Including Essex League Rules and Essex Minor League Rules for 2026-27 Season
The ECA Rules Compendium for 2026-27 is published. This includes both the Essex League Rules and the Minor League Rules.
This 2026-27 version of the Rules Compendium reintroduces the full Essex League Rules and Essex Minor League Rules in place of the interim “Covid 19” rules, as agreed at the recent GPC and Executive meetings.
The previous “2019” League Rules which have been in abeyance since covid have been updated to reflect changes since 2019 – e.g. now the League is managed via the ECF LMS system, so the League Rules have to reflect that, among several other features, such as speeding up reporting times.
Please read this new version of the Rules Compendium carefully and if there is any point which is not clear contact the Rules Committee – use the Contact tab in the main menu bar above and select ‘Rules Committee’ from the ‘Who do you wish to contact’ dropdown (it’s a long list, you will need to scroll down, or with the dropdown open, type ‘r’ twice which should find Rules Committee).
You will find that the Compendium sections have been linked from the Contents table with return links at the end of each section. There are also a few bookmark links with the League Rules.
