 A game shall not start where either team has less than six players.

  The game will consist of 14 overs for each side.

  The captains shall agree the number of balls per over which may be from six to eight balls.
The batting bonus points will be adjusted accordingly.

  The away team bats first. This is to allow the home team to complete the score sheet '
on the night' and thus enable it to be sent in promptly.

 The home team sends in the Result Sheet.

  Each player apart from the wicket keeper shall bowl two overs.

 Note: Special attention should be paid to the bowling order, under no circumstances
will a bowler be allowed to bowl two consecutive overs.

  In the event of a team fielding less than eight players the opposing team captain shall
nominate players to bowl one over each until 14 overs are completed.
The player nominated may bowl only one additional over.

resume batting when the last wicket of the innings has fallen. In the case of more than
one retired batsman resuming an innings the original batting order shall be maintained.

  The points awarded shall be the same as the existing Evening League rules with the
exception that a bowling point shall be awarded when six or seven batsmen
have been dismissed.

 A batting bonus point shall be awarded for teams scoring at or more than 0.875
runs per ball.
