The following teams were confirmed for the 2015 season:

Easams ,
 Fernhill, 
Auto Desk

 HP (League Only) 
BAM Nuttal (Possibly Cup  only)

League 5 teams play each other once
Cup 4 teams play each other once and then a final

So with rule of thumb: 4 league teams play each other twice, 5 or more 1 time each.
Games at watchetts at and arena and possibly frimley rec and lodge and Crown and cushion

It was agreed that we would like to include a few more teams if possible.
No response from vmWare or Visa said nobody to organize .
Fernhill prefer thursdays cannot do tuesdays, will need to bring in ex-players and pupils.

It was agreed that all current teams will follow up with prospective entrants, and that we would extend the deadline for entry until 14th April 2015.

Entries must be received by the league Chairman by that date.

Rob from HP would like to play games at Crown and cushion pitch. If it is a home game and the opposing captain agrees the game can be played at crown and cushon.
Note these games may be cheaper.
	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.
