Sat Nov 1: Pitch checks needed 8.30am

Pitch checks are needed at 8.30am. These are mandatory for home sides and optional for visiting sides. Clubs need to SMS 0410-938191 by 9.00am, stating the ground, grade, and their recommendation to either "start on time", "delay to 1.30pm (70 overs)", or "abandon".

Home sides are required to peel back covers for the morning to air their pitch, and may remove covers from the table to allow any wet patches to dry.
