this extra day was brought in to cover heated out days which is fair enough but didnt think that maybe it could be used if a day was affected by rain.
this extra day rule ( which is not actually in the rule book, only in the progam ) will cause the exec. nothing but more headaches......watch this space. There's a storm brewing and its not the one due to arrive later tonight!

Please note that scores must still be rung through to Jan McTier by 6.30 pm on each day of play, and advise her if reserve day is going to be used.
I hope this clarifies the situation for everyone!
This is the rule....but it does not mention anything about reserve days.
(d) The minimum number of overs for each day’s play is 65 overs for both minor and
major round games, subject to any adjustment made under Sub-Rule 6.5(e).
(e) Whenever either a change of innings occurs during the course of a day’s play or
time is lost for unforeseen circumstances, the minimum number of overs
remaining to be bowled on that day will be adjusted in the following way:-
(i) first, calculate the number of minutes scheduled for play for the remainder
of the day (allowing 10 minutes for the change of innings, if appropriate);
and
(ii) then, divide the result by four and round up to the nearest whole number
(if necessary) to fix the adjusted minimum number of overs.
Then there is another major round rule....
7.1 Match Results
(a) If the team that bats second in the first innings of any match does not receive the
number of overs to which it is entitled, is not dismissed and does not pass the
score of the team that batted first, then the match is drawn.
(b) For all the purposes of these Rules, a match is drawn if it is abandoned or
cancelled for any reason other than the forfeiture of one of the teams.
(c) Except in the case of a match that is drawn, the team scoring the greater number
of runs in its first innings will be taken to win on the first innings.
(d) At the end of a minor round match, points will be awarded according to the
system described in Rule 7.2.
(e) At the end of a major round match, the winner will be:-
(i) if an outright result is obtained, the outright winner; or
(ii) if no outright result is obtained, the winner on the first innings.
