Company Kwik Cricket Rules

These rules are provisional - if you have any comments please email Andrew Ingram - he is open to constructive suggestions

Each team will require 4 players - companies who can field less than 4 players are welcome to form joint teams of 4 players with other companies.

Each company may enter 2 teams if they so wish.

Equipment

• Plastic Bats / Wickets & plastic ball (or tennis ball) (we have 1 set –does anyone else have a plastic cricket set ?)
• Also require 4 smaller wickets to mark wide balls; a wicket either side of the stumps)
• Wickets placed 16m apart

Teams comprise 4 players.

2 batsmen in at the same time - face 12/16 balls (6/8 from each end).

2 other teams (8 players in total are fielding) – could extend to 3 teams if multiples of 4

The idea is that each team gets a chance to bowl at both other teams.

Batting

• Each Team starts with 20 runs.
• Runs are scored in the normal way - there are no boundaries
• Batsmen can be out stumped, caught, bowled run-out, hit own wicket BUT NOT LBW UNLESS DELIBERATE (i.e. standing in front of stumps, kicking the ball)
• 4 runs deducted for each 'out' and the other batsman must face the next ball.
• A no ball is declared if the ball bounces more than twice or is a full-toss above shoulder height.
• 2 extra runs are given for a wide or a no-ball but no extra ball is bowled.
• A no-ball can be hit and any runs in excess of 2 will be counted
• At the end of 2 overs the 2 batsmen retire and are replaced by their team-mates.

Fielding / Bowling

• Every fielding player must bowl one over (his 'partner' is wicket keeper)
• Other fielding players must rotate positions i.e. Those on the off-side should move to the on-side.
• Bowl from 1 end only (saves time) and batsmen swap at end of first over.
• No fielder within 10m of the batsmen (except the wicket keeper)
• Ball should be bowled 'properly' overarm, but will make concession that ball can be bowled underarm - BUT no 'chucking'

Seniors Tennis Rules

These rules are provisional - if you have any comments please email Chris Brydon.

• Boys enter as individuals.
• A league will be set up so boys will play a random selection from the competition.
• Matches will consist of up to 6 games. Matches will stop if one player wins 4 games, so possible scores are 4-0, 4-1, 4-2 or 3-3.
• Games will follow normal tennis rules.
• In the league, boys score 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw. "Game Difference" will work in the same way as goad differemce, e.g. if a boy wins a match 4-1, he will have a Game Difference of +3.
• The number of rounds in the league will be determined by how quickly the matches last.
• Boys must provide their own raquets.

Boys must be registered by Friday evening so Chris has a chance to set up the league.

Each match will need a referee, so companies taking part will need to provide a referee if at all possible. The number of available referees may well limit the number of matches that can be played simultaneously, and hence the number of rounds in the league.
