Sunday Cup Rules
HKCA Sunday League Rules will apply unless specified otherwise.
1. Entrants and Eligibility
a) The top eight teams from the Sunday League are eligible to enter the Sunday Cup
competition. The LCMC may invite other, non-league teams to enter.
b) Teams must submit their player squads in writing to the HKCA before the draw is made for
the first round. No transfers or additions will be allowed thereafter without the prior
approval of the MDC.
c) All players must have played at least two HKCA matches during the current season.
2. The Draw
The draw for each round of the Cup will be made by the LCMC Chairman (or his
representative) and a minimum of three HKCA members appointed by him. Teams will not beseeded before the draw and its date, time and venue published in advance.
3. Venues
All matches except the final will be played on the home ground of the first drawn team,
whenever possible.
4. Playing Conditions
The Sunday Cup will be held on a simple knockout basis. Playing conditions for the Cup will
be the same as for the League except that:
a) Matches abandoned as no result will be re-scheduled, if possible. If not, the result may be
decided by the toss of a coin.
b) Any expenses incurred during the game are to be shared equally between the teams.
5. Result
a) The team scoring the higher number of runs in the allocated number of overs shall win.
b) In the event of tied scores, the team losing fewer wickets will win.
c) If both teams have scored the same number of runs and have lost the same number of
wickets, the winner will be the team with the superior run rate (total runs scored divided by
the total number of balls bowled). If still equal, the superior run rate after 20 overs (and, if
necessary, ten overs) will decide the winner. |
