Terms of Participation

Discipline defines the game.

• Matches begin strictly per the finalised schedule.
• Late arrival beyond the stipulated time may lead to a reduction in overs or forfeiture of the match.
• Umpire decisions are final and binding. Arguments or appeals beyond reasonable questioning attract penalties.
• Only registered players from approved squads may take the field.
• Teams must follow the playing conditions, overs format and ground rules announced before the tournament begins.
• Protective gear is recommended, and may be enforced depending on ground conditions.
• Individual season awards (Most Valuable Player, Orange Cap, Purple Cap and Best Fielder) are decided on Group Stage plus Super 4 / Plate 4 statistics. Every team plays five matches across these stages, so every player is judged over the same number of games. The Final does not count towards them.
• Season 11 format: Group Stage (two groups of four, 3 matches per team), then Super 4 and Plate 4 (points reset, 2 matches per team, against the two teams from the other group), then the Final between the top two Super 4 teams. Every team is guaranteed five matches, subject to section 07 and the weather provisions in section 08.

Zero tolerance, applied evenly.

• Respect on and off the field, towards opponents, umpires, organisers and spectators at all times.
• Verbal abuse, physical aggression, sledging or any unsporting act will not be tolerated.
• Alcohol, tobacco and intoxicants are strictly prohibited before and during matches.
• Any attempt to manipulate results, forge documents or breach the rules is misconduct, and results in immediate disqualification.
• Captains are accountable for their team's behaviour and discipline throughout the tournament.

• Umpires and match referees may issue verbal warnings, penalty runs or player suspensions for misconduct.
• Serious violations, such as aggression, threats or deliberate misconduct, lead to match bans or expulsion from the tournament.
• The LCCL Disciplinary Committee may impose penalties, fines or suspensions as it considers necessary.
• All rulings by the organising body are final and non-contestable.

• Every player affirms they are medically fit and have disclosed any relevant health conditions before participating.
• Organisers are not responsible for medical conditions, exacerbations or adverse health events occurring before, during or after matches.
• First aid and basic medical assistance are available at the venues for immediate response only. They are not a substitute for professional medical care.
• In a medical emergency the organisers may facilitate transport or aid, but the related costs and liabilities remain with the player and their team.
• Players with known medical conditions must carry their own medication and inform their captain of any risk factors.

• Players are responsible for the safety and maintenance of their own sporting equipment, valuables and belongings.
• Organisers are not responsible for damage, loss or theft of personal items within the venue premises.

The organising body, Mavex Sports, reserves the right to:

• Modify the tournament format, rules or match structure, including groups, stages and match duration, where weather, ground availability, team withdrawals, the number of teams registered or administrative directives require it.
• Reschedule, relocate or cancel matches at its discretion, without prior notice.
• Adjust fixtures, groups or match structures to maintain fairness and logistical balance.
• Change, substitute or withdraw awards and prizes, including trophies, certificates and individual awards, and the criteria used to decide them. Any substitute award will be of comparable standing.
• Changes are communicated to team captains and published on lccl.in. The version published on lccl.in at the time of a match applies.
• Such decisions are final and binding on all participants and teams.

• Sponsors, vendors and partners engaging with the event do so under separate written agreements, and cannot claim compensation outside those agreed terms.

• Any dispute arising out of participation, conduct or the interpretation of these terms is first referred to the LCCL Disciplinary Committee for internal resolution.
• If unresolved, the matter falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Lucknow, under applicable Indian laws.
• No claim or compensation is entertained for tournament decisions made in good faith by the organising body.
