NMCA 2019/2020

Far out I love this comp so much! Rivergum Rosebank grand final again! How exciting... meanwhile Bundoora Park about to lose the Mash Shield div 3 grand final! Really strong comp this NMCA isn’t it
 
I reckon you’ll probably find we’re all happy here to play cricket against blokes we’ve played against for years locally and couldn’t give a toss what you blokes in the north east are doing be it better or worse. I know I prefer my land value in Preston over Bundoora or any of your other semi rural locales for sure
 
Strange that they’ve gone this way. If games are abandoned due to weather (rain or heat), then a winner is awarded?

Why are they being treated differently. Both events are equally outside of everyone’s control, but a different result is deemed?
Surely this isn't an option?
1. Award joint winners (They finished 1st and 2nd anyway)
2. Top placed side wins as per inclement weather policy

Both sides have had great years. One or both teams should be rewarded for that.

Same for the other two grades.

So who gets promoted if there is no winner????

I think the confusion comes from the wording of Cricket Victoria’s advice to Premier Cricket, where the highest placed team at the end of the home and away season would be deemed Premiers.

This causes complications in Jika Shield given Rosebank were the highest placed team in the home and away season, however Rivergum became the ‘home’ side after winning the semi final.

Based on the wording from Cricket Victoria, Rosebank would be the winner. But the way we are structured, we know Rivergum should be deemed the winner. This is the case if the grand final is abandoned due to weather.

There is much less confusion in Quick and Kelly where Socials and Footballers finished on top of the ladder and also won the semi. It’s clear cut in both these grades and no confusion in the advice offered by Cricket Victoria.
