Rules for Tape Ball Tournament 2024

All 8 wickets are needed to bowl a team out. When the seventh wicket falls, the Last Man stands alone. The Last Man can only score boundaries (2s, 4s, or 6s). He can only be run out at the popping crease by the striker's end (or keeper's end). If there is a run out under this rule, the Last Man will not receive any runs for completing the first run. Essentially, it’s two runs if both the first and the second runs are completed, and zero if only the first run is completed.

Overs 1-5 (30 balls): One bowler can bowl 2 overs; the rest can bowl 1 over each.

Semis & Final: 6 overs (36 balls): Two bowlers can bowl 2 overs each; the rest can bowl 1 over each.

A bouncer above the shoulder will be considered a no ball, resulting in a free hit. A bouncer above the shoulder will not be called a no ball if the batsman attempts a shot and the ball touches the bat. A beamer above waist height will be considered a no ball, and a free hit will be awarded for the next delivery.

There is absolutely no arguing with the umpires. The umpires' decisions are final.

In an event if any of the playing teams members including the captains goes on to the field to argue with the umpires and/or to disrupt the game, will lose the game and the points will be awarded to the opponent team.
