Chawton
6-a-side tournament on Sunday 10th July 2011 at 12pm
Chawton
will host it's first 6-a-side cricket tournament on Sunday 10th July.
There will be a mix of teams from Chawton, friends of the club and other
touring teams. The day will start at 12pm with a group stage, followed by
a final later in the day. Details of the exact format and rules can be found
below.
On
the day there will be a BBQ and a Bar providing food, snacks and alcoholic
& non-alcoholic drinks. All proceeds from the day will go towards the
fundraising effort for replacing the thatched roof on the cricket pavilion.
We
hope you can come down, support the club and enjoy the cricket.
Format:
6 teams of 6 people. Each player pays £5
- 2 round robin groups of
3 teams, total of 6 group games and a final
- Each game is 10 overs,
but the games will be split into 2 sessions, with each session lasting for
30 minutes
- Each team will either
bat or bowl and then come off, being replaced with another game. This
format will keep everyone involved through the afternoon without too long
a wait between games.

- Last group game starts at 5.30pm
- Final between the winner
of Group A and winner of Group B and will start at about 6pm
Summary of rules:
- Every player bowls 1
over except the wicket keeper
- No balls are a free hit
- There will be a power
boundary behind the bowlers arm, where a 4 counts as 8 and a 6 counts as
12. This will be clearly marked and be about the width of a football goal
- Batsmen retire at 25,
but can return to crease if rest of the rest of the team is out
- Both innings of the same
game will be bowled from the same end to save time. (the alternate games
will be played from the other end)
- Every team needs to
bring a new ball
- Every team will be
expected to provide someone to umpire 2 of the 5 over sessions
