Event Details

Pitch

• The pitch is offset towards the strikers end to offer a longer boundary to the boundary wall behind the bowler
• Length of Pitch = 21 yards

Teams

• Each team is made up of 8 players including a wicketkeeper who does not bowl
• A captain is appointed in each team
• The captain in consultation with team mates is responsible for field placements and order of batting

Batting

• Each team has 1 innings which will consist of 6 overs
• An innings is closed after 6 overs or if all the batters are out
• Normal rules apply except

1. Non striking batter waits level with and to the side of the 'running crease' and may not interfere with any ball bowled
2. Batters change ends at the end of each over
3. Batters may be caught out off the ceiling and walls (except the boundary wall) providing the ball has not touched the floor
4. To run out a batter running to the 'running crease' the wicket has to be broken at the end the batter is running towards
5. LBW may only be given if a batter deliberately blocks the ball to prevent it hitting the wicket
6. A single remaining batter may continue batting; changing ends as necessary to recieve strike
7. A partner must run with the remaining batter; the whole side is out when the solo batter is out or either player is run out
8. A batter retires on 15 but the last scoring hit counts (i.e. if on 14 and scores 6 on the next hit, the batter retires on 20)
9. A retired batter may only resume their innings when only one batter remains

Fielding

• Captain tells fielders where to position
• With the exception of the wicket keeper, no fielder is allowed to stand within 10 yards of the striking batter until the ball is played

Bowling

• Bowl from one end only
• Overarm bowling
• 6 balls to be bowled in any over
• Everyone has to bowl 1 over except the wicket keeper and 1 other player
• The ball which follows a no-ball or wide is a FREE HIT (striker cannot be out on that hit)

Scoring

• Batters may run on any ball whether it is hit or not
• Batters score runs by running between the striker's popping crease and the running crease (score 1 for each completed run)

ZONE SCORING

• 1 run is added to the batters score if a struck ball hits any wall other than the boundary wall behind the bowler

BOUNDARIES

• 4 runs are added to the batters score if a struck ball hits the floors and then the boundary wall behind the bowler without touching any other wall beforehand
• 6 runs are added to the batters score if a struck ball hits the boundary wall behind the bowler without touching the floor or any other wall beforehand

EXTRAS

• Add 2 runs to the team score for each no-ball or wide bowled by the opposition team (any completed runs, zone scores or boundaries are also added to the team score)
• If the FREE HIT (immediately following a wide or no ball) is also a wide or no-ball, that ball is pronounced dead and 6 runs are added to the team score
• NOTE - If a no-ball or wide is bowled immediately after a FREE HIT then 2 extra runs are scored as described above. The following ball would then be a FREE HIT, unless 6 balls have already been bowled in which case the over is ended and an additional 6 runs are added to the team score
