One Day - League series
Each One Day league contains 8 teams so you will play 14 games in total, split home and away.
At the end of a season the team ranked 1st in the division is declared the division winner and is either promoted automatically, or goes into a promotion Playoff match.
To determine which teams auto-promote, all the first place teams are ranked by points scored and net run rate. This information can be found in 'Promotion Info' on your league page.
The top half of this list will go up automatically, and the bottom half will play off against a team from the next level up.
The teams ranked 2nd, 3rd and 4th will remain as they are in exactly the same division for the next season.
The teams ranked 5th and 6th will face a play off to stay up against a team from the lower level (unless in the bottom level).
League positions are decided by the number of points scored. if this is equal, net run rate is used as a decider.
The winners of playoff matches swap places with the team they played.
One Day league - match points
Each match, your team earns points to determine where they sit on the League ladder.
When determining ladder position - points are considered first, then Net Run Rate.
Match result points
- WIN - 4 points to winning side.
- TIE - 2 points to each side.
- LOSS - 0 points to losing side.
Net Run Rate
The concept of net run rate involves taking the opponents' final run rate away from the team's run rate. The only complication is that if a team is bowled out, it is not the balls faced which their score is divided by; instead the full quota of overs is used (e.g. 50 overs for a One Day International and 20 overs for a Twenty20 match). In the One Day league series in BT, runs and overs bowled are summed together throughout the season to compare teams in a league table, as the following formula shows:
Net Run Rate = (total runs scored / total balls faced) - (total runs conceded / total overs bowled)
Match attendance and Gate Receipts
100% of gate receipts are paid to the home team.
Attendance at the match reflects the fact that visiting fans come to games as well - details of both teams will be used in calculating game attendance although the weighting will be towards the home team.
There are no gate receipts for Play-off matches for either team.
