When two teams have equal points and equal net run rate, the team
which was the winner of the head-to head match played between them will
be placed in the higher position.
When more than two teams have equal points and equal net
run rate, the team which was the winner of most number of matches played
between those teams will be placed in the higher position.

For example, if 3 teams are tied in the following scenario:


Team A beat team B but lost to Team C Team B lost to A but did not
play Team C
Head-to-head: Team A is 1-1 (50% win) Team B is 0-1 (0% win) and
Team C is 1-0 (100% win) So Team C is ranked higher than Team A and
Team A higher than Team B.
If still equal, the team with the higher number of wickets taken will be
placed in the higher position.
In the highly unlikely event that teams cannot be separated by the
above criteria then random draw will be used to choose the winner
between the contending teams.

7) Neutral umpires for all the matches will be duly assigned by CIL from non-playing
teams. Please see page 17 for umpiring duties and rules.

8) All the matches will be scheduled only on Saturday and should be played only on
the allotted time & Date.

9) Ground(s) will be reserved by CIL and schedule will be published based on


grounds availability.

10) Requests for rescheduling matches will not be entertained.

that point share is not fair then they can very well reschedule the match and
play any time on or before the following Wednesday.

captains/teams agreed to play other than the proposed CIL schedule. However
CIL could help to block the reserved slots if scheduled match is abandoned due to

operation from the teams not qualifying for Playoffs.
17) The thumb rule is - players should have played 30% of overall league matches

eligibility criteria. If the game is called off in the middle, then the playing IX
provided at the time of toss will be considered. Also, note that the player should
have been physically present/played in the field.
18) CIL will coordinate the schedule and enter scores/net run rates and publish

- If both teams are not available to play on scheduled day during Playoffs or
Finals and if they mutually agree to play on a different day than the
scheduled day, then the match should be completed on or before the
following Wednesday. If for any reason, the teams are not able to complete
the match on or before Wednesday then the team with higher position in
Points table during League stage will be the Winners of that match.

*** The above rule does not apply if the match cannot be played on scheduled day
because of rain. CIL will reschedule the matches on reserve days (based on ground
availability). Below listed dates will act as reserve days for the Playoffs and Finals:

Qualifier 1/Eliminator 07/22


Qualifier 2 07/29 (Provided Qualifier 1/Eliminator matches are completed on 07/15).
Else, 8/5 will act as a reserve day;
Finals :
8/5 (Provided Qualifier 2 is completed on 07/22).
8/12 (Provided Qualifier 2 is postponed and completed 07/29)
8/19 (Provided Qualifier 2 is postponed to 8/5 and pushed Finals schedule to 8/12);

In short, following Saturday will be the reserve day for each playoff game. Teams
can plan to play on Sunday or any weekday evenings before the reserve day, if both
teams agree mutually when the scheduled match cannot happen due to weather.
CIL will not reserve field for those matches. If for any reason, playoff matches are
not completed in reserve days, then the team with higher position in Points table
during League Stage will be considered as Winners and advance to next stage. For
Finals, cups will be shared between finalists in the event of no match.

Ground dimensions: Umpires have to follow/double confirm with


captains if the field is set up as per CIL specified dimensions before
the start of match.
The home team is responsible for setting up the pitch, field, and
boundaries. If the setup is not agreeable by the opposite team, then
umpire must make a call on the field setup following the CIL
guidelines. Umpires decision will be final in the event of field setup
dispute between teams. Captains and umpires must follow CIL
ground rules for setting up the field and boundaries.
It is umpires responsibility to check that CIL provided balls have been
used in both the innings. Always new innings should start with new
ball. If new balls have been used in the middle of an innings (ball lost,
broken) by the playing team(s), please notify CIL on the same.
In case of a potential or real dispute regarding a hit for 4/6 runs
and/or a catch at the boundary, fielders are advised to stay put and
help the umpire make the decision by holding their ground. Benefit
of doubt shall always go to the batsman.

