Notes:
Outside of the certain competitions where the higher cost balls are mandatory, clubs will always have the option to use the higher-cost balls in other competitions if they so wish.
Only the permitted balls may be used in a WDCU competition. Umpires and captains will be asked to check that the ball being used is permitted and failure to use the permitted ball will lead to penalties including possible forfeiture of the match.
