* No Grounds are reserved for the tournament. All the matches will be held at Quail Hill Community Park(35 Shady Canyon Dr , Irvine, CA 92603).  
   In case of ground non- availabity a new venue will be decided on the game day.
 
* Tournament schedule, stats and progress will be tracked at http://cricclubs.com/IrvineChampionsLeague/  .

HOW STANDINGS ARE DECIDED
* In the League matches, the winning team gets 2 points and the losing team
gets 0 points. In case of a tie, each team will get 1 point (no re-match will be
considered in case of a tie).
 
* If two or more teams end up with same number of points after League matches,
their position in the table will be decided by the following precedence. This is
important and very likely to happen in this tournament.
 
* Team with the BEST run-rate - The run rate of a team will be calculated online
from https://captaincalculator.com/sports/cricket/net-run-rate-calculator/
Of course, when a team wins batting second, then the number of overs
they batted to get their target will be used for the run-rate calculation. If any team
got bowled out inside their allotted overs (15 overs), then the actual scheduled
overs (i.e. 15) will be used to calculate their run-rate.
 
* It is very rare or quite impossible for two teams ending up with same run-rate. But
under the very rare scenario of two teams ending up with the same run-rate, the
team which had lost less number of wickets in the league matches will be placed
higher than the team which had lost more wickets.
 
 
INTERRUPTIONS AND UNEXPECTED STOPS
* If the match cannot be played under any un-avoidable conditions such as rain, Ground Unavailability,
or interruptions of any form, a NEW match will be played between the
same two teams at a later time depending upon the ground availability.
 
* The new match will NOT be continued from the state it was halted no matter what.
 
* ONLY the organizers have the right to declare if a match cannot be
continued.
 
* Also, if a team misbehaves on the field such as abuse a player/ umpire or indulge in
  any activities that may cause unnecessary problems, the organizers have the right to
  STOP the match at any time and declare the Winner.

Irvine Champions League Admin:  Thanks for letting me know. Corrected that. Also added some more rules.
Aneesh Rajan:  One bouncer below the shoulders is allowed per over. Did you mean one bouncer above shoulder height and below head height is allowed per over ? Above head height is always a wide. Can you correct it?
