The process for nominating volunteers for the NatWest OSCAs changed for 2008 from previous years. There was no longer a national nomination process and instead each county was responsible for their own nominations.
For counties having their own County OSCAs, then the seven winners of the County OSCAs were automatically nominated for and invited to the NatWest OSCAs at Lord’s on Monday October 13.
For those Counties not having an OSCAs of their own they accepted nominations and, using an independent judging panel, put forward seven volunteers (one for each OSCAs category) for nomination and attendance at the NatWest OSCAs.
Once each County judged its seven winners in each category they were all put forward to the ECB where the final shortlisted nominees for the National OSCAs and the winners were decided by an independent judging panel.
This panel was made up of representatives of various governing bodies and interested parties including NatWest, Sport England and the RFU. It included: David Leighton (ECB), Carole Thelwall-Jones (Rugby Football Union), Anne Homyer (Sport England), Paula Francis (NatWest) and Andrew Wheeler (Women's Cricket Development Manager).
