When two teams have equal points and equal net run rate, the team which was the winner of the head-to head match played between them will be placed in the higher position.
When more than two teams have equal points and equal net run rate, the team which was the winner of most number of matches played between those teams will be placed in the higher position.
For example, if 3 teams are tied in the following scenario:
· Team A beat team B but lost to Team C Team B lost to A but did not play Team C
· Head-to-head: Team A is 1-1 (50% win) Team B is 0-1 (0% win) and Team C is 1-0 (100% win) So Team C is ranked higher than Team A and Team A higher than Team B.
· If still equal, the team with the higher number of wickets taken will be placed in the higher position.
· In the highly unlikely event that teams cannot be separated by the above criteria then random draw will be used to choose the winner between the contending teams.
7) Neutral umpires for all the matches will be duly assigned by CIL from non-playing teams. Please see page 17 for umpiring duties and rules. 8) All the matches will be scheduled only on Saturday and should be played only on the allotted time & Date. 9) Ground(s) will be reserved by CIL and schedule will be published based on ground’s availability. 10) Request’s for rescheduling matches will not be entertained.

11) If there is a rain interruption/ wet field due to overnight rain on scheduled
date/time, matches will not be rescheduled/pushed. Points will be equally shared
by both the teams and the match will be considered as “No result”.
a) In an instance where two matches have been called off for a particular team due to rain/ground/pitch conditions, then the following matches will be rescheduled by CIL if it happens to be abandoned. In other words, no reschedule by CIL for first two matches call off. Each team have to play minimum 4 matches with result to be a contender for play offs.
b) Given the above condition, in case if “Team A” had 2 “No result” matches and their 3rd match against “Team B” which happened to be called off, then the benefit will go to “Team A”. No matter if “Team B” had 1 or 0 “No result” matches, this match will be rescheduled by CIL.
c) Scenario where there is a rain at 10 AM, but rain stops at 12:00 PM then 10 AM match will not be rescheduled/pushed to 12 PM. However the 12 PM match will/can be played as per the schedule. d) Alternatively if both the team captains are in mutual agreement and feels that point share is not fair then they can very well reschedule the match and play any time on or before the following “Wednesday”. e) CIL is not responsible to coordinate/follow up on the matches where
captains/teams agreed to play other than the proposed CIL schedule. However
CIL could help to block the reserved slots if scheduled match is abandoned due to
rain, if both team captains agree upon to play certain date/time (on or before
following Wednesday), reschedule will not happen beyond Wednesday(unused
slots can be reused by the same teams outside of CIL tournament based on their

convenience). In an instance where the teams decided to play outside of the
proposed schedule please communicate the decision to CIL at the earliest.
f) If team A is available on the scheduled date/time whereas team B is not
available, then “Team A” will be considered as “Winners” (there won’t be any
change in NRR but points will be awarded). This scenario is not applicable for the
matches that are rescheduled based on captain’s mutual agreement. In the
scenario where both the captains mutually agreed to reschedule the matches
based on other team availability and if they couldn’t play on or before Wednesday
then points will be shared.
g) CIL reserves all rights to reschedule the matches. 12) Playoff’s/Finals will be played on reserve days if the match is abandoned due
to above point(s). CIL reserve rights to schedule the matches on reserve days
(based on ground availability).
13) One player can play for only one team in the tournament. If it comes to the
organizer’s notice that a team has a player who has played for another team in
the tournament, then both the team will be penalized. The penalty could range
from reducing 10 runs from their overall NRR. This is completely the committee’s
discretion.

Additional Rules 1) Both wide-balls and no-balls shall count as 1 extra run and an extra ball will
have to bowl in the over. Any runs (byes, leg-byes, etc) scored off wides or no-
balls will be credited as well.
2) A batsman can be, stumped off a wide ball and run-out off a wide or a
no ball.
3) If a bowler bowls a ball that makes two bounces before the crease on the
batting side i.e. the stumps on the batting side, then the ball may be called a
Dead ball by the umpire. Any kind of batsman dismissal, scoring rule is invalid
with Dead Ball. An extra ball should be bowled. No runs will be counted for
dead ball.
4) In a situation where all the stumps are knocked down and the batsmen are
looking to run an extra run (in an over throw situation), if there is a possibility
of a run-out again - the fielders have to fix at least one stump back in an
upright normal position and then knock the stumps down again or carry one
of the stumps together with the ball in hand. In case of spring stumps, the
stumps need to be on upright position or can be considered as Single stump.
In the event of ball hitting the side spring (not the actual stumps) and
deviating outside, umpires will need to take a call considering the ball
travel angle. If the ball would have hit the stumps if it is not the spring,
then it can be given out. If the ball is traveling outside of the stump,
then it is not out. Also, if the ball took a turn and hits the stump after
the impact with spring, then it should be considered as out only.

it’s more than 1 times by non-striker and appealed by the opposite team

conditions etc. As mentioned above, points will be shared equally by both the
teams in this instance (unless captains mutually agree to reschedule the match

