SHEPHERD NEAME TWENTY20 RULES 2008 

All clubs in the Shepherd Neame Sponsored Championship have been entered into this year’s competition. If you do not wish to participate, please contact your opposition and let your league administrator know.

Please make contact with your opposition as soon as possible and arrange a date for your match. The home team MUST provide 3 dates to the opposition for the match to take place. It is up to the away team to confirm a date at that point. ALL games must be played at the Home team’s main ground, or if the opposition agrees, a venue that is suitable to both teams.

PLAYING CONDITIONS
One umpire to be supplied by each side in the preliminary rounds. Shepherd Neame will supply umpires for the Finals series. 

DURATION
One innings per side, each innings limited to a maximum of 20 overs. 

SCHEDULED HOURS OF PLAY
First Innings: 5.30pm – 6.45pm
Second Innings: 6.50pm – 8.05pm
Games organised on weekends can be started at a time agreed by both sides. 

Interval
The interval shall be of 5 minutes duration.

RE-ARRANGEMENT OF OVERS
Teams have one hour 15 minutes to bowl 20 overs. In the first innings, the calculation of the number of overs to be bowled shall be based upon one over for every 3.75 minutes in the total time available for play up to the scheduled close of play. In the second innings of the match, overs shall be reduced at a rate of one over for every full 3.75 minutes lost, unless the first innings finished early/ second innings started early, in which case no overs are lost until the time that has been gained is subsequently lost. 

TIMED OUT
The incoming batsman MUST be in a position to take guard or for his partner to be ready to receive the next ball within one minute 30 seconds of the fall of the previous wicket. 

BALLS
Yellow/Orange balls will be supplied by Shepherd Neame. In the event of lost balls, clubs may use an alternative. 

THE RESULT
Each side must have faced (or had the opportunity to face) 5 (five) overs in order to constitute a match.
In the event of a tie at the completion of a match, the team that lost the fewer wickets will be adjudged the winner. If this gives no result, then the team with the highest score at the end of 15 completed overs shall be adjudges the winner. If this is still equal, then the side with the highest score at the end of 10 completed overs shall be adjudged the winner.
If the game is interrupted by weather, a bowl out should take place. 5 players should be nominated and will bowl 2 balls each at a full set of stumps. In the case of a tie at the completion of this round further players must be selected to bowl on a sudden death format.

Result must be emailed to the league organiser within 48 hours of the completion of the match. 

RESTRICTIONS ON THE PLACEMENT OF FIELDSMEN
Fielding restrictions apply for the first six overs of each innings of each match. 2 fielders must be in catching positions, with only 2 fielders outside the fielding circle during this period. After this 4 fielders must be inside the fielding circle at any time. 

NUMBER OF OVERS PER BOWLER
Each Bowler may bowl a maximum of 4 overs. In a delayed or interrupted match, no bowler may bowl more than 1/5 of the total overs allowed unless such a number has been exceeded before the interruption. 

FREE HIT AFTER FRONT FOOT NO BALL
This will apply, however no field changes may be made for the free hit. Even if batters crossed and a left hand/right hand combination means that there are too many fielders on the leg side. This is to keep the game moving. 

SHORT PITCHED BOWLING
One short pitched ball is allowed per over, but must pass below the batter head in normal stance. 

OVER RATE PENALTIES
The six–run penalty for each over bowled will apply. All sides are expected to be in position to bowl the first ball of the last if their 20 overs within one hour 15 minutes playing time. In reduced over matches, the fielding side has one over leeway in addition to any time that the umpires may allow for stoppages. 20 overs will be bowled and the penalty runs are added to the amassed total at the end. 

Umpires are instructed to apply strict interpretation of time wasting by the batsman (5 run penalties) specifically; batsmen are expected to be ready for the start of a new over as soon as the bowler is ready. 

WIDE BALL
Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation in regard to this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket.
A penalty of one run shall be scored and the ball shall be re bowled.
This penalty shall stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded.
