Special Rules that Apply to this 20-20 Tournament are given below. All other situations not covered by the Rules below shall be governed by the MCC Laws of Cricket Code 2000 and OCL Playing Laws.
Late Arrival Penalty
1) At least 8 players from a team need to be present on the ground at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start time for play. If this requirement is not met then the following penalties are assessed as given below depending on how long the delay is from the 10 minutes before scheduled start point.
2) Between 10 minutes before scheduled start and the scheduled start time: Opponent Captain will claim the toss.
3) Between scheduled start time and 10 minutes later: 1 over is lost by delinquent team
4) Between 10 minutes later and 20 minutes later than scheduled start time: 2 overs are lost by delinquent team
5) Between 20 minutes later and 30 minutes later than scheduled start time: 3 overs are lost by delinquent team
6) IF a team is not present with at least 8 players 30 minutes after the scheduled start time, then the match is deemed to be conceded and the opponent will garner 2 points for a win.
Number of Innings
The matches will consist of one innings per side, each innings being limited to a maximum of 20 overs.
Length of Innings
In uninterrupted matches (i.e. matches which are neither delayed nor interrupted):
Interval Between Innings
The interval between Innings will be of 15 minutes duration.
In circumstances where the side bowling first has not completed the allotted number of overs by the scheduled cessation time for the first innings, and extra time is used up to complete the 20 overs in that innings, the umpires shall reduce the length of the interval between the innings to 10 minutes.
There shall be no interval for drinks.
The Result
The team scoring the higher number of runs shall be the winner.
If the scores are equal then the match result is a tie. A Bowl-out will occur if the match ends in a tie, to decide the winner.
Both teams have to either have played 20 overs or have completed their innings (being all out) for the match to have a result. A match that does not have a result will be considered to be abandoned for the purposes of awarding points.
Points
For a Win: 2 Points to the winning team
For an abandoned match: 1 point for each team
Total Points will be the first tie breaker to determine rankings in each Division
In case of two teams being equal on points, the winner of the match between these two teams will garner the higher ranking. If the match between these two teams is a tie then net run rate will determine the ranking. If net run rate is also equal then the total runs scored per wicket lost will decide the winner. If this results in a tie, a toss of coin will determine the higher ranking.
If three or more teams are tied on total points then the Net Run Rate is the tie breaker.
Restrictions on the Placement of Fieldsmen
At the instant of delivery there shall not be more than five fieldsmen on the leg side.
For the first 6 overs only of each innings, only two fieldsmen are permitted to be outside an area bounded by two semi-circles centered on each middle stump (each with a radius of 30 yards) and joined by a parallel line on each side of the pitch (the fielding circle). The fielding circle should be marked by painted white 'dots' at five yard intervals, each 'dot' to be covered by a white plastic or rubber (but not metal) disc measuring seven inches in diameter.
For the remaining overs of each innings only five fieldsmen are permitted to be outside the fielding circle at the instant of delivery.
Number of Overs Per Bowler
No bowler may bowl more than four overs.
In the event of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will be bowled by another bowler. Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowler's limit is concerned.
Declarations
The Captain of the batting side may not declare his innings closed at any time during the course of a match.
Law 24 – No Ball----- for Front foot overstepping only
For the entire innings, the Front Foot overstepping no ball penalty will be 1 run and an extra ball shall be bowled in the over. The delivery immediately preceding the front foot no ball infraction delivery will constitute a free hit. Both batsmen cannot be dismissed, except by being Run Out, off it. The fielding captain is not allowed to change the location of his fielders during the free hit except for the case where the batsmen have crossed during the front foot overstepping no ball delivery, though restrictions of fielders outside the 30 yard circle prevailing that that point in the innings, will still apply.
Law 24 – No Ball----- for all other cases
For the first 15 overs of each innings, the no ball penalty will be 2 runs, except for the case of a front foot overstepping no ball. This penalty shall stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. No additional ball will be bowled in the over to make up for the no ball call.
For the last 5 overs of the each innings, the no ball penalty will be 1 run. This penalty shall
stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. An additional ball will need to be bowled in the over to make up for the no ball call.
Law 25 – Wide Ball
a) Leg Side Wide Ball: Irrespective of where the ball pitches in relation to the stumps, if that ball passes down the leg side of the striker without touching any part of the person or equipment of the striker, the umpire shall call and signal a wide ball. (even if the striker makes an attempt to play the ball).
b) Off Side Wide Ball: If a ball, not being a no ball, passes outside the "wide marker line" or crosses this line during its flight after having pitched outside the offstump, the umpire shall call and signal wide ball. Whether the batsman attempts to play the ball or brings it within reach is immaterial.Any delivery, not being called a No Ball by the umpire, that passes down
For the first 15 overs of each innings, the wide ball penalty will be 2 runs. This penalty shall
stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. No additional ball will be bowled in the over to make up for the wide ball.
For the last 5 overs of the each innings, the wide ball penalty will be 1 run. This penalty shall
stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. An additional ball will need to be bowled in the over to make up for the wide ball call.
Law 31 - Timed Out
Law 31 will apply except that the incoming batsman must be in position to take guard or for his partner to be ready to receive the next ball within 1 minute 30 seconds of the fall of the previous wicket. The batsman next in, is expected to be waiting just outside the boundary and to be ready to make his way to the wicket immediately a wicket falls, and is expected to jog to the wicket.
Over-Rate Penalties
All teams are expected to be in position to bowl the first ball of the last of their 20 overs within 1 hr 20 minutes playing time, i.e. from the call of play by the umpire just before first ball of innings. In the event of them failing to do so, the full quota of overs will be completed, and the batting
side will be credited with 6 runs for every whole over that has not been bowled. This will apply to both innings of the match. If the side batting second is credited with runs in this way and this consequently takes their score past that of the side batting first then the match shall be deemed to be won by the side batting second. All penalties in this regard will be imposed immediately the ball first becomes dead after the scheduled or re-scheduled cessation time for the innings.
If the innings is terminated before the scheduled or rescheduled cut-off time, no over-rate penalty shall apply. If the innings is interrupted, the over-rate penalty will apply based on the re-scheduled
cessation time for that innings.
The Umpire shall inform the fielding team Captain when taking the field for the first time and at the end of the 10th, 15th and 18th over on how much time is remaining for the 20th over to start to avoid over rate penalties. Further, the Umpire shall also inform the fielding Captain about the time remaining to bowl the overs when taking the field after every occasion the play is interrupted by the weather. The Umpire at the bowler's end will inform the fielding Captain, the batsman and his fellow Umpire of any time allowances as and when they arise.
This is the only penalty for a slow over-rate. For the purpose of net run-rate calculations, any runs accrued through application of this clause shall be included in calculations.
Batting Side Time Wasting Penalties
If the Umpire considers the batsmen to be un-necessarily wasting time, one warning will be given in an innings. This warning will continue to apply for the rest of the innings with the umpires informing every new batsmen of this. The second time that an umpire deems a batsman is wasting time, and for every subsequent instance thereafter, 6 runs shall be added to the total of the fielding side.
