate medical
facilities in the event of their being required. These would normally entail:
a) A doctor or surgery being informed of the Carnival and being on stand‐by
should the need arise.
b) A dentist or surgery being informed of the Carnival and being on stand‐by
should the need arise.
c) Ice and a first aid kit at each ground for each match.
d) Player/team access to a physiotherapist should they require it. It is ideal
if a physiotherapist can be available each afternoon at the Happy
Hour to give short consultations and make appointments if required.
The costs of any professional medical assistance required are to be borne by
the individual team or player involved.
199. LITURGIES
9.1 Opening Liturgy
The Opening liturgy is seen as a very high priority to the running of a successful
Carnival.
The format of the Opening Liturgy is at the discretion of the Organising
Committee but a significant Marist flavor and the involving of the players in an

27APPENDIX 1
RULES FOR MARIST CRICKET CARNIVALS (March 2011)
PREAMBLE TO RULES
The Marist Cricket carnival discourages all forms of gamesmanship and any win‐at‐all costs
attitude. The spirit envisaged in the early seventies for the Carnival was one of participation,
exposure to the Marist ethos, friendship and enjoyment. It is therefore emphasised that the
spirit that is uniquely Marist be the dominant priority for coaches and managers, on whose
shoulders rests the responsibility of maintaining that spirit.
With this in mind it is timely to direct that all boys in a squad be given ample opportunities to
participate, that key players not be unfairly rested during a game and that the rules which
follow be so interpreted as to uphold a genuine Marist spirit.
1. ELIGIBILITY AND SELECTION
1.1 All players must be bona fide students of the school they represent, i.e. must be
enrolled at the School (in the year following for December Carnivals or in the year of
the Carnival for January Carnivals). All players must be 18 years or under on the first
(arrival) day of the Carnival. Note there is no provision for inclusion of players who (a)
have left school, or (b) are over 18 years, for any School.
1.2 Squads shall consist of not more than 14 players.
1.3 For any game a team of 12 only may be nominated, one of whom will be designated
non‐batsman who may bowl.
1.4 All 12 players selected for a game shall be expected to participate in the field. It is not in
the spirit of the Marist Carnival to abuse this rule by resting key players during the
game. Only the 12 nominated players for any game should provide for substitutions
on the field unless there is more than one injury/illness to the nominated team in
which case another member of the squad may be used as a substitute fielder.
1.5 Restriction on over spells for the various age groups must follow the guidelines
prescribed by Cricket Australia. Team lists with their ages must be exchanged and
given to umpires before play commences.
2. LAWS
All matches shall be played under the Laws of Cricket 2000 Code (latest edition), including
any Experimental Laws of Cricket, with any disputes being resolved by reference to the laws of
the host State Cricket Association, subject to any variations herein.
No penalty runs (as specified in the Laws of Cricket 2000 Code), except those which are
stipulated in Law 41, will apply to Marist Carnival games.
3. NUMBER OF OVERS
3.1 Each team shall have fifty (50) six‐ball overs (300 legitimate balls) bowled to it, (subject
to variation in 3.5) unless dismissed beforehand; or, in the case of the team batting
second, unless it has passed its opponent’s score
3.2 In the event of a bowler being injured and unable to complete an over, the remaining
balls shall be bowled by another player at the same end provided he does not bowl
consecutive overs.
3.3 A bowler who leaves the field for any reason cannot bowl again until he has been back
on the field for as many overs as he was off the field, subject to rule 4.
3.4 A batsman who leaves the field when his team is fielding prior to his team’s innings
28may not bat until the equivalent number of overs that he was off the field has elapsed in
his team’s innings.
3.5 If one or two turf wickets are unplayable, and the alternative hard wickets are also
unavailable, the Host School may arrange two 20/20 or 25/25 games on the one
playable wicket, one before and one after lunch. The remaining two teams take their
Rest Day and play a similarly formatted game on the scheduled Rest Day. Points will be
allocated as for the 50‐over game.
4. RESTRICTION ON BOWLERS
4.1 The Umpires shall ensure that no bowler shall bowl more than 10 overs in a full
innings.
