- Umpires
Each team provides one competent umpire when required (General Rules 3.1). In Stage 2:
| Situation | Central (bowler's end) umpire | Square leg umpire |
|---|---|---|
| One appointed umpire supplied | The appointed umpire | Bowling team |
| No appointed umpire | Bowling team | Batting team |
Where a team has no association umpire, it should supply a volunteer to umpire at square leg or for half the match.
Stage 3 differs: with no appointed umpire, the batting team supplies the central umpire and the bowling team the square leg umpire.
The Laws of Cricket apply wherever the MJCC Stage 2 Match Day Rules are silent.
