16. Make Some Tweaks to the Team List Regulations

These changes are aimed at achieving these goals.

• Use of full legal names (forename and surname), and/or same name as in MyCricket.
• Add sufficient regulation that makes it clear that players named on team list must be registered as in Reg 3, and cleared as in Reg 5 before the game. (Some people don't seem to understand this right now... Most do this scrupulously but there is a certain element of teams and captains who are either careless or cavalier or both who need encouragement to do this better.) 
• Adjust age column on the form to say 'Age Groups ' as in new underage bowling code. I'm not convinced this is necessary. Changing the Team List books means dumping the stockpile of  existing Team List books. This is both expensive and wasteful. So no change needed.

To increase the awareness and understanding of the need for Registration and Clearance I recommend adding a clause similar to the previous Regulation 3.7 to Regulation 5 and some rewording of other parts of Regulation 5.

• The new title for Regulation 5 and the repeated use of the word "clearance" makes it clear that it's about clearance. 
• Regulation 5.3 was a confusing regulation that appears to ban players from other associations joining Subbies clubs without clearance. This is actually covered by Regulation 5.1 so it can be deleted.
• 5.4 spells out what the clearance actually means. 
• 5.5 warns clubs, teams, captains and players of the penalties. The available penalties are spelled out in Regulation 24.

This much improves Regulation 5.
