If a result is not achieved on either day the result will be determined by a

Bowl Out. Such Bowl Out shall be undertaken in accordance with the rules

set out in match rule 13 of the Readers 20/20 Competition Playing

Conditions (which also provide for a result by coin toss if a bowl out is not

possible).

Rule 16 Promotion & Relegation

The side finishing 9th in the Premier Division and the side finishing 2nd in

the Championship will play a Play-Off under the 50 over match rules, using

balls approved for use in the Premier Division. The winner will play in the

In an uninterrupted match no bowler shall be permitted to bowl more than

the greater of 20 overs or one-third (rounded down) of the overs available

at the start of the innings. If the number of overs available is reduced as a

result of any interruptions in the match the maximum shall be one-third

(rounded down) of the reduced number of overs. A bowler may exceed the

limit solely as a result of such a recalculation of overs due following an

interruption in play.
