BASIC RULES & SCORING SYSTEM:
Basic Outline:
✓ 7 players per team (1 team captain, 1 wicketkeeper)
✓ 12 overs per side, for U14s - 2 overs per bowler maximum (unless injury intervenes)
✓ 2pts for a win / 1pt for a tie / 0pts for a loss
✓ 35 mins to complete bowling innings
✓ Full batting and wicketkeeping equipment required, including helmets. Wear Beckenham CC kit.
✓ Batter retirements at U14s on 25 runs
*Retirees can return once all other batters are dismissed or retired
✓ Last player standing in batting innings (with a non-striker running)
✓ Batters can be caught off any wall/ceiling (barring the boundary wall behind bowler)
✓ “Dead ball” for a ball becoming stuck or trapped in any netting/obstacles
✓ Extras not re-bowled (except final over of the innings)
Scoring System:
1 run – for hitting any of the wicketkeepers’ wall, side walls or ceiling first.
2 runs – for completing a run between the wickets, without the ball hitting a wall/ceiling.
3 runs – for hitting any wall (bar the boundary wall) and completing a run between wickets.
4 runs – for hitting the boundary wall (behind bowler) directly with at least 1 bounce.
6 runs – for hitting the boundary wall (behind bowler) directly with no bounce.
1 extra run – for any overthrow that contacts a wall.
2 wides – for any wide delivery
➢ if the ball hits any wall or the batsman run after the wide is bowled, the subsequent runs will
be added to the 2 wides.
2 no-balls – for any no ball delivery
➢ if the ball hits any wall or the batsman run after the no-ball is bowled, the subsequent runs
will be added to the 2 no-balls, or to the batsman’s score if they contact the ball.
Byes/Leg Byes – as per the same scoring system above, but obviously without any bat
contact.
The coin toss for the match should be effected as early as possible on arrival before the match (captains and team managers).
There is a small viewing gallery for parents and supporters and two changing rooms (one on either side of the viewing gallery) remain available for teams to store their hardball kit, use for padding up and general changing purposes. Please take all items home with you and avoid leaving any lost property behind.
