will not change the schedule, once it is uploaded on the site. If the teams
want to change it by talking to other teams (both opponent and umpiring teams)
they can do so but ARCL will bear no responsibility if there are any
concerns/issues later on. The teams would have to bear the ground
responsibility as well. If for some reason (miss-communication, no-show by
either team, no-show by umpire etc) the match
was abandoned then both the teams will get zero points for that match and they
will be penalized with 20 points each. If the match was abandoned due to bad
weather then the bad weather rule will apply.

the neutral umpire can call the games off.
o
In case of a dispute on whether the game should be called
off or not, the decision of neutral umpire will be considered final.

If the match (league or playoff match – quarter,
semis, finals) is stopped due to bad weather and it’s below 3/4 (eg in case of 16 overs match, 3/4th match means 16
overs of first innings and 8 overs of the second innings) then it will be
considered as “not played”, both teams will get zero points (rankings/Positions
are calculated based on average.). If it’s a playoff match then the team with
the highest average points during the league phase will win. The match won’t be
re-scheduled.
o
If the match is abandon then the team will have to login to
the website and mark the game as abandon.
o
The deadline to mark the game as abandon is same as the

“failure to upload the scorecard” penalty will kick in automatically and both
teams will get zero points and the match will be counted as played and it will
impact the average.
o
If the match (league or playoff match) is stopped due to bad
weather and it’s beyond 3/4 (eg in case of 16
overs match, 3/4th match means 16 overs of first innings and 8 overs of the
second innings) then the team with higher run rate wins the match.
o
Games that are affected due to WEATHER or circumstances that
are not in ARCL’s control will NOT be rescheduled. The game will either be
considered abandoned or if more than 3/4th of the game was played then the rule
above applies.
o
When there has been a mistake on part of ARCL (e.g.
scheduling conflict, ground not reserved etc),
ARCL will reschedule that game.
o
ARCL reserves the right to investigate and propose alternate
solution in case of extreme situations. In this case ARCL will communicate its
stance to the affected teams.

Losing team can get a maximum of 10 bonus points. Below is
how these points will be calculated.

gets them all out and lose, they will get maximum points for bowling regardless
of wickets they took since ALL OUT will be considered a special case.
·
Winning team gets 20 points plus the leftover bonus points
from losing team. For example if the losing teams gets 4 points, the winning
team will get 20 + (10-4) = 26 points.
·

points
At the
end of the season, the awardees will be displayed on the website under your

