CT2015 Information

CT2015 Information:

There are 16 teams participating in the tournament. They have been divided into four groups, primarily based on the ranking in the last league. The four groups are:

Group A: Falcons/Bouncers/Weekenders/Beamers
Group B: Wolverines/Warriors/Sultans/Aztecs
Group C: Tigers/Phoenix/Twisters/SD Incredibles
Group D: SD Kings/Bolts/Soormay/Vintage

Each innings consists of 20 overs. Teams have 100 minutes to bowl 20 overs including a 5 minute break at the end of 10 overs. There is a 10 minute in-between innings. Umpires will deduct overs in case teams are unable to bowl their overs in the allotted time (For how to deduct: http://www.sandiegocricket.com/news/26).

Each team will play against all other teams in their group. Each win is worth 10 points. In the event of a tie or abandoned match due to rain, 5 points will be awarded to each team. The top 2 teams in each group, as decided by points and net-run-rate if necessary, will proceed to the knock-out phase of the tournament consisting of the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final. The quarter/semis finals will be structured as follows:

Qrts: (1) A1 vs. D2/ (2) A2 vs. D1/ (3) B1 vs. C2/ (4) B2 vs. C1

Semis: (1) vs (3), (2) vs (4)
