Well they've sorta changed the rules for the One Day competition this year.
They've made it 12 players per side and each bowler can bowl 12 overs but I wouldn't care about all that, 11 players with 9/10 overs each is fine.
What they've done though is put a split innings in due to the problem of chasing under lights. So the team batting first will bat for 20 overs, where the innings is suspended while the other team bats 20 overs, and whoever has more runs at that stage gets one point. Then the first team bats another 25 overs so a total of 45 overs and then the other team will chase down that total so it resumes to a normal one day match so they'll have to the 45 over mark to chase down the total. The winner of the match gets 4 points so a maximum of 5 points is allowed. There hasn't been a match where either a side has got bowled out in 20 overs or one team hasn't had to bat their second innings (apart from a NR game) so I'm unsure what happens then, I guess the winning team would get all 5 points.
The Sheffield Shield and T20 Big Bash are simple and have a look at the cricinfo pages for point details.
----------
Here are the Sheffield Shield points system.
A win (irrespective of the first innings result) 6
A tie (irrespective of the first innings result) 3
A first innings lead in a drawn or lost match 2
A first innings tie in a drawn or lost match 1
A loss on the first innings 0
An outright loss after being behind on the first innings 0
Abandoned or drawn matches with no first innings result 0