Note:
If there are multiple players with same points in the individual award
categories (Best batsman, bowler, allrounder) then
all players with same points will get the award.
LBW:
·
If the ball hits the legs of the batswoman first (doesn’t
matter if it hits the bat later), it is called LBW and the batswoman is not
out. She cannot take any runs. But she can get out either by stumping or if the
ball (after it hits the leg/body) rolls onto the stumps. It is ok for the
batswoman to kick or move the ball using the bat in such a case but not use her
hands.
Byes:
·
If the batswoman misses a ball and the wicket-keeper fails
to gather it, the batswoman may take runs. These runs are called Byes. Players
must rotate strikes for odd number of byes.
·
Run out or stumping on a bye run is valid.
·
However if the ball hits the leg or any part of body (except
the gloves or hands up to wrist, if the player is wearing it) no runs
can be taken but the ball will be counted as a valid ball.
Wide:
·
A white line or a marker on the offside will be drawn to
help the umpires in giving wides.
·
The wide line will be 29 inches from the offside base of the
stump. Even if the ball touches the wide line, the ball is counted as a wide.
·
Anything on the leg side outside the leg stump is a wide.
·
If the ball passes the batswoman from the leg side and it’s
on the leg stump then it’s not a wide.
·
A ball is a wide ball if it passes over the wide line where
the batswoman is standing. In other words, if the ball pitches outside the wide
line and spins inside the wide line near the batswoman, so as to be within the
reach of the batswoman, the ball is not wide. On the other hand, if the ball
pitches inside the wide line but spins outside the wide line and is so out of
the reach of the batswoman, it is a wide ball
·
A ball is a wide ball if it bounces above the head of the
batswoman. If the batswoman is out of the crease then it’s the umpire’s call.
No-ball:
·
A ball is a No-ball if it is a full toss above the waist. If
the batswoman is out of the crease then it’s the umpire’s call. No free-hit
will be awarded for no-balls.
·
It is a no-ball if the bowler bowls without the umpire
indicating that the field was ready for play.
·
Is it s no-ball if the
bowler oversteps the crease line while bowling (it is ok to step after the ball
has left the hands of the bowler). If the heel of the bowler’s leg crosses the
crease before delivering the ball it is a no-ball.
·
It is a no-ball if the bowler bowls from outside the sides
of the crease boundaries.
·
One run will be granted for no ball and the ball will be
repeated. The run will be added to whatever is scored by the batswoman.
Umpire’s call is FINAL.
·
The only way to get out on a no-ball is a run-out.
·
Hit-wicket or being caught on such a ball will not get the
player out.
·
If a ball is both wide and no-ball, it is counted as a
no-ball.
·
The umpire should ask the bowling action from the bowler.
It’s not a No-ball if the player doesn’t call his action.
·
All the “no-ball” decisions will be called out by the main
umpire. Leg umpire can suggest or request or provide more data about waist
height full toss or above head no-ball but the Main is the final decision
maker.
Dead-Ball:
·
If a ball bounces twice in front of the batswoman, the ball
will be called a dead-ball and will need to be replayed.
·
There will be no runs granted on a dead-ball.
·
If a wide ball is also dead, it will be declared a
dead-ball.
·
If a ball is dead, the ball is considered no longer in play.
·
If a dead ball rolls and hits the wicket, it is not out.
Hit Wicket:
·
If, in attempting to hit a ball or taking off for a first
run, the batswoman touches and breaks the wicket (with the bat or some other
piece of equipment), this is called hit wicket and the batswoman is declared
out.
·
Hit wicket is valid on a normal ball as well as on a wide
ball. However in case of a dead-ball or a no-ball, it is invalid.
Over-throws:
·
If no fielder near the pitch gathers the ball and it
continues into the field again, the batswoman may take more runs.
·
If the ball reaches the boundary on an overthrow, four runs
are scored in addition to the runs taken before the overthrow
occurred.
Stumped:
·
If a batswoman misses the ball and in attempting to play it,
steps outside the crease, she is out stumped if the wicket-keeper gathers the
ball and breaks the wicket with it before the batswoman can ground part of his
body or his bat behind the crease.
·
If a player is out of the crease and the ball hits its legs,
the keeper can still get the player stumped. However, the keeper cannot get the
player run out. Umpire needs to be careful when determining this.
·
On the line is out
Run-outs:
·
A run-out is when a batswoman is attempting to take a run, or
to return to his crease after an aborted run, and a fielder breaks that
batswoman’s wicket with the ball while she is out of the crease.
·
It is possible for the non-striker to be run out if the
striker hits the ball straight down the pitch towards the non-striker’s wicket,
and the bowler/fielder deflects the ball on to the wicket while the non-striker
is out of his crease.
·
If the ball is hit directly on to the non-striker’s
wicket, without being touched by a fielder, then the non-striker is
not out.
·
Batswomen cannot be run out while the ball is not in play -
so they may confer in the middle of the pitch between deliveries if they
desire.
·
For a run-out, the fielder has to break the wicket with the
ball directly or with the hand that holds the ball. The fielder cannot hold the
ball in one hand and touch the wicket with the other hand.
·
In case of a run-out, the batswoman nearest to the side of
the wickets that are broken, is out.
·
The batswoman must have some part of his body or his bat
(provided she is holding it) grounded behind (not on) the crease.
·
When the wicket keeper or the fielders break the stumps
before collecting the ball then to run-out they have to hold the stumps and the
ball in their hands, touching each other.
·
The ball is not dead if the fielder collects the ball and
throws it towards the bowler or the fields and they miss to collect it, in that
case the batswoman can take run(s).
·
The base of the stumps is to be treated as the wicket in
case of run-outs, bowled, etc.
·
On the line is out
Caught out:
·
No runs are scored on a caught out even if the batswomen
cross each other before the ball is caught. In case the batswomen cross over,
the new batswoman will take the strike and if its the
end of the over then the other batswomen will take the strike.
·
If the batswoman and runner run to the other crease before
the ball is caught, the runner maintains his position.
Runs:
·
A run is scored by the batswomen when they both reach the
opposite creases.
·
If the batswoman and runner cross each other before getting catch
or made run-out, for the next ball, the batswomen position themselves near the
wickets they were running towards.
·
No run is awarded if a catch or a run-out was made after the
run commenced.
·
If, while running multiple runs, a batswoman does not touch the
ground beyond the crease before she returns for the next run, then the umpire
at that end will signal one short, and that run will not be counted.
·
Any time a ball in play goes beyond the boundary line behind
the wickets, the runs are considered declared. If it is within the first set of
flags marking the boundary, it is a 1-D else it is a 2-D. On 1-D, the players
need to rotate strike.
Umpiring
·
In case the captain is sick/out of town,
the vice-captain (who typically is the other team contact) should take
up the Captain's responsibilities.

·
In case of any issues that arise during the game, captains
and only captains should talk to the umpires. Please ask your players to not
yell or argue with the umpire. Umpire can give a warning to both captains in
this case. If issue persists, the umpire has the authority to send the player
out of the field or call off the match and award the points to the other team.

We’ll
follow this process when more than two teams have equal points (3-way tie,
4-way tie etc)
Eg : Consider 3 teams A, B
and C. they all have equal points
Net
Run Rate = (Runs Scored / Overs Played) - (Runs Conceded / Overs Bowled)
HOW
NET RUN-RATE IS CALCULATED: Net run-rate is calculated by deducting from the
average runs per over scored by that a team throughout the competition, the
average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition. For
example: India's net run-rate in the super six is calculated as follows: calculated
as follows:

R
= runs scored in each match
B
= balls faced in each match
R/r
= India's run-rate is calculated as 1185 / 246 = 4.817 (4.82)
R/r
= India's opponents run-rate is calculated as 1221 / 245.4 = 4.970 (4.97)
Note:
In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the
calculation of its net run-rate shall be based on the full quota of overs to
which it would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the
team was dismissed. (For example: refer table R3 and B3 above. India against
Australia were all out for 205, so B3 is 300 balls and not 290 (48.2 overs) -
the actual balls required for India to make these runs)
Calculations
for below scenario
Matches
in which defaulting team wins, the 20 points will be made zero and the match
will be counted as played; opponents points will be made zero and the match
will be counted as not played. (rankings/Positions are
calculated based on average.)
Team-A
has used illegal player in Team-B’s match; so they will lose 20 points;
the match will be counted as played for Team-A so their avg would be now 11 (44/4)
