Final Reminder for Mobileapp
We wanted to send one last reminder to teams to make sure they have enrolled their teams and all the players in the app. The season starts from this weekend and last thing any one of us want is delays due to app issues that should have been addressed by now. As of now there are still 43 teams with pending actions (we are sharing the details below). We request these teams and any other teams with pending tasks to make sure they prioritize this.
Few callouts:
1) For all App Issues and questions email: MobileApp@arcl.org
2) You can get answers to many FAQ by going here: https://arcl.org/Pages/Content/FAQ.aspx# (Click on Mobile App tab)
3) You can also watch videos of some common FAQs on our newly created youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ARCLSeattle
The app set up and players that are playing a given game should all be added PRIOR to the toss so game can be started on time. Our expectation is teams will start and end the game on published time and we will go with what is recorded in the app.

Update on Reduced Overs
Thank you to all the teams who reached out and shared their feedback with reducing the overs. We also appreciate some good suggestions that few of you recommended to evaluate the feasibility of persisting with 16 overs.
To reset the context, our main goal was to ensure that the enforcement of app does not cause teams to get into consistent scenarios where they cannot complete the games in allocated time as that is something that we will enforce moving forward (rules have been updated on what actions teams need to take to ensure they stick to end time and penalties for teams that fail to do the needful).
Based on feedback received from teams, the sentiment is that teams understand this constraint and are willing to ensure they conduct the games in a timely manner and wont need this buffer. As a result we are reverting back to keeping the games to 16 overs a side.
The issue for 360 grounds still remains based on our prior data so what we will do is add 15 mins to game times for games scheduled in these grounds (Ron Regis and SeaTac Ground). This means that games in these grounds will start at 8 am instead of 9 to account for this change. Games in other grounds will remain at the 2 hour 20 min mark. This was the best compromise we could think of to ensure we respond to team's feedback and ensure we keep schedule and other logistical disruptions to minimal.
We again thank all the teams who reached out and hope these changes provide the right balance to teams. We will leverage the data from the Spring season to see if we need to make any other adjustments for the Summer season and beyond.
We also want to remind teams to make sure they have installed the app and register the players at this point. We will not make exceptions for teams that join a game without having their app set up which leads to delays and/or not able to score on CricClub App. While most teams have already done the needful, there are still 35-40 teams who need to act on it

Spring 2026 Important Updates
We wanted to share a few important updates and address few questions raised by teams on how best to manage time given that app scoring will be required moving forward and games should end on time.
Updates on ARCL Balls for Spring 2026 Season:
Balls will be in stock by this Thursday. The vendor ran into some delays so it is possible that balls might not have ARCL Stamp but will be approx. 145 grams each.
Coupons will be distributed to the teams by this Tuesday
Adding Players to CricClub Roster:
As we have communicated, it will be mandatory for teams to use CricClub app for games starting Spring 2026 season. Team contacts and captains should ensure they have installed the app and added all the players to the roster at this point in the app. It is the accountability of each team to ensure they take care of this prior to their first game. If you need any assistance with this please email MobileApp@arcl.org
There was another question raised on reducing overs if first inning ran late for the first inning. If the first inning ran late then neutral umpire should consider reducing break time but once the game has started overs will not be reduced.

We have also launched a Youtube Channel where we will be posting various videos related to ARCL (like various mobile app FAQ walkthroughs):

Rule Changes from Spring 2026 onwards
We are highlighting some important changes to the rules and want to make sure all teams are read in to these changes. These rules will be enforced starting Spring 2026 season and it is important for all teams to adhere to these rules moving forward.
All the rules are updated in Men's Rule section at https://arcl.org/Docs/Mens_League_Rules.htm
The changes are summarized on top as well as highlighted in yellow. Please take a look and familiarize yourself with these changes. Given you are all team contacts, please make sure you communicate these changes to everyone in your team before the season starts.
Below is the summary of changes:
1.
Mobile app - CricClubs is now mandatory for scoring for all teams. This will help us track start and end times of all games
2.
Match will be end at the designated end time regardless of its state. End time will be mentioned in the schedule and time breakdown for the match is also given below.
3.
Updated penalties for not using CricClubs and game delays.
On #1, Mobile app is now mandatory for scoring of the game. For now, teams will still need to upload scorecard manually as that functionality is being worked on but all scoring has to be done on the app moving forward. We will be going with the logged time on when the game started and ended as our source of truth to determine late starts moving forward.
Teams can review all details for how to use CricClub app at https://arcl.org/Pages/Content/FAQ.aspx# (Select Mobile App tab). Please note, each team will need to install the app and register players PRIOR to the game for everything to work smoothly. It is responsibility of each team to ensure they do this in a timely manner.
On #2, we have updated the rules to reflect that games must start and end on time. For delayed start (which will now be logged in CricClubs app) appropriate number of overs must be reduced. The game should end at the allocated time regardless of state of the game. If the game has not ended
