COMPETITION REGULATIONS
Players are reminded that they should be fully aware of rule 1(m) when they offer dates to their opponents in ANY competition, which states
“The competitors appearing first in each round of the draw shall be the challenger and except in the four major championships and the North and South Essex Fours, shall within 48 hours, by direct contact, offer the opposite competitor two dates, (not Sundays, Bank Holidays or the Saturday preceding, or Middleton Cup dates on which Essex are participating as specified in the current handbook, unless mutually agreed) from which to select, ….
The opposing competitor shall within 48 hours of receiving a challenge accept either date. In the event of his not accepting either date the challenger shall be awarded the tie if claimed.”
Whilst it is not currently specific about when that 48 hours starts (to be addressed later in a rule amendment), the County Competition Secretary's interpretation is that the time starts as soon as the challenger has his opponent details.
