In 2010-11, it was a 40 over competition with 13 players allowed in each team (11 batting and 11 fielding). In 2009-10, it was a 40 over competition with 12 players allowed in each team (11 batting and 11 fielding).
Points system:
- Win: 4 points
- Tie, no result or abandoned: 2 points
- Loss: 0 points
- Bonus points: 1 point awarded if the winning team achieves a run rate of at least 1.25 times that of the opposition.
In the event of teams finishing on equal points, the top three places are determined in the following order of priority: (taken from Cricket South Africa Summer Handbook 2011-2012)
- The team with the most number of wins;
- If still equal, the team with the most number of wins over the other team(s) who are equal on points and have the same number of wins;
- If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points;
- If still equal, the team with the highest net run rate.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or structure:
“Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.”
—William Morris Hughes (1864–1952)
“There is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing to be learned, mastered, or born with. We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
