Introduction

This policy defines the awards that are provided by Brisbane North Junior Cricket Association (BNJCA) for merit across the Pre-Christmas and Post-Christmas seasons.

Premierships, player statistics, champion players for each age group and club champion are calculated automatically from the game results that are entered each week into MyCricket.

Each year, BNJCA presents performance awards to registered players who participated in its competitions. The following guidelines create a framework for these awards.

The Management Committee will decide on the categories of awards and update the affiliated clubs via Delegates meetings. The philosophy of the Association is to limit categories, and in so doing, place a higher value on the awards

Guidelines

Player eligibility

  • Players must be registered with the BNJCA
  • Players must have participated in at least 50% of scheduled games within their competition. Games which are forfeits or washouts are not counted for calculation of this participation eligibility.
  • BNJCA will set minimum eligibility criteria for batting average and bowling average awards, i.e., no. of innings and no. of overs.

Eligible performances

The only eligible performances are those which have been included in MyCricket by affiliated clubs by the deadline of 2 weeks from the conclusion of each scheduled competition game.

Confirmation of award winners

The MyCricket coordinator will provide the Management Committee with a provisional list within one month of the conclusion of each half season competition. The Secretary will provide the Secretaries of all affiliated clubs with this provisional list to enable clubs to raise any issues with a response deadline of one month prior to the scheduled awards presentation.

All award winners will be notified by the Secretary.

Spirit of Cricket Award

The BNJCA supports the Spirit of Cricket, as embodied in the preamble to the Laws of Cricket, in a tangible way each year with a Spirit of Cricket Award.

The Association accepts nominations from clubs for a player displaying the true spirit, traditions, and values of cricket. The player must be playing in a BNJCA competition.

This award does not apply to adults.

In order for a club to nominate a player, the action must be at the player’s instigation, not a result of an adult’s intervention. The nomination can come from anyone involved in the game; other players, umpire, coach or spectators, but must be made through the affiliated club of the nominating person.

The club should assemble all the relevant details of the player’s action and forward it to the BNJCA Secretary via email, within 14 days of the incident.

  • Certificates to nominated players
  • Plaque to the winner
  • Perpetual trophy stays with BNJCA
