Player and Spectator Behaviour

Level 3 Offences:

Bringing the game into disrepute, which may include failure to control player, official or spectator behaviour resulting in loutish or anti-social behaviour and which may cause the SMCA or the game of cricket’s reputation to be tarnished in the eyes of member clubs, the general public or the WACA as the governing body of cricket in Western Australia.

A minimum penalty for individuals of twelve (12) playing dates to apply and a further penalty over and above twelve (12) playing dates to be deemed appropriate by the P&D for the offence depending on the charge brought before it.

A minimum penalty for a club is a $500 fine and the maximum of $1000 may be levied by the P&D.  A further penalty of disqualification from the champion club award for the participating season and a forfeiture of the match in which the team is competing may also be applied by the P&D.

It is important that we play within the spirit of the game, and contribute to a positive, respectful environment for all involved.
