	6. Cup Format and Rules: same as last year see below

	7. League Format Changes

These will stay the same as last year.

We will play a points system for the League.

Win: 10pts

Tie: 5pts each

Lose: 0pts

Batting Bonus Points Bowling Bonus Points

50 runs = 1 pt 2 wickets = 1pt

75 runs = 2 pts 4 wickets = 2pt

100 runs = 3 pts 6 wickets = 3pt

125 runs = 4 pts 8 wickets = 4pt

150 runs = 5 pts 10 or all wickets = 5pt

Wickets in hand bonus points (if batting second and winning)

2 wickets in hand = 1pt

4 wickets in hand = 2pts

6 wickets in hand = 3pts

8 wickets in hand = 4pts

10 or all wickets in hand = 5pts

However, a maximum of 5 points can be awarded for batting/wickets in hand combined. This means a maximum of 10 bonus points are available for both teams each game regardless of batting first or second.

Maximum points available to winning side = 20 pts.

Maximum points available to losing side = 10 pts.

A forfeit gives the winning side 20pts and the losing side 0 pts.

NB When you have won you cannot continue batting to earn more points.

8. Other Changes for both formats as applicable

a) Wides: To captains and umpires please consider if a ball is playable when calling a wide.

b) Neutral umpires will be used in the cup final again, eg non playing captains, to be agreed upon by both finalist's captains or if there is a problem the league chairman

c) Home games can be played at another venue ONLY if both captains agree

d) Bouncers deliberately bowled over the shoulder will be called no ball. Both captains should be informed. Next deliberate over the shoulder ball by that bowler will be called no ball, and the bowler is prevented from bowling for the rest of the innings.

Rain affected Fixtures
Delayed start or rain affected games can have reduced overs rules if agreed by both captains.
For abandoned games the council do not usually charge, so can be re-arranged for free.
Both captains should agree to abandon game, but for slippery conditions one captain can abandon a game for health and safety reasons. We had a breakage last year.

If a rearranged game cannot be played due to bad weather or team withdrawal then the winning team will receive the highest winning points scored from any other team in the league at the end of the season, or if nobody else has beaten them then the full points available.  

Please remember the spirit of the league is to play as many games as possible in a friendly manner.
Any conflicts will resolved by an EGM.

New rule: Maximum points earned by a team that wins by walkover will not be more than the most points any other team has scored against that team in the season in the league.

ie In the event of a team being unable to complete a fixture this will result in the other team being awarded the Maximum number of points that have been scored against that team in the season.

Adam Foster to stay as Chairman and Fixture Secretary. 
Rob Bingham is new Treasurer.

Pink (not white) high visibility balls can be used. Mutual agreed decision preferred. Home team captain has final decision and must inform away captain before the toss. 

Chris suggested that if the league folds we should donate any cash to a charity of the committee’s choice. This was agreed.

Fernhill: Minimum of 8 players needed per team to play. Please lend fielders!
If team cannot get 8 players within 48hrs then ultimately the opposing captain can claim a forefeit and losing team has to pay for the pitch, but we’d prefer you to reschedule and split the costs. 

If it is a cup match and there is an odd player, then they only get 1 over to bat not 1.5 overs. They will face all 8 balls.

Super over in the cup: Double runs, double extras, -6 for a wicket but batsman HAVE to swap ends. Captain calls when super over is before first ball bowled in an over, and bowler can be changed after it is called. Each team must do a Super Over. The odd player batting by himself cannot use the Super Over. 

Cup rules: last over is still 2 runs per wide or no ball. Four runs in a Super Over. ie no extra balls ever.

Crown and Cushion matches give an advantage for batting so decided not to use this pitch for league matches.

Sixes for 2015 to be calculated by Adam.
Insurance Link was useful.

2016 Ball orders:
Easams want 6 pink and 6 red.
EDS want 6 pink and 6 red.
