MATCH REGULATIONS FOR BOTH TOURNAMENTS

General

The Quadrangular Tournament is an annual tournament competed for by S.G.S., the Forty Club, Dansk XL and Cricket Espana. It comprises a 45 over competition and a T/20 competition played concurrently in the same week. Taking 1st July in the year of the tournament, the 45 over tournament is for players aged 40 years or older and the T/20 tournament is for players aged 35 years and older. Both tournaments are exclusively for players who are certified as full members of their Club.

These are the regulations for both tournaments

The Tournaments are to be played within the Laws of Cricket 2000 Code 5th Edition (2013) and also within the Spirit of the Game. In addition there are certain Tournament Regulations which will apply and these are described here.

THE 45 OVER TOURNAMENT

Match Regulations

A match will consist of 90 overs. Each side will be entitled to receive a maximum of 45 overs. A declaration will not be permitted. In the event of a side being bowled out in less than 45 overs, no carry-over of unused overs is permitted. The side scoring the most runs will be the winner. A tie is possible and will be considered as a result.

Match start time will be 11.00 hrs. For a 90 overs match and with an interval of 40 minutes, regulation play should finish by 17.40hrs. For interrupted matches, Close of Play calculations will be based on 18.40hrs.

The toss, in the presence of the umpires, is to be made no earlier than 30 minutes and no later than 15 minutes before the start of the match. At the time of the toss, the team captain is to hand to the umpire[s] a copy of his Team Sheet listing his nominated players.

In the event of bad weather, the decision to start play, or not to, rests with the Umpires in consultation with both Captains. When a match has been started and then stopped by rain, the decision for the resumption of play is the responsibility of the Umpires alone.

There will be no reduction of overs during both innings until, in total, 60 minutes playing time has been lost.

When a match is delayed or interrupted by ground and/or weather conditions, overs are to be deducted as follows:

If the start is delayed by weather conditions, one over is to be deducted from each side for every 8 minutes lost during the first innings, once the 60 minutes [see para 8 above] have elapsed..
In a game which starts on time but is subsequently interrupted by weather or injury to or ill-health of any player or match official, one over is to be deducted from each side for every 8 minutes lost time during the first innings, once the 60 minutes [see para 8 above] have elapsed.
In the second innings if weather or injury to or ill-health of any player or match official interrupts play, one over is to be deducted for every 4 minutes lost time during that innings, once the 60 minutes [see para 8 above] have elapsed, and the D/L target score calculated accordingly.
No oversmay be deducted for time lost for any reasons other than weather or injury to players and/or match officials. The second innings will be deemed to have started upon completion of the interval between innings.
A minimum of 20 overs a side must be bowled to constitute a completed game unless a result has already been achieved.
If the delay prior to the start of the game is such that it is judged by the umpires that there will not be sufficient time for the side batting second to receive its full complement of 20 overs before close of play at 18.40 pm, based on 15 overs an hour,then the game is to be cancelled/abandoned.
If there is a delay or further delay occurring after the start of the game such that it is judged that there is not sufficient time for the team batting second to receive its full 20 overs, then the game is to be declared an uncompleted game unless in the opinion of both captains there is a possibility of a result being achieved. In the event of a disagreement between the Captains, the match shall only proceed if in the opinion of both umpires there is a reasonable prospect of a result being achieved.

Bowlers are to be limited to 9 overs or a fifth of the total of the revised overs. In the event that a bowler is unable to complete his over, another bowler may complete the over and this over will count as a complete over for both players.

In terms of the result, a part over is to be considered as a complete over.

Fielding Restrictions
Two 30 yard semi-circles marked by white dots/discs at 5 yard intervals, are to be marked on the field of play. Throughout an innings there must always be 4 fielders and the wicket keeper ‘inside the circle’.
When the bowler begins his run-up to bowl, there may not be more than five fielders on the leg side.
In the event of an infringement of fielding restrictions, the umpire at the strikers end shall call ‘No Ball’.

Wides.
The umpires are to apply a strict and consistent interpretation of any off-side or leg-side delivery which does not give the batsman a reasonableopportunity to play the ball.
On wickets which have been prepared with a 35” [89cms] line either side of the imaginary centre line, or 17” in from each Return crease, any ball passing outside this line on the off-side will be adjudged a wide.
Any fair delivery that passes outside the leg stump and outside the batsman despite his movement, will be considered a wide.

No Balls. In the event that a bowler commits a front-foot no ball infringement, 1 runs will be added to the score and an extra ball – a Free Hit – will be bowled. A Free Hit must be a fair delivery. Only if the batsmen have changed ends may the captain adjust his field placings.

Player Substitution. In the ‘Spirit of the Game’ and as a regulation of this Tournament, the umpires shall allow for a nominated player who has been injured or become ill since the nomination of the players, a substitute acting for him in the field or a runner when batting.

Duckworth Lewis.
In calculating the target score in a game affected by interruptions (ground or weather conditions), the Duckworth Lewis system is to be introduced.
Consequently it will be a desirable requirement for a computer and printer to be installed at both grounds, and an essential requirement to have at least a laptop pre-loaded with the D/L programme at both grounds. If after the commencement of the second innings further time/overs is/are lost then the target score must be recalculated and [a printout] provided to the captains, umpires and scorers. The new target must be shown over by over on the scoreboard from the 10th over onwards.

