Gents,

We have following Crosses, per the attached Team Standings, (which are now also active on PICC Website).

Should LVCC have contention to calculation, (NRR is lower than WCCC, points are same, see attached sheet/picc website), hence WCCC gets to Semis.
LVCC, please advise (within 2 days), if you accept this.

The Semi-Final Crosses are as following: Team listed first are Group Toppers.

Semi-Final A: StumpErZ Vs International (Venue and Date is TBD)
Semi-Final B: Villanova Vs WCCC           (Venue and Date is TBD)

Semi-Final Dates are to be finalized with Teams soon, pending availability of opponents a separate email is to be generated.
Please keep in mind PICC-PreSeason Final may be on July 4th Weekend.

All Umpires are suggested of the following Guidelines.
0. Night Before: Visit Officials Corner: Print Hard Copy of By-Laws, Team Roster Empty so can get team lists, and print Umpires Pocket Book (all available under Officials Corner).
1. Before you Leave, Contact Playing Captains (Phone Numbers can be located in Club Contacts and Registered Umpires') Sections.
2. Print a Hard Copy of By-Laws, keep it with you while Game is Under Progress (Some of you have i-phones, which is perfectly fine).
3. After you arrive in field, confirm pitch is ready (Creases are marked, chalks are there for batsmen, Mat does not have holes, duct tape is available in case its needed, Cones are placed).
4. Before the toss, obtain a copy of team list, make sure you pass the names correctly to Scorers, so there is no confusion.
5. Clearly convey rules and/or special rules to both Captains before the first ball is bowled.
6. Warn Scorers if needed, before too late, that they need to score error free, names properly listed, so on and so forth. Advise Captains to enforce this.
7. As the game progresses, check with scorers what the score is (i usually check after every two overs). There is a umpires' pocket book you can print from "Official's Corner".
8. Finalize Score sheets (one can be done at the innings break), second after the game, get the hard copies.
9. Download a brand new MASTER SCOREBOOK from Officials' Corner (download after the game, MASTER SCOREBOOK contains updated lists by each Saturday Morning, so don't rely on something you downloaded 3 weeks ago, as it may not have all player names, download the most recent).
10. Report Highlights by 7pm Tuesday. Transfer Hard Copy onto MASTER SCOREBOOK, save the file with .xls (Excel) extension and send to either Joe (Sat Coordinators) and/or Mandeep (Sun Coordinators) by Friday 7pm.

Thank you all Four Teams, for making it through, yes we have had our ups and downs, but worst is behind us. Rain spoiled alots of games this season but still we enjoyed cricket battles.
Unfortunately there is rain in the forecast this weekend and we have cancelled both Semi-Finals. Our rescheduling will be function of few things, and as soon we confirm them they will be posted with Umpires. Most likely second weekend of October with leading the way to Grandfinale in the third weekend of October. Little Late but what can you do when you are enjoying cricket till almost November!
