[six and out]

Hi all,

As you may have seen on the 'Your 2017 Season' thread i have recently had some very frustrating games - to the extent that i believe the rules in the league i play in (Four Counties) need to change.

Therefore i am hoping to propose at the League AGM a change to the overs, points, go to win/lose etc... not sure yet.

I want to do some research into what might be the best way forwards for the league, so was wondering what you all play?

Do you play win/lose or is a draw available?
How many overs?
What is the points system? eg. How many for a win etc...
Any other comments about it being good/bad etc...

Thanks

Play 40 overs Win/Lose cricket
Points is that you can get 15 points for a win
Bonus point for every two wickets you take
When chasing bonus points are available, 1 for getting within 90 runs of Target, 2 for within 80 and so on, so a maximum of 14 bonus points could be taken from a match without winning (9 Batting Points and 5 Bowling a Bonus points)
Maximum points from a game is 20 (15 for the win and 5 bonus bowling points) if the team doesn't have a full 11 but are all out full bowling points are awarded.

Personally a big fan of the points system as means even if you're not going to win you can still get points and bonus batting points encourages teams to go for the score

46 overs. Overs do not carry over.
20 points for winner.
5 bonus points if you win and bowl the opposition out(regardless of innings) so total of 25 points.

Losing side get bonus points based on the second innings, so percentage of runs equals bonus points, or amount for wickets taken equals bonus points.

Think it's 9 available in total for that.

I don't play any weekend cricket at the moment just midweek slap and tickle so 20 overs a side 2 points for a win 1 for a tie

[RF]

We play 45 Overs per side (Max 15 Overs per bowler).
10 Points for a win
Batting Bonus Points at 120, 140, 160, 180 & 200
Bowling Bonus Points at 3 wkts, 5, 7, 9 & 10
Full 20 Points if you bowl the oppostion all out and then knock them off.
It's the best rules / points system that we've had.
Nice and simple and no winning or losing draws which can lead to very boring cricket.
Most teams (not all) play to win rather than trying to prevent the other team getting points.

Half the season is 50 over win/lose games, 20 points for the win.
Half the season is 100 over 'timed' games. Team batting first can only bat a maximum of 55 overs (can declare any time before then). The team batting second gets the difference in overs between 100 and what the team batting first batted. The team bowling second has to get the other side all out in order to win, or it's a draw. Obviously if the total is chased that team wins. 24 points for the win in the 'timed' games. 4 points for a winning draw, 2 for a losing draw. Winning and losing draws are calculated on which side has the higher run rate.

Bonus points are awarded in all games unless you win, in which case you just get the points for winning.
1 point for 150 runs then an extra bonus point for every 25 runs up to 250.
1 point for 5 wickets then 1 each for 7, 8, 9 and 10 wickets.

I personally really like how it is. The 'timed' games can be really frustrating when a team loses a few wickets then blocks out 35-40 overs for very few runs but it's different from the win/lose matches and can actually make for some really interesting games.

Two dayers ( 78 over minimum per day , sometimescan get up to 90 odd  overs if over rate is good ; you can continue to bat for 15 overs on the 2nd day) :
12pts outright win ( or 6pts each if one sidewins on first innings and the other wins outright )
6pts win
3 pts draw/tie/no result
0pts loss

One dayers ( 50 overs ) :
6pts win
3pts tie/no result
0pts loss
1 bonus point if you get the runs within 40 overs, 2 bonus points if you get the runs within 25 overs
1 bonus point if you bowl them out for 50 runs less than your total, 2 bonus points if you bowl them out for 100 runs less than your total
Same powerplays/fielding restrictions as international o.d.i .

[InternalTraining]

Some interesting rules.

[wcc]

Timed cricket with winning and losing draws.
105 overs.
First innings 55 over max.
18 points for a win and you can get upto a total of 30 points based on alot of different factors.

[geeders]

46 overs each
12 points for a win
bonus points for 120,140,160 and 180 runs
bonus point for 3,5,7 and 9 wickets
10 points for a winning draw
2 points for a losing draw
6 points for tie/abandoned game

so 20 points maximum for a game. The bonus points does give something to play for and can make games a bit more interesting

[csnew]

Stupid TVL rules, win/lose/draw
52 overs max batting first, 48 batting second. 25 points either way.

Team fielding second can also take the old ball 

[iand123]

Kent Cricket League - Win lose draw - 46 or 50 overs (more overs the higher up), 14 overs per bowler max. 20 points if you win the toss and bat first (and win the game), 16 if you choose to bowl first. Winning draw 6 points, losing draw 0 points. Bonus points for batting are something like a point at 150, 175 and 200. Believe bolwing points are a point for 3, 5, 7 and 9 wickets taken

[shamelessshaun]

50 ovs a side Win/lose cricket.
10 points for a win with the losing side getting batting/bowling points for the second innings only.

Batting second you get 1 point for achieving 50% of your target, then one point for reaching 60%, 70%, 80% and 90% (5 points maximum)
Bowling second you get 1 point for 5 wickets then 1 extra per wicket after, up till 9 down obviously (5 points maximum)
A tied game is 7 points a piece.

the set up works well although bowlers can bowl 15 overs maximum, so if they have a good pro it works in their favour. I would like to see 10 overs per bowler.

Half season win loose half win loose draw

Win loose simple
9 overs per bowler
45 over games
20 points for a win
Bonus points at 100,125,15,175,200 bowling 2,4,6,8,10

Win loose draw

45 over game
Max 14 overs per bowler
Min 50% needed to gain draw points otherwise other side gets max points
Bonus as above
Draw is 10 points divided between depending on percentage of score achieved
Bonus 4 points if you bat first

Much prefer the win loose

[TGB1997]

Kent Prem- Win/Lose 50 overs per side, fielding restrictions similar to ODI's without the 3rd power play. 10 overs per bowler and free hit for front foot no balls (its been a bit confusing this year as some umpire give all no balls as free hits and other haven't enforced this for some reason). List A/ODI wide rules are also applied.
