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.
