match start time if both teams present on the ground.

Immediately following the toss, the toss-winning captain MUST let the opposing captain and umpire know of his team’s decision right then and there

Umpire/scorers need to specify this in the score sheet and it will

help to track. At the time of the toss, if one of the teams is not ready

to play, which means at least 6 players are not present and

accounted for at the ground, then the toss will be awarded to the

team that is ready to play.

After the toss is over, if a team is still not ready to play 10 minutes

after start time, the defaulting team shall lose an over for first 10

minute delay and another over for next 5 minute delay. If a team is

opponent team, provided the other team is ready to play.

The neutral umpire/CIL will make the final decision. It will be

considered as forfeit.

player has to join the team before the completion of 3 overs

otherwise he cannot bat or bowl.



Knockout 2015




If both teams are not ready to play 30 minutes after start time,

then the match will be counted as a loss for both teams, and no

points will be awarded to both the teams.

In case of a delayed start, both the captains should agree to the

start time of the game and the number of overs to be bowled per

innings. Since it is a reserved field reservation time needs to be

considered.

The maximum overs per inning cannot be modified once the game has started.

At least one party (any playing team captain) should complain to

CIL to take necessary action. Umpiring Rules

Umpires for all the matches will be duly assigned by CIL.

Umpiring for first match will be done by CIL.

Winning team has to provide 2 umpires for officiating immediately

following game, failing which the defaulting team will be deemed to

have withdrawn from the tournament.

For Semi-finals and final, losing team on day 1 will need to do

umpiring.

Umpire’s decision is final and Umpire's decision will be always final

(in case captains cannot reach an agreement).

The neutral umpire(s) is/are the sole judge(s) of fair and unfair play.



Knockout 2015




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.

There is no place for any act of violence on the field of play. CIL

reserves the right to decide the penalty against the team(s) and/or

player(s) and/or umpire(s).

The neutral umpires are empowered to oversee the behavior of the

teams during the game. In case of dissent shown by any player during

the game such as using abusive language, fighting on the field, too

many appeals to the umpires, vehemently disagreeing with the

umpires decision, the umpires reserve the right to call the captain of

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 hasn’t 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.



Knockout 2015




It is umpires responsibility to call both the captains for toss (5

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 umpire’s 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,



Knockout 2015




and injury on the field into consideration before making a decision if

a bowling side needs to be penalized for slow over rate.

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.

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



Knockout 2015




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.
