The third installment of the highly successfull South African Pro20 League has arrived. This time the participants has been split into two groups , each fighting it out for top honours :

1. General Match Conditions
General T20 rules , except the following differences :
- Bar reviews: 2 per Innings , (please edit the default 1)
- 2 Bouncers per over (default is 1) . These are the one`s called by the umpire as such.
- 4 fielders outside the circle after the Powerplay , (default is 5)
3.Never accept the Forfeit request sent automatically in game , we play our games in full. This is sent automatically by the game once 30 seconds time limit per over is up for setting your field.
4.Any Custom team composition are allowed , with the only guidelines being the following :
- Top Order Batsmen Star rating not higher than 4
- Middle Order Batsmen Star rating not higher than 3
- ** Please note the above two can be interchanged ie Top Order 3 , Middle Order 4
- Lower Order Batsmen Star Rating not higher than 2
- Fast Bowling Star Rating not higher than 4
- Spin Bowling Star Rating not higher than 3
- Overall Team Shield Rating not higher than 3
If any of the Star ratings are still over the limits set , then go back and repeat the exercise on the individuals that you know is still rated too high, until the shield rating falls inside the above limits.
5. Home team will create the match using the custom match option with the Custom Pro20 match type, and can choose any conditions including the venue they want, there is no requirement to select the random conditions but this option can be selected if the home team prefers. (Just remember to edit and save a Custom Pro20 Match type in the Academy beforehand)
6. If any glitches/bugs are encountered , we will have to live with it , as cricket was never intended as a perfect game. However if a match is very laggy and glitchy and both teams agree to restart then that is between the two team managers. The restart must take place before the game is complete.
7.Slow ball bouncers by medium pacers and spinners are not allowed. (These are the deliveries that allmost bounce twice on the way to the wickets, they do not apply to fast, fast medium bowlers) - If encountered continuously in a match , please notify me and I will decide on the way forward. Rule of thumb is balls that pitches further than 6 m mark from the batsman (Bear in mind they should be the slow loopy spinner , and the Slow Ball bouncer by the medium pacer) any other ball is fine at this length. Screenshots through Whatsapp of the balls bowled after the over normally is enough "evidence" for the two playing managers to resolve the issue in-game . I don`t want to intervene if it was only randomly happening , and handled by the two players .
8.Usual power play fielding restrictions apply for first 6 overs (Only 2 fielders outside the circle) , and then a maximum of 4 fielders outside the ring after the power play overs.(T20 Default is 5) Please remember to go and edit your default T20 settings , I normally save the custom Match Types with the Competitions Name to distinguish them from the default ones.
9.There is no restriction on how a field can be set other than this so no one should complain about unorthodox field settings. Please go and create your own custom fields in the academy , to also speed up the constant re-setting of your field placements after bowling changes.
10.Upon Match Completion , please take a Screenshot (with your Phone) of the Scorecard and Post it in the Whatsapp group , as I need it for the Logs and Bonus Point Calculations . I will ask that the winning manager do this , meaning if I don`t receive his winning scorecard , I will handle the match as a No-Result and share points. I have allowed for 1 week for the Managers to complete their 2 matches as per the fixture list. Meaning each Friday the new round will start. All scorecards needs to be received by me before the new round starts .
11. No advance matches with other managers will be allowed to be posted on the Whatsapp group , meaning I will only accept the "official" scheduled matches scorecards per week. This however does not mean that you cannot play your future scheduled match earlier , I will just not accept the scorecard until the appropriate time. So DON`T send me the Future Round`s scorecards earlier , I will just bin it. DO send them in at the right time. I will not keep it somewhere and wait for the right time to process it. I get confused easily , and this is the only way for me to try and keep up with the league. Please bear in mind we are playing alot of matches per week , so I don`t want to be flooded with random scorecards that doesnt match the weeks "official" matches.
12. If no connection between two players can be established after various try outs in the allotted week , points will be shared , hence a No-Result will be recorded. Both players need to notify me of this.
13. In the event that one of the parties cannot fulfill their fixture with the opposition , the available Party will be awarded 6 points. It is the responsibility of the Available manager , to inform and explain to me of the oppositions NO-Show in the alloted Week. I will use the 3 x strikes method , ie when an opponent has cancelled a match within the last 1,5 hours before scheduled start for 3 x times , this is enough justification to award the match to the available party. I will try and use discretion doing this , but my judgement will be final. If no notification is received in the allotted week , a No result will be awarded to both sides , resulting in shared points.
