* Bd 5. The Lancashire player has been ruled ineligible. The result is shown as played and will be so graded. But, for match purposes, it counts as an Essex win; and Lancashire further incur one penalty point. The total scores have been adjusted to reflect this.      Brief details: - The Lancashire player is ungraded**, and should have been referred to the Controller for clearance before he played. He was not. We believe that the Controller, before ruling him ineligible, looked at his recent results and concluded that clearance would not have been appropriate anyway as he did not appear to be below 100 strength.      Lancashire appealed to the Home Director. Their appeal took the form of a counter-claim that Essex had not played in order of strength. The Director saw no reason to doubt the Essex captain's good faith in using the board order which he thought right, and rejected the appeal. His decision was notified to the match captains on 20th June 2011. ** Let's clarify. The Lancashire team sheet gave a grade of 97, without comment, and you will still find this grade in the match report on the ECF website. It isn't real. It turns out that Lancashire were quoting the most recent published grade, from July 2005. This isn't the right thing to do, but it looks like an innocent mistake. (2005 was Old Grades, as it happens, and 97 in old money would be worth more in new. But that's by the way.) The text of the Director's ruling is on the ECF website: click here. It goes into some detail.

Just a thought. If all those Yorkshire "e" grades are estimates of strength, shouldn't they be arranged in descending order?      Expansion 2.5.11. This was not meant as a criticism of the Yorkshire board order. The rules certainly require teams to play in order of strength; we just didn't believe those were the captain's estimates of strength. But if not, what were they? (They're not Yorkshire grades.)      We know now. They were supplied by the Controller. He had no choice. The rules require him not only to OK ungraded players, but also to assign them gradings "for the purpose of this event only".      What purpose is that? Does the captain have to follow these "gradings"? No, because he doesn't play in grade order. He plays - he must play - in order of strength, and order of strength can only be for him to decide. So why do the rules force the Controller to supply meaningless "gradings"? Ask the ECF.
