RULES GOVERNING THIS TOURNAMENT

Format

• T 08 match format involves two teams, each with a single innings, the key difference being each team bats for a maximum of 08 over’s .
• The Laws of cricket apply, with some exceptions:
• Two bowlers can bowl a maximum of 2 overs only. The remaining 4 bowlers will be able to bowl 01 over each.
• Each bowling team is entitled to a max of 35 minutes in which they must bowl their stipulated 08 over’s. In the event of less over’s being bowled the batting side shall be awarded 15 penalty runs per over less bowled. However the fielding side will still have to complete its stipulated 08 over’s unless the opposite team is bowled out before the same. For e.g. 07 over’s bowled in 40 minutes. The batting side will be awarded 15 extra runs in addition to the number of runs they manage to score in the 08th over. This would apply to the team whether bowling first or second. The over which begins even in the 35th minute of playing time shall be considered as a valid over in the above system of penalty calculation and there will be no penalty levied for the same. The organizing committee will be the final authority to impose this penalty
• The umpire may add extra time to the stipulated 35 minutes if they believe the batting team is wasting time. The batting team will have its score reduced by 15 runs per 4 minutes of delay. The umpires will impose these penalties, which will be final upholding keeping the spirit of the game, in a fair manner. The ORGANISING COMMITTEE will be the final authority to impose this penalty.
• Every Team is required to report a minimum of one hour prior to its playing schedule as per the time sheet. Any team starting their innings late will automatically forfeit runs as explained above. A walkover also can be awarded.
• If the side batting first is dismissed in less than scheduled or rescheduled number of over’s, the team batting second shall be entitled to bat for their full scheduled number of over’s unless a result is obtained earlier.
• If any team does not take its Position on the Field within Fifteen Minutes of the match being announced, a walk over will be handed over to the Team in Place.
• In result of a tie In a bowl out each team will nominate five bowlers and they will bowl one ball each to the three stumps. The team hitting the wickets and thereby dislodging the bails for the maximum of the five balls will be the declared victors. If there is still a tie then a toss of a coin will decide the winner.
• To constitute a match, a minimum of 4 overs have to be bowled to the side batting second, subject to the innings not being completed earlier. In a delay or interrupted match where the over’s are reduced for both the teams no bowler may bowl more than 1 over.
• Any bowler found “chucking” during the over will be warned once and the Captain informed of the same. A repeat of the incident will lead to his over being terminated. Another bowler of the team can continue the over provided his stipulated number of over’s have not been completed. The terminated bowler will not be allowed to bowl in the tournament.
