? Playing Rules & Regulations:

1. Squad Submission – Playing 20:

Each team must submit a final list of 20 players before the tournament begins

The reason is simple — we don’t want any captain later saying:

“My players weren’t available, bro!” ?

If any player outside the submitted list plays, the match will be awarded to the opponent

A maximum of 12 players can play in a match (11 on-field 1 substitute)

3. Umpire Rules:

The umpire’s decision is final

Only team captains are allowed to speak with the umpire

4. Punctuality & Reporting:

Matches must start at the scheduled time

Late teams may face over reduction, as decided by the umpire

5. No Rescheduling:

Once the schedule is released, no changes will be made under any condition

?️ Rain Rules (DLS Method):

If a match is completely abandoned due to rain, both teams will get 1 point

If the second innings completes at least 6 overs, the result will be decided using the DLS method

If not, the match will be declared abandoned

? Knockout Matches (LTP):

The losing team pays the full ground & umpire charges.

(In case of night matches: 70:30 ratio will apply for ground charges, umpire fee will still be shared 50:50.)