Ground dimensions: Umpires have to follow/double confirm with
captains if the field is set up as per CIL specified dimensions before
the start of match.
The home team is responsible for setting up the pitch, field, and
boundaries. If the setup is not agreeable by the opposite team, then
umpire must make a call on the field setup following the CIL
guidelines. Umpires decision will be final in the event of field setup
dispute between teams. Captains and umpires must follow CIL
ground rules for setting up the field and boundaries.
It is umpires responsibility to check that CIL provided balls have been
used in both the innings. Always new innings should start with new
ball. If new balls have been used in the middle of an innings (ball lost,
broken) by the playing team(s), please notify CIL on the same.
In case of a potential or real dispute regarding a hit for 4/6 runs
and/or a catch at the boundary, fielders are advised to stay put and
help the umpire make the decision by holding their ground. Benefit
of doubt shall always go to the batsman.
There is no place for any act of violence on the field of play. CIL
reserves the right to decide the penalty against the team(s) and/or
player(s) and/or umpire(s).
The neutral umpires are empowered to oversee the behavior of the
teams during the game. In case of dissent shown by any player during
the game such as using abusive language, fighting on the field, too
many appeals to the umpires, vehemently disagreeing with the
umpires decision, the umpires reserve the right to call the captain of

the team involved in such an act and warn the particular player
involved. If the umpire gives 2 warnings to a player and if it continues
for the 3rd time, the player would be sent out of the game and he
cannot be replaced by a substitute nor can he bat if he hasn’t done
so already. In case of the team being a batting team and if the
batsman has already finished his batting and if such a scenario has
been reported by the umpire, the player will be banned from playing
the next game. If it is a batting team and if it is during a playoff game,
the team will be penalized 1 over of play.
It is umpires responsibility to call both the captains for toss (15
minutes before the start time) and ensure there are no delays to
start the game as per the schedule. IN case an umpire did not arrive
before or on time of the game start, his team will be penalized. CIL
advice both team to file a complaint on Umpires availability.
The umpire(s) may intervene at any time and it is the responsibility of
the captain(s) to take action when required. Umpires must intervene
for:
o Deliberate wasting of time by either team.
o Damaging the pitch by either team.
o Dangerous or unfair bowling by either team. Batsman can
report to both umpires if the bowling action looks like chucking
and umpire can review the action and make a final call if the
bowler can continue bowling or not.
o Tampering with the ball by either team.
o Any other action that the umpire(s) may consider to be unfair.

In case of time delays, when the ball is lost or a player is injured, it is
the duty of the neutral umpire to make note of the time. It is a good
practice for both captains to also make a note and remind the
neutral umpire. Either way, the neutral umpire’s decision, as in all
cases, will be final or no requests can be made to reconsider time
delay issues.
Umpires are solely responsible to ensure that no side intentionally or
unintentionally causes significant delay to the game in progress.
Umpires should also take the delays due to rain, bad light, lost ball,
and injury on the field into consideration before making a decision if
a bowling side needs to be penalized for slow over rate.
If umpires are late for an assigned game (before 15 minutes of start
time), then CIL reserve rights to impose penalty to the umpiring team
by losing 5/10 runs in their team NRR as violation. If an umpire
doesn’t show up for an assigned game then the penalty is to reduce
20 runs from umpiring team NRR. If an umpire doesn’t show up for 2
matches then the umpiring team will be losing 1 point as a penalty.
The team will also be considered for disqualification from the league
and cannot participate in any games for the rest of the season if this
continues to happen for more than two matches. The decision on
penalty will be made by CIL committee depending on the situation.
In the absence of an assigned umpire the teams have an option to
provide their own umpires, agreeable to the opposite captains, and
play the game. However CIL does not guarantee to provide umpires

send in neutral umpires will be penalized and also captains should
take a responsibility to provide the score sheets.
Once a batsman is declared out by the umpire, umpire can revoke
the decision before batsman gets out of the field or the fielding
captain can recall the batsman.
Umpires MUST sign a completed scorecard and ensure that both
captains also sign it.
The square-leg umpire shall be a playing member of the batting team
(unless there are 2 neutral umpires from the designated umpiring
team)
If the square-leg umpire from batting team appears to have made a
clear error in judgment, then the official CIL umpire has the authority
to reverse that decision. If the official umpire finds the square leg
umpire to be incompetent, he may request to have him replaced
Umpires can change position between each over (this is not
mandatory CIL rule) and this can be decided based on their ease.
If a game is played under protest, this should be mentioned on the
report. Any and all other issues (e.g., delays, misconduct, umpire
incompetence, smoking etc.) must also appear on the score sheet.
Please feel free to use back of the score sheet to add the comments
Team captains may lodge a complaint with CIL committee in case
they are not satisfied with the standard of umpiring (only if umpire is
officiating under the instructions of CIL).

No one is allowed on the field during play other than the batsmen,
the fielding side and the officials. In case of an injury or substitution
or bringing in drinks or equipment, the umpire must be notified. In
case of any arguments/conflicts/for any appeal only the team
captains are allowed to come inside the field and talk with umpires.
We advise all the Umpires to keep a hard copy/soft copy of CIL rules
while umpiring.
*** At any point, CIL committee has all rights to revise the rules and regulations
