How we score

This refers to section three of the LMS Rules.

SECTION III:

A.) League Table points

There are four methods to score points on the league table:

• 5 points for a win
• 3 points for a tie/or rained out game ( + 1 clothing BP if team has picked up clothing bp in more than 80% of their games )
• 2 bonus points - ie 20% rule

B.) Bonus Points 20% Rule 

To receive a bonus point the winning team has to win by a margin of more than 20% and the losing team needs to lose by a margin of less than 20.1%. Therefore only one team can get the 2 bonus points on offer.

Example:

If Team A bats first and score 100. They then bowl Team B out for 79, Team A receives the bonus points.

If Team A bats first and score 100. Team B then scores 101, before 16 overs are COMPLETED in the innings , Team B receive the bonus points. So to clarify... the score needs to be chased down before the 80th official ball is bowled in innings. If the score is chased down in 79 balls then you get the bonus points. If the score is chased down on the last ball of the 16th over (ie 80th ball) you do not get the bonus points.

D.) Clothing Bonus Points

To receive a clothing bonus point, a team must have official Last Man Stands coloured shirts and matching shorts (or trousers, pants, longs etc). All 8 players must be in uniform. The refs decision is final.   

E.) Rained Out Matches

Will be rescheduled where possible. However, if they can not be rescheduled, each team will be awarded 50 runs after 20 overs with no wickets lost.

F.) Forfeits

Teams cancelling will have -2 points taken from them on the league table. The opposition will receive a full 7 points for the game, but no clothing bonus point. This will reflect as 50-0. Team arriving will be awarded 50 runs after 20 overs with out loss, batting 1st and Forfeit team will be awarded 0  after 1 over for 8 wickets. Clothing bonus points for the non forfeiting team (if they have recieved clothing bp in 80% of games in that season).
