FORMAT :
 Each game will be played with 15 overs per innings.
 Each side will have 11 players on the field and 4 players on deck. Teams have to provide the list of 15 people in advance.
 A bowler can bowl a maximum of 3 overs. There needs to be minimum 5 bowlers.
IMPORTANT POINTS OF NOTE
 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. Also, the Organizers have the right to over-rule umpire’s decisions on whether a match can/cannot be continued.
 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 to even disqualifying the team. This is completely the organizer’s discretion.
 Team has to be in the ground 30 minutes before the game start time. If the team doesn’t show up on time, the other team will be declared as the winner. This will be followed strictly since we are very restricted on the ground reservation and availability.
 Organizers have the right to cancel the match at any point of time. Also, organizers have the right to eliminate any teams from the tournament at any point depending upon the situation. Tournament fee will not be refunded at any cost.
HOW STANDINGS ARE DECIDED?
 In the Round A and B matches, the winning team gets 2 points and the losing team gets 0 points. In case of a tie, each team will get 1 point (no re-match will be considered in case of a tie).
 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 (15 overs), then the actual scheduled overs (i.e. 15) will be used to calculate their run-rate – just like any other One-Day Cricket matches! The run-rate will be calculated to 2 decimals.
 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.
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, basd on the organizor's decision either D/L method be implemented or a NEW match will be played between the same two teams at a later time depending upon the ground availability.
 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.
 Also, the Organizers have the right to over-rule Umpires decisions on whether a match can/cannot be continued.
SOME GAME SPECIFIC RULES
 Free Hit: A Free Hit is awarded to the batting team if the bowler bowls a no-ball (over stepping only and NOT a waist high full toss no ball or over the shoulder no ball).
 There is run out on the free hit & the ball will be counted.
 Field cannot be changed unless the batsman changed ends.
 There are no leg byes or LBW in this tournament. Over stepping while bowling is considered as a No ball, but bowling from slight out side the box on either side may not.
