board of referees  special reasons  definition  time to appeal to bor and Umpire

Umpires often simply grant or refuse requests for extended time without giving reasons. In this instance I based my decision to allow the appeal primarily on the fact that there was a "reasonable ground of appeal with some possibility of success and it is not merely frivolous".
