Cricket Tournament S L Premier league Rules & Regulations:

# Regular T20 rules applicable for all matches.

# There will be neutral umpires for all the matches & umpire decision is final. Again, ground umpire decision is final. Anytime if the Umpires cannot make the decision, organizers will step up and make the decision.

 # One player can play for only one team in the tournament. If it comes to the organizer’s notice that a team has a player who has played for another team in the tournament, then the team will be penalized. The penalty could range from awarding runs to the opponent, reducing overs or awarding win for opposition. This is completely the organizer’s discretion.

# Super Sub allowed for all matches (Super sub rule was to name the 12th player before the toss. But, here there are no such rules, anyone can be super sub, captain will decide and another imp thing, there is no restriction on field, i.e captain can get players on and off the field as per the requirement, however batting and bowling rules will remains same. 11 fielders will be on ground and only 11 can bat).

# 3 day leagues and above level players are not allowed.

# One warning in innings mandatory for Mankad out.

# New players strictly not allowed for knockouts, penalty wold be awarding win for opposition. (Eventhough players already listed in the squad, players who played at least a game in league stages only allowed). 

# Team has to be in the ground 30 minutes before the game start time. If the team doesn’t show up on time, overs will be reduced to delayed team only. This will be followed strictly since we are very restricted on the ground reservation and availability.

# If two or more teams end up with same number of points after Rounds A and/or B, their position in the table will be decided by the following precedence. This is important and very likely to happen in this tournament.

# Team with the BEST run-rate - The run rate of a team will be calculated using very simple math by (Number of Runs scored in both the matches) DIVIDED by (Number of Overs faced in both the matches). It’s just simple math and NO other methods or the number of wickets will come into picture for calculating a team’s run-rate. Of course, when a team wins batting second, then the number of overs they batted to get their target will be used for the run-rate calculation. If any team got bowled out inside their allotted overs (20 overs), then the actual scheduled overs (i.e. 20) will be used to calculate their run-rate – just like any other One-Day Cricket matches!

# It is very rare or quite impossible for two teams ending up with same run-rate. But under the very rare scenario of two teams ending up with the same run-rate, the team which had lost less number of wickets in the league matches will be placed higher than the team which had lost more wickets.

SUPER OVER:

A Super Over, also called a one-over eliminator or officially a one over per side eliminator or Oopse, is a tie-breaking method used in limited overs cricket matches, where both teams play a single, additional over of six balls to determine the winner of the match. A match which goes to a Super Over is officially declared a "tie", and won by the team who had scored the most runs in the Super Over. If the Super Over also ends in a tie, the winner is typically decided by the number of boundaries scored throughout the match.

INTERRUPTIONS AND UNEXPECTED STOPS:

# If the match cannot be played under any un-avoidable conditions such as rain, bad weather/ light, or interruptions of any form, a NEW match will be played between the same two teams at a later time depending upon the ground availability.  (DLS applicable after completion of 5 overs in second innings)

# The new match will NOT be continued from the state it was halted no matter what.

# ONLY the Umpires of that match have the right to declare if a match cannot be continued. The batsman can only appeal if he thinks he cannot see the ball or appeal for other unplayable conditions but if the Umpire thinks otherwise and requests that play shall be continued, the match MUST be continued. If not, the team who doesn’t want to play still will forfeit the match and declared to have lost the match.

# Also, if a team misbehaves on the field such as abuse a player/ umpire or indulge in any activities that may cause unnecessary problems, the Umpires have the right to STOP the match at any time and declare the Winners.

# Again, anytime if the Umpires cannot make the decision, organizers will step up and make the decision.

SCHEDULE:

# All league matches schedule will be given in one shot and there won't be any further changes allowed in the fixtures.

# All Saturday and Sunday pool teams should be flexible to play either Saturday or Sunday for Knockots.
