1. If the weather or time does not permit for a full game, the umpire has the right to reduce the number of overs to be played. In spite of that, if there is further interruption and the game cannot be completed in the stipulated time, the umpire has a few options as long as he can ensure that the games following the current game can play their full quota of 12 overs:

 

1.          The scores at the end of the last completed over is used to get a

result.
 

1. So if it rains out in 10th over of 2nd inning, then the team that has more runs at the end of 9th over is declared winner. Or DL if using online scoring (TBD)

 

1. A no result is considered a TIE and the points will be split.

 

1. For playoffs, If the teams are tied with same number of runs, there will be a one over eliminator to decide the winner. Each team will play 1 over with 3 batsmen nominated and all 8 fielding. The bowler will be nominated by the teams as well. If 2 wickets are down the innings ends and the team with the maximum number of runs at the end of the 1 over will win the game. If that is tied the eliminator will be repeated till we get a winner.

1. Bi – Runner Policy:

 

1. Though bi-runner has been removed from international cricket, considering the health and physical condition of the players, a bi-runner can be requested. The bi-runner should be the person who is last out. So the openers cannot have a bi-runner. The bi- runner must stand behind the line of the stumps when the batsman is playing and must not start on taking run unless the batsman has completed his shot. Any attempt to take a start before the batsman has completed the shot should disqualify/nullify that run.

 

1. This is a courtesy or privilege and should not be used as an advantage in any situation.

 

1. The decision to allow a bi-runner is at the discretion of the opposite captain

 
 
 

1. Mankading:

 
 

1. It remains legal for a bowler to run out a non-striker who has strayed outside his crease after he has started his run up, but before he has entered his delivery stride. (Appendix D of the 2000 Code defines delivery stride as the stride during which the delivery swing is made; it starts when the bowler's back foot lands for that stride and ends when the front foot lands in the same stride.)

 

1. A warning may be offered to the runner, at the mercy of the bowling side, but is not required.

 
 

1. Playoff Fixtures:

 
The playoff fixtures will be announced at the start of the tournament based on number of participating teams. (TBD)
 
Each team will play  league games, and a player is required to play minimum 1 game to be eligible for playoffs(TBD), and the verification is done by score sheets. So it is important you post the correct score sheets and in a timely fashion.
 
 
Game Rules:
 

1. No Balls – A batsman cannot be dismissed of no ball except for run outs.

 

1. Free hit for front foot no balls are allowed. The ball after the no ball will be a free hit and the batsman cannot be dismissed of that ball except by Run out. If the free hit ball is a wide or a no ball again then it does not count and the bowler has to deliver the free hit ball again till it is a legitimate delivery. Bump balls passing above shoulder height of the batsman in upright position are a ‘no ball’ but no freehit. Full toss passing above the waist of the batsman in upright position is a ‘no ball’ but no freehit.

 

1. There are no leg byes. Hence, no LBWs and run outs on a leg bye. Only stumping is allowed when the ball hits any part of the body and the batsman's foot is not inside the crease. Foot on the line is out.