4.2 In keeping with the guidelines from Cricket Australia, fast and medium‐paced bowlers
(broadly defined as those to whom the wicket‐keeper would normally stand back), are
limited to six consecutive overs for a player under 16, and eight consecutive overs for a
player under 19. It is the responsibility of the Team Officials, and not the Umpires, to
ensure Captains follow this directive.
4.3 In a delayed or interrupted innings where the overs are reduced, no bowler may bowl
more than one‐fifth of the total overs available to his team. Where the total overs are
not divisible by 5, one additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per
bowler necessary to make up the balance.
5. NO BALL
5.1 A special rule applies for the Carnival which allows one fast short pitched delivery per
over. A fast short pitched delivery is defined as one which passes or would have
passed above shoulder height of the batsman standing upright in his normal guard
position at the crease, but not clearly above his head. Additional fast short pitched
balls in an over shall be called No Ball by the umpire at the bowler’s end. Any ball that
passes or would have passed above the head height of the batsman standing upright in
his normal guard position at the crease shall be called and signalled No ball by the
umpire at the bowler’s end – this will also count as the one allowable ball above
shoulder height for that over.
5.2 The current law (Laws of Cricket 2000 Code) on high full pitched deliveries
(fast/medium above waist height, slow above shoulder height) will apply.
6. WIDE BOWLING – JUDGING A WIDE
Law 25 Wide ball shall apply subject to the following.
If in the Umpire's opinion the bowler is attempting to utilise the rough outside a batsman's
leg stump, or is bowling down the leg side as a negative tactic, the Umpire will call and signal
Wide ball unless the ball passes sufficiently within the reach of the striker for him to hit it
with his bat by means of a normal cricket stroke.
A penalty of one run shall be scored for any Wide ball called. This penalty shall stand in
addition to any other runs which are scored.
7. FIELDING RESTRICTIONS
7.1 Unless wearing a full helmet, no fieldsman may be stationed within 10 metres of a
batsman
a) in front of the wicket on the off‐side
b) on the leg‐side, expect for a conventional leg‐slip.
7.2 Where possible Every effort should be made to have 30m circles marked on grounds
being used for the carnival, with 4 fieldsman required to be inside this area
297.3 In the event that marking this is not practicable or possible teams should still have four
fieldsmen inside an area approximately 30m from the batsman.
8. CONDUCT ON THE FIELD
The sledging of batsmen by the fielding side is contrary to the agreed Code of conduct and is
expressly forbidden. This includes any form of talk TO or ABOUT the batsmen. Umpires are
asked to be strict in reporting any breach of this Rule. Cases of on field incidents should be
dealt with at a hearing of the local Disputes/Appeals Committee that day, and action taken as
outlined in accordance with the guidelines set out by MSA in 4.2 (p.12) and Code of
Behaviour (participants) (p.37).
9. TIMES OF PLAY
The starting time shall be determined by the Host School, but the following timings are
recommended:
First Session of Play: 9.30am‐1.00pm
Luncheon Break: 1.00pm‐1.30pm (subject to Rules 11 & 13)
Second Session of Play: 1.30pm‐5.00pm (subject to Rules 11, 12 & 13)
10. DRINKS
Drinks may be taken on the ground after seventeen (17) overs and after thirty‐four (34)
overs in a full innings. If a wicket falls during the sixteenth (16th), seventeenth (17th), thirty‐
third (33rd) or thirty‐fourth (34th) over, then the scheduled drinks break will be taken
immediately.
When the number of overs is reduced (see Rule 13), drinks are taken by mutual agreement.
An individual player may be given a drink on the boundary at the fall of a wicket provided no
playing time is lost.
11. LUNCH
11.1 If the innings of the team batting first has not been previously completed, it shall be
compulsorily closed after 50 overs have been bowled (subject to Rule13), and lunch
shall be taken.
11.2 Thirty (30) minutes shall be allowed for lunch, and this shall be taken 210 minutes
after the scheduled start of play (at 1.00pm for a 9.30am start; 2.30pm for an 11.00am
start), unless
a) The team batting first has received its quota of overs in fewer than 210 minutes; or
b) The team batting first is dismissed in fewer than 50 overs; or
c) The team batting first is not dismissed and has not received its quota of overs; or
d) When an interruption or completion of an inning occurs within forty (40) minutes of
the agreed lunch break, when lunch shall be taken immediately.
