The League Competition
League fixtures take place between late April and early September each year. Each side plays every other team in that division home and away. Each fixture comprises a 50 over game with no fielding restrictions. Points are allotted from a total of 6.
- 6 = outright win
- 5 = incomplete win (the team batting second were not bowled out and did not achieve 75% of the fist innings score)
- 4 = incomplete win (the team batting second were not bowled out but did achieve 75% of the fist innings score)
- 3 (each) = tie
- 2 = losing draw (where 75% is achieved)
- 1 = losing draw (where 75% is not achieved)
- 0 = outright loss
There are no bonus points on offer. If during the course of a season sides are tied on points in the league competition the side with the most outright wins is the winner.

“Like many businessmen of genius he learned that free competition was wasteful, monopoly efficient. And so he simply set about achieving that efficient monopoly.”
