Why a \u201cMatch Play Camp\u201d?<\/p>\n
The reason this event is called a \u201cMatch Play Camp\u201d was given in a writing by Andy Pick (ICC Americas Development Program Officer) to the three participating countries; USA,
\nBermuda and Canada. The USACA release includes the following comments by Andy Pick:<\/p>\n
“The reasonfor this match play opportunity is to hopeftilly get you to focus on your selection this
\nsummer and to assemble a squad of players who, if successful, will be together right through to
\nthe ICC U19 CWC. It is also our hope that this camp will form the start of a l2 month
\ndevelopment programme aimed at getting your squad in the best position to challenge for the
\none spot available.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the first get together of this kind and its success will be evaluated in two key areas,’
\nFirstly, that a large percentage of your U18 squad is retained in your Ul9s next year, and
\nsecondly, by us seeing evidence of an ongoing development plan, ICC Americas will then
\nworkwith the qualifying team in its preparation for the ICC U19 CWC.”<\/p>\n
Towards this end, there will be no trophies or champions. However, to keep the cricket
\ncompetitive, points will be awarded not only for winning a match but also for executing good
\none day cricket habits and attitudes.<\/p>\n
Points structure for the Match Play Camp games<\/p>\n
10 points for a win
\n 5 points for a no result
\n 1 point available @ 15 overs – 3 or more wickets down the point goes to the bowling
\nside, less than 3 wickets down the point goes to the batting side
\n 1 point for the team batting first if they bat the allotted overs, bowling side gets it if