12. RESULT
12.1 Play will continue until such time as the team batting second has been dismissed or
has received its quota of overs or until a result has been achieved, or, on the event of
an overs reduction, until the team batting second has reached the Target Score [see
Rules 12.2 & 13].
12.2 If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of overs in the
innings of either team has to be revised to a fewer number than that originally
allotted (minimum 25 overs for a game), then a revised Target Score (to win) should
be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will have the
30opportunity of facing. The revised target is to be calculated using the
Duckworth/Lewis method. The target will always be a whole number and one run less
will constitute a tie. A contact person will be available during the Carnival to
undertake all Duckworth/Lewis calculations and advise Target Scores.
12.3 Schools are encouraged to carry a laptop to (a) allow for prompt and accurate entry of
statistics at the end of each innings (using the My Cricket website); and (b) to ensure
easy access to the Duckworth/Lewis programme.
13. TIME LOST
13.1 General: If the commencement of play is delayed or there is an interruption in play:
a) The maximum quota of 50 overs each team is unaffected for the first aggregate 60
minutes lost.
b) The finishing time is adjusted by the period of time lost, up to a maximum of 60
minutes.
c) Play continues after the scheduled close of play, if necessary, to achieve the
minimum quota of overs; except if an interruption occurs after 60 minutes extra
time, when stumps will be drawn.
13.2 Late Start or Interruptions during the Innings of the Team Batting First: The number of
minutes lost (after 60 minutes have been lost) shall be divided by seven (7) and the
resultant whole number adjusted up shall be the number of overs lost to EACH team.
Example 1: A 95‐minute late start means a 45‐over match; a 150‐minute late start
means a 37‐over match.
Example 2: Team A commences batting and faces 30 overs before play is interrupted
for 110 minutes. A total of 8 overs are lost and each team will face 42 overs. The
target score for Team B would be determined by the Duckworth/Lewis method.
13.3 After Completion of the Innings of the Team Batting First: Once an aggregate
(including time lost previously) of 60 minutes or more of playing time is lost, an over
shall be lost by the team batting second for each 3.5 minutes or part thereof lost in
addition to 60 minutes (see Table 1)
Example 3: Team A completed its innings of 50 overs without any time loss. Team B
batted for 10 overs before 2 hours playing time is lost. On resumption Team B would
face a maximum of 32 overs. The target score would be determined by the
Duckworth/Lewis method.
13.4 If one or two turf wickets are unplayable, and the alternate hard wicket(s) are also
unavailable the Host School may arrange two T20 or T25 games on the one playable
wicket, one before and one after lunch. The remaining two teams take their rest
day and play a similar formatted game on the scheduled rest day. Points will be
allocated as for the 50‐ over game.
14. CHANGES TO THE RULES FOR HARD WICKETS
When matches have to be transferred to hard wickets because of wet or adverse conditions,
the following additional rule shall apply:
Any ball pitching off or on the edge of the pitch shall be deemed a WIDE and a DEAD ball,
even if it subsequently comes back towards or onto the pitch. One wide shall be recorded.
15. ADDITIONAL RULES FOR FITNESS OF GROUND, WEATHER AND LIGHT
15.1 Rain: If conditions during a rain stoppage improve and the rain is reduced to a drizzle,
the Umpires must consider if they would have suspended play in the first place under
similar conditions. If both Umpires agree that the current drizzle would not have
caused a stoppage then play shall resume immediately.
3115.2 Lightning:
a) Play shall cease immediately in the event that a lighting flash is followed by thunder
less than 30 seconds later. Play shall not resume until 30 minutes after the last
lightning flash.
b) No player may enter the field of play during the period that play is suspended
under this rule.
15.3 Extreme Heat: The Organising Committee shall be guided by the local State’s Rules
with regard to extreme heat, with 38 degrees as guide. They will decide whether
games should proceed or be abandoned. Drinks to be taken every 30 minutes where

event that more than one School finishes equal first on points, the winning School shall be
determined as follows:
i) The total runs scored by the School shall be divided by the total number of wickets lost, to
obtain a figure X;
ii) The total runs scored by the Opponents of the school shall be divided by the total
number of opponent’s wickets taken, to obtain a figure Y;
iii) The School with the larger quotient X/Y shall then be declared the winning School.
