Point Systems
Checks & Balances
These systems are used to calculate the Net Run Rate, decide in cases of Ties and for preventing those above from being implemented.
Bonus Point System
1 bonus point for any team that achieves victory with a run rate 1.25 times that of the oppisition.
A team's run rate will be calculated by reference to the number of runs scored divided by the number of overs.balls faced.
Where a side is all out, the number of overs to be used is the maximum number of overs that side was otherwise eligible to face.
Where matches are shortened and targets revised, bonus run rates and bonus defensive targets are derived as a function of the revised target score (less one run) and maximun overs.
Whenever a target, or revised target, is set, the exact number of overs.balls within which the side batting second must achieve this target in order to gain the bonus point should be annouced. Once these overs.balls have been bowled, if the target has not been achieved the bonus point can not be gained by any subsequent event, eg a multiple scoring shot, or extras.
