Competition Format

Format:

Round Robin

Match Format:

Round Robin matches are to be of 60-minute duration, or 5 innings, whichever comes first for Split Round Robins.  The Times for Full Round Robins will be communicated in the draw. If innings are not even at ‘time’, scores revert back to even innings. If the team batting second has scored at least one more run than the first team and they are still at bat, then that team shall be the winner. Draws will stand in the Round-Robin matches. 

Points are to be awarded for the Round-Robin matches to determine the winner on the following basis:

                                                Win: 2 points      Draw: 1 point   Loss: 0 points

Should two teams finish the competition with the same number of points, the relative positions will be determined by the result of the Round Robin match between these two teams.   If more than two teams were equal or if the result was a draw then percentage will be used.

When doing these calculations involving a three way tie, the convener should only include the results of the 3 teams tied NOT the results from the games with the fourth team. Please note when doing calculations in a two way tie ALL teams’ results are to be used!

If at the completion of even innings from the call of side out there remains less than 5 minutes before the scheduled end of the game, a further innings shall not be commenced.

The 7 run rule will apply. That is once 7 runs have been scored in one innings the side batting will be deemed to be out.

Mercy rule: 15 runs after 3 innings; 10 runs after 4 innings, 7 runs after 5 innings.

Any forfeit shall be scored at 7-0.

All teams to consist of nine or more players per game, with a maximum of 16 for the day.

Two time-outs are permitted per team per game.

A team may declare its innings closed at any time.

For non-fixed bases, the ‘Sliding base' rule applies. That is, if the base runner slides into base and knocks the base away, she shall hold her position. The umpire shall then call ‘time', and then replace the base.
