• The ball is “OUT” if it lands outside the court, touches a non-player off the court, touches or passes outside the antennae on either side of the net.
• Service for each new set (game) alternates from 1 team to the other

Normal Play

• When a team hits the ball out, the opposing team then gains the serve
• If the ball remains in play, the side receiving the ball regains their 3 new hits

NET PLAY

• A blocker may touch the ball beyond the net providing they do not interfere with the attackers shot (before and during the shot)

• Direct change over of innings and move quickly to next game. Move to the ground before the start time
• 10 step run-up maximum. Next batter in to stand at square leg
• Once a result is determined the game immediately ends. DO NOT finish the over. Move on to the next game!
• After each game send a runner to the convener with the score sheet
• Note that each game will impact on final standings. i.e. runs scored, wickets lost
• Each team to provide a scorer & umpire for each game
• Number players 1-8 & start each new game from next batters in and rotate players fairly
• A USED two piece leather ball is to be supplied by each team
• Games may need to be adjusted to remain on time for the day if we are running behind; all teams that qualify for the finals are to stay to compete in them; 
• No team is to have a red or maroon shirt for safety (too hard to pick the ball up without a sight screen) ERC and Corpus please note, They can play in white cricket shirt
