Rules

1.Aim

Enjoyment for, and fair play by, all players.

2.Pitch

Two sets of wickets, 16 yards apart.

3.Teams

Each team comprises of 8 players. Squads are limited to 10 players..

In the event of injury to a player, a substitute will be allowed to field, but not bowl. Should such an injury prevent the player batting, a substitute will be allowed to bat only with the permission of the opposing member of staff.

4.The Start

The two teams toss up a coin to decide which team has the choice of either batting or fielding first.

5.The Game

Throughout the Tournament each game shall consist of one innings per team, each innings to be 8 overs long.

6.Batting & Scoring

The batting side shall be divided into pairs, each pair batting for 2 overs, with a new pair starting at the end of the second, fourth and sixth overs.

Each team starts batting with a score of 200 runs.

Each time a batter is out, 5 runs are deducted and the other batter of the pair faces the next ball.

A batter may be out bowled, caught, run out, stumped, hit wicket.

There is no LBW law unless the batter deliberately blocks the ball with a leg or foot.

Runs will be scored in the normal way, as will byes.

2 runs will be awarded to the batting team for each wide ball and no-ball bowled, but no extra ball will be allocated, except in the final over of each innings when, in addition to the 2 runs, an extra ball will be bowled. See glossary overleaf for details.

At the end of the first 2 overs, the first pair of batters retires and isare replaced by the second pair until all 4 pairs have batted for 2 overs each.

The second team then bats for its 8 overs.

7.Bowling and Fielding

Each player on the fielding side must bowl 1 over.

Bowling WILLshould be over-arm onlywhere possible.

Players on the fielding side DO NOT need to rotate fielding positions.

With the exception of the wicketkeeper, no fielder is allowed within 10 yards of the batter until the ball is played by the batter. A fielder may move into the restricted area to make a catch or field a ball provided he/she was outside the area when the stroke was made.

8.The Result

See Competition Structure – 3. Format.

Glossary

An Over

An over consists of 6 balls.

LBW (Leg Before Wicket)

In very simple terms, a batter can be given out if the umpire feels that a ball, which hits his/her leg or foot, would have hit the stumps. This law will NOT be used UNLESS a batter deliberately blocks or kicks the ball with his/her leg or foot.

A Bye

If a batter misses the ball, or if it hits their body, they may still run and score “byes”.

Wide Ball

A ball that is too far from the batsman to strike will be called a “wide”. A ball will not be called a wide, no matter how wayward it may be, if the batsman manages to hit it!

If a ball results in more than 2 “wides”, they will be added to the batting team’s score and the 2 runs for the wide will be ignored. E.g. a bowler bowls a wide ball which is missed by the wicketkeeper and crosses the boundary for 4. 4 runs are given to the batting side, not 6.

No Ball

If a ball, bowled, bounces more than once before reaching the batsman (one bounce only allowed after passing the batter and before reaching the stumps), or if it reaches the batsman above shoulder height without bouncing, it will be called a “No Ball”.

A batsman may hit a “No Ball” and if that shot results in 3 or more runs being scored, that score will count and the 2 runs for the No Ball will be ignored. If 1 or 2 runs are scored, the batsman will be credited with 2 runs for the No Ball.