At venues where no computer, laptop or Duckworth Lewis programme is available, these calculations will have to be done manually:

Calculating the Target Score in a Game Affected by Interruptions (Ground or Weather Conditions)

In a game delayed or interrupted by ground and/or weather conditions, providing there is sufficient time to allow the side batting second to receive 20 or more overs - acknowledging that the team may not need to receive this number of overs to win the match - the target score to be achieved by the side batting second shall be calculated on the following basis:

a.Divide the runs scored in the first innings by the number of overs received in order to arrive at the first innings runs per over rate. (Remember that any part over received is to count as a full over). In the event of a side being dismissed within the total number of overs that it was entitled to receive in the time allotted for the first innings, the run rate will be calculated by dividing the runs scored by the total number of overs which the team was entitled to have received rather than the number of overs actually received.
b.Calculate 75% of the runs per over rate in 17a above.
c.Multiply the reduced run rate at para 17b by the number of overs lost in the second innings.
d.Calculate the reduced target to be achieved by the team batting second by deducting the figure arrived at in para 17c from the first innings total. The overs will still be reduced during an early tea break. In dealing with this calculation, run rates should be calculated to the second decimal place and the amended target score will always be rounded up to the next whole number.

Example: (The first number represents the first innings total)
Total ÷ overs = ? x 75% = ? x overs lost = ? Take from total

200 ÷ 45= 4.4 x 75%= 3.3 x 20= 66 from 200 = 134
160 ÷ 45 = 3.55 x 75%= 2.66 x 5= 13.3 from 160 = 147

152 ÷ 42 = 3.6 x 75%= 2.7 x 8= 21.6 from 152 = 130

If after the commencement of the second innings there is further loss of time or overs, then the target score must be recalculated.

Results Scoring.
The winning team will be awarded 2 points; the losing side 0 points.
In the event that the scores are tied, regardless of wickets lost, each side will be awarded 1 point.
In the event that a match is abandoned, both sides will be awarded 1 point.
If the leading scores are level at the end of the Tournament, ranking is decided as follows:
First, by the number of wins.
Second by the number of wickets lost.
Third, by the result of the head-to-head match between the two leaders.
Fourth, a bowl-out on the match wicket, with 5 nominated players from each side bowling three balls each.
In the event that the match wicket is not fit for play due to inclement weather, AND indoor facilities are available for use, these should be used.
The Toss of a Coin.

Intervals

The interval between innings may be a maximum of 40 minutes. If both captains agree, the interval may be reduced to not less than 20 minutes.

A maximum of one drinks break of no more than 3 minutes duration is to be allowed in any one innings after 22 overs. However, in very hot weather, and provided that it has been agreed between the Captains and Umpires, additional drinks breaks, again of not more than 3 minutes duration, may be allowed.

No drinks break may be taken in the last 15 overs of an innings. Individual drinks are permitted.

Coloured clothing may be worn.

The T/20 TOURNAMENT

Players

A team may consist of 11 players plus a nominated 12th man who may take the field in the event of injury to one of the side. Umpires must be informed before any player leaves or comes on to the field of play.

Overs

Twenty 6 ball overs per side. Bowlers are restricted to a maximum of 4 overs each.

In the event of inclement weather, matches may be shortened to 15, 10 or 5 overs per innings so as to finish by the scheduled time. A shortened match, once started, must be completed otherwise it will count as a No Result. Each bowler may only bowl a maximum of one fifth of the overs.

Time limits

Each innings must be completed within a total allowance of 1 hour and 20 minutes and pro rata for shortened matches.
The batting side will be awarded 6 runs per over for every full over remaining after the time limit has elapsed if in the opinion of the umpires time has been wasted. The remaining over(s) will be bowled.
The incoming batsman has 90 seconds after the fall of a wicket to be ready to receive the next ball.

Fielding Restrictions

For the first 6 overs a maximum of 2 fielders outside the 30 yard circle. In the case of shortened matches, this restriction will apply for the first 5, 3 or 2 overs of 15, 10 and 5 overs-per-innings matches respectively.
Thereafter a maximum of 5 fielders are allowed outside the 30 yard circle.
At all times a maximum of 5 fielders is allowed on the leg side.

No balls and wides

No ball - short pitched over shoulder height; one run for the no ball, and an extra ball to be bowled.

No ball – full pitch above waist height, batsman standing upright at the crease; one run for the no ball, and an extra ball to be bowled.

Wide ball on the offside over or outside painted white guideline 35 inches from centre stump; one run for the no ball, and an extra ball to be bowled.

‘One day wides’ down the leg side will apply. One run and an extra ball bowled.

Throughout the 20 overs a ‘foot fault’ no ball is worth one run plus an extra ball which is a Free Hit. A ‘foot fault’ no ball shall not count in the over. A Free Hit ball must be a fair delivery. Only if the batsmen have changed ends may the captain adjust his field placings.

Substitute Fielders from another team.
