What goes on the result card, and when is it due?

The scorers complete the result card. The captains check it and the umpires sign it. Under the CGL By-laws, each card must show:

• the date and the league
• the teams and the venue
• the start time, and the reason for any late start
• the first names and surnames of both teams' players
• the final scores in runs and wickets
• the duration of each innings in minutes, net of drinks and other allowances (record the drinks and allowance times in their own blocks)
• the number of overs bowled in each innings
• the signatures of both captains (or an authorised club official) and any official umpires, with each captain's daytime phone number.

Deadline (2025/26 playing conditions): the card must reach the CGL office by 18:00 on the Monday after the game, even if no play was possible. A late card costs a R100 fine and 1 match point. Keep a copy.

Ball: if a team used a ball other than the one prescribed for the league, the umpires record it on the card.