the team involved in such an act and warn the particular player
involved. If the umpire gives 2 warnings to a player and if it continues
for the 3rd time, the player would be sent out of the game and he
cannot be replaced by a substitute nor can he bat if he hasnt done
so already. In case of the team being a batting team and if the
batsman has already finished his batting and if such a scenario has
been reported by the umpire, the player will be banned from playing
the next game. If it is a batting team and if it is during a playoff game,
the team will be penalized 1 over of play.
It is umpires responsibility to call both the captains for toss (15
minutes before the start time) and ensure there are no delays to
start the game as per the schedule. IN case an umpire did not arrive
before or on time of the game start, his team will be penalized. CIL
advice both team to file a complaint on Umpires availability.
The umpire(s) may intervene at any time and it is the responsibility of
the captain(s) to take action when required. Umpires must intervene
for:
o Deliberate wasting of time by either team.
o Damaging the pitch by either team.
o Dangerous or unfair bowling by either team. Batsman can
report to both umpires if the bowling action looks like chucking
and umpire can review the action and make a final call if the
bowler can continue bowling or not.
o Tampering with the ball by either team.
o Any other action that the umpire(s) may consider to be unfair.

In case of time delays, when the ball is lost or a player is injured, it is


the duty of the neutral umpire to make note of the time. It is a good
practice for both captains to also make a note and remind the
neutral umpire. Either way, the neutral umpires decision, as in all
cases, will be final or no requests can be made to reconsider time
delay issues.
Umpires are solely responsible to ensure that no side intentionally or
unintentionally causes significant delay to the game in progress.
Umpires should also take the delays due to rain, bad light, lost ball,
and injury on the field into consideration before making a decision if
a bowling side needs to be penalized for slow over rate.
If umpires are late for an assigned game (before 15 minutes of start
time), then CIL reserve rights to impose penalty to the umpiring team
by losing 5/10 runs in their team NRR as violation. If an umpire
doesnt show up for an assigned game then the penalty is to reduce
20 runs from umpiring team NRR. If an umpire doesnt show up for 2
matches then the umpiring team will be losing 1 point as a penalty.
The team will also be considered for disqualification from the league
and cannot participate in any games for the rest of the season if this
continues to happen for more than two matches. The decision on
penalty will be made by CIL committee depending on the situation.
In the absence of an assigned umpire the teams have an option to
provide their own umpires, agreeable to the opposite captains, and
play the game. However CIL does not guarantee to provide umpires
in case of rescheduled matches. In any case the team assigned to

send in neutral umpires will be penalized and also captains should


take a responsibility to provide the score sheets.
Once a batsman is declared out by the umpire, umpire can revoke
the decision before batsman gets out of the field or the fielding
captain can recall the batsman.
Umpires MUST sign a completed scorecard and ensure that both
captains also sign it.
The square-leg umpire shall be a playing member of the batting team
(unless there are 2 neutral umpires from the designated umpiring
team)
If the square-leg umpire from batting team appears to have made a
clear error in judgment, then the official CIL umpire has the authority
to reverse that decision. If the official umpire finds the square leg
umpire to be incompetent, he may request to have him replaced
Umpires can change position between each over (this is not
mandatory CIL rule) and this can be decided based on their ease.
If a game is played under protest, this should be mentioned on the
report. Any and all other issues (e.g., delays, misconduct, umpire
incompetence, smoking etc.) must also appear on the score sheet.
Please feel free to use back of the score sheet to add the comments
Team captains may lodge a complaint with CIL committee in case
they are not satisfied with the standard of umpiring (only if umpire is
officiating under the instructions of CIL).

No one is allowed on the field during play other than the batsmen,
the fielding side and the officials. In case of an injury or substitution
or bringing in drinks or equipment, the umpire must be notified. In
case of any arguments/conflicts/for any appeal only the team
captains are allowed to come inside the field and talk with umpires.
We advise all the Umpires to keep a hard copy/soft copy of CIL rules
while umpiring.

*** At any point, CIL committee has all rights to revise the rules and
regulations
