The Moisture Reading as the Standing Umpire

Quadrant-Gated Pitch Readiness at a Suburban Cricket Association

A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities reports a season-long deployment of the Ground Readiness Quadrant, a two-input moisture-and- hardness instrument that now stands ahead of umpire inspection at eleven suburban cricket clubs under a regional association's Grounds Standard. Where the quadrant and an umpire's independent call disagreed, the instrument was the more permissive party in most cases --- the direction its decertification rule does not catch.
