In-group stage, winning team earn +4 points and losing side gets 0 points.
If one or more teams ended up with same points, net run rate will be considered to decide the group topper.
We would be using Cricclubs for scoring, so net run rate will be calculated automatically in the app. We request the team captains to have the login id and password ready to prevent delays in the start time of the game. Scoring should be done at utmost precision, if you think that you have put wrong scores, let the organizer know, they shall correct them.
Winner will be decided based on “Super Over” if the match is tie in any stage of the tournament. Super over scores will not be considered for net run rate calculations.
If the match still remains TIE, the team that has scored more sixes in there innings will be winner. If it is also same the team with max fours will win.
If the match still remains a TIE then a flip of coin will be used to decide the winner.
If the match is abandoned due to heavy rain or bad weather, teams will share 2 points each.
If the rain interruption is minimal then umpire and organizer call will be final to decide whether to resume the game or to abandon the game in case of bad light or short time.
If rain occurs after half way through 2nd innings and if team is unable to complete the game in remaining time then team which scored more in 1st half innings will be declared winner. For instance in 16 overs game team A scored 80 in 1st 8 overs and team B scored 70 in 1st 8 overs then team A will be declared winner if resuming game on same day is not possible.
During Finals, if the match is stopped due to bad weather, the match will be resume at a different time on same day decided by umpires and organizers, as we do not have separate reserve day to resume on different day. If any team is unavailable to play at different time then they will be declared as runner-up for the tournament title.
Umpires and organizers decision will be final if the teams are concerned about bad light as well as in all rain related interruption.

A "No Ball" can be declared for many reasons: If the bowler bowls the ball from the wrong place, the ball is declared dangerous (often happens when bowled at the batsmen's body on the full), bounces more than twice or rolls before reaching the batsman or if fielders are standing in illegal positions. The batsman can hit a no ball and score runs off it but cannot be out from a no ball except if they are ran out, hit the ball twice, handle the ball or obstruct the field. The batsman gains any runs scored off the no ball for his shot while the team also gains one run for the no ball itself.
A “Dead Ball” shall be declared if the ball pitches outside of the pitch
Ways Batsmen can be given out according to cricket rules:
Bowled - Cricket rules state that if the ball is bowled and hits the striking batsman's wickets the batsman is given out (as long as at least one bail is removed by the ball). It does not matter whether the ball has touched the batsman's bat, gloves, body or any other part of the batsman.
Caught - Cricket rules state that if a batsman hits the ball or touches the ball at all with his bat or hand/glove holding the bat then the batsman can be caught out. This is done by the fielders, wicket keeper or bowler catching the ball on the full (before it bounces).
Stumped - A batsman can be given out according to cricket rules when the wicketkeeper puts down his wicket while he is out of his crease and not attempting a run (if he is attempting a run it would be a run out).
Run Out - Cricket rules state that a batsman is out if no part of his bat or body is grounded behind the popping crease while the ball is in play and the wicket is fairly put down by the fielding side.
Hit Wicket - Cricket rules specify that if a batsman hits his wicket down with his bat or body after the bowler has entered his delivery stride and the ball is in play then he is out. The striking batsman is also out if he hits his wicket down while setting off for his first run.
Timed Out - An incoming batsman must be ready to face a ball or be at the non strikers end with his partner within three minutes of the outgoing batsman being dismissed. If this is not done the incoming batsman can be given out.
