STREETCHANCE FORMAT
Equipment and Playing Space
· Can be played in any enclosed space with 4 walls indoors or outdoors – MUGAs, Basketball courts, 5-a-side football courts, sports halls, badminton courts etc, there is no strict specification
· The ball used is a tennis ball wrapped entirely in electrical tape with a seam made with an extra layer of tape
· Plastic stumps and bats are fine, but wooden bats are allowed
· No specialist kit is necessary, participants can wear what they like (unless the facility has any requirements regarding footwear)
Street 20 Rules
· Each last a maximum of 20 legal balls per team or until the batting team is out.
· Competitions are usually six-a-side.
· The last batsman can continue to bat on their own until they are out, until their running partner is out, or until 20 ball have been bowled.
· Everyone on the fielding team except the wicketkeeper must bowl four balls. If they don’t, six runs are added to the batting team’s score for each ball not bowled.
· All the bowling is from one end.
· If playing outdoors and you hit the ball out of the area, you’re out but score six runs.
· You can’t be out LBW.
· You can be caught out off the walls or fence surrounding the area (or ceiling if playing indoors).
· You score a run for hitting the side walls and the wall behind the wicketkeeper and another for each run you physically run between the wickets.
· If you are caught or run out after hitting a wall, the runs scored for hitting that wall still count.
· When playing indoors you score no run for hitting the ceiling but you can still score runs by running.
· You score four runs for hitting the wall behind the bowler if the ball touches the ground before hitting the wall and another for every physical run you take.
· You get six runs for hitting the wall behind the bowler if the ball does not touch the floor, the ceiling or any other wall. The ball is dead after a six is hit and he cannot be caught nor can the batsman score more runs by physically running.
· Byes, leg byes and overthrows must be run (i.e. none scored from the ball hitting a wall).
· If the bowler bowls the ball down the leg-side the umpire will call it wide.
· Wides and no-balls score three runs with the ball not bowled again except in the last over of each innings. The next ball after a front foot no-ball is a free-hit.
· When playing outdoors, if you a hit a six off a free-hit you are not out.
· It is also a no-ball if a bouncer goes over shoulder height or a full toss goes above waist height
