IT'S TIME 2 GO 2 TIERS FOR BOTH THE MEN AND THE WOMEN
Whilst 2020 provided plenty of challenges, what it did prove was that the hunger for T20 recreational cricket is prominent in our county
As such we are delighted to confirm the formal launch of The Sussex Slam Women's competition, which will be a two tiered format AND The Sussex Slam Men's competition will be a two-tier competition from the off in 2021.
It has always been the ambition of The Slam to have a dual level approach, and we're delighted to be realising that after just 1 year. This offering of a lower level competition will make The Slam even more accessible for those who don't consider themselves to be at a higher standard but want to get involved in the game we love.
We have now set the player eligibility levels for each tier, which you can find on the respective MEN'S and WOMEN'S pages.
In the Men's there will be no change to the upper player restriction levels for the upper tier, which existed this year (see the ELIGIBILTIY RULES) and clubs will be able to enter a team in each tier if they wish as matches will revert back to original plan of being played within fortnightly windows and both teams wouldn't be scheduled at home in the same window.
You should be able to find all the details you need throuhg the various pages here, but please do not hesitate to CONTACT us for more details.

The Sussex Slam is based upon our overriding principle of getting MORE CRICKET PLAYED BY MORE PEOPLE, as such it employs:
- player eligibility rules to ensure a level playing field;
- playing rules to ensure each match is fast-paced and accessible for the busiest of players;
- regionalised groups to minimise travelling time;
- flexible fixture windows to help teams fit matches into already busy schedules;
- batting and bowling restrictions to ensure everyone participates;
- bold imagery and social media to enhance engagement in the competition;
