In is situation, e actual innings played as defense or offense will be e amount of innings accrued to bo teams, which may not be e same for bo teams. The score against e winning team will be e score as it is at e time of e forfeit. Example: Team A is home team and team B forfeits and cannot take e field in e bottom of e 5 inning. The score is 5 to 3 in favor of team A. Team A gets e win point and e score will be 8 to 3; team A receiving one run for innings 5, 6, and 7.

UCompletion of Games a. A regulation game is 7 innings, unless extended because of a tie score, or shortened (1) because e home team needs none of its half of e seven inning or only a fraction of it, or (2) because e umpire calls e game. b. If e score is tied after seven complete innings play shall continue until (1) e visiting team has scored more total runs an e home team at e end of a completed inning, or (2) e home team scores e winning run in an uncompleted inning. Extra innings are governed by rule 7 below. c. If ere is a 12 run difference after five completed innings in favor of e visiting team, or after four and a half innings or four and a fraction half- innings in favor of e home team when e visiting team has completed five half-innings, en e game shall be called. d. Games may be "called" for reasons of security. In such cases rule 4.10 (c) & (d) of e Official Baseball Rules shall be in effect. e.

When a game is called before it becomes an official game, it will be called "No Game" and will be rescheduled in its entirety by e Baseball Committee and such scheduling will be final. 7. UExtra Inning RuleU (based on International Competition Rules) If e game remains tied after e completion of seven innings, e following procedures will be implemented during extra innings Each team will begin e 8 inning (and any subsequent necessary extra innings) wi a player on first and second, no outs. To begin e 8 inning, representatives from each team will meet at home plate and will indicate (at e same time) to e home plate umpire where e team wishes 15

12 to begin e batting order. That is, e teams have e option of beginning e 8 inning anywhere in e existing batting order at was in effect when e 7 inning ended. Note at is is not a new lineup (just potentially a different order), and it may very well be e same lineup at ended e 7 inning. The rationale for doing so is to ensure at bo teams have an equal chance at having what ey consider to be eir best hitters and base runners in a position to score in e 8 inning. For example, if e team decides to have e #1 hitter in e lineup hit first, en e #8 hitter will be placed at 2B and e #9 hitter will be placed at 1B. Furermore, if e team decides to have e #3 hitter in e lineup hit first, en e #1 hitter would be at 2B and e #2 hitter would be at 1B. Once ose players/runners are determined for e 8 inning, e order of any subsequent innings will be determined by how e previous inning ended. That is, if e 8 inning ends wi e #6 hitter having e last plate appearance (PA), en e 9 inning begins e #7 hitter at bat, and e #5 hitter at 2B and e #6 hitter at first base. Wi e exception of beginning e inning wi runners on 1B and 2B wi no one out, all oer Official Rules of Baseball and Maccabiah Competition Rules will remain in effect during extra innings required to determine a winner. No player re-entry is permitted during extra innings. The traditional system of e visiting team hitting in e top of e inning and e home team hitting in e bottom of e inning (if needed) will remain in effect until a winner is determined. 8. Lineup Cards g. Teams must provide a courtesy lineup to e Technical Committee 30 minutes prior to eir scheduled game time. h. A team s lineup is not official until it is submitted to e Umpire in Chief at e pre-game meeting at home plate. i. Lineup cards shall consist of an original and ree duplicates. 1) Copy for e Umpire. 2) Copy for e oer team. 3) Copy for e official scorekeeper. 4) Team copy. 9. Officials The Baseball Committee will select e Technical Committee, which will select and schedule e umpires, scorekeepers and any oer necessary officials. A two-person officiating system will be used for all game. 10. General a. These regulations are but one part of e complete 20 Maccabiah Regulations and must be read along wi e instructions found in e "Basic Regulations and Disciplinary Procedures" provided by e Organizing Committee of e 20 Maccabiah. b. In e event of a discrepancy between e baseball regulations and ose appearing in e "Basic Regulations and Disciplinary Procedures," e baseball regulations will have priority and be binding. 16

The relative skill of e striker shall also be taken into consideration In e event of such unfair bowling, e umpire at e bowler s end shall adopt e following procedure: 47

44 1) In e first instance e umpire shall call and signal no ball, caution e bowler and inform e oer umpire, e captain of e fielding side and e batsmen of what has occurred. 2) If is caution is ineffective, he shall repeat e above procedure and indicate to e bowler at is is a final warning. 3) Bo e above caution and final warning shall continue to apply even ough e bowler may later change ends. 4) Should ere be any furer instance by e same bowler in at innings, e umpire shall call and signal no ball and when e ball is dead direct e captain to take e bowler off forwi. If necessary, e over shall be completed by anoer bowler, who shall neier have bowled e previous over, or part ereof, nor be allowed to bowl e next over, or part ereof. 5) The bowler us taken off shall not be able to bowl again in at innings. 6) The umpire will report e occurrence to e oer umpire, e batsmen at e wicket and as soon as possible to e captain of e batting side. 7) The umpires will en report e matter to e Match Referee who shall take such action as is considered appropriate against e captain and e bowler concerned.

Restrictions on e Placement of Fielders and Protective Equipment a. Protective Equipment 48

45 The following shall apply in addition to Law 41.1: The exchanging of protective equipment between members of e fielding side on e field shall be permitted provided at e umpires do not consider at it constitutes a waste of playing time. b. Restrictions on e Placement of Fieldsmen 1) At e instant of delivery, ere may not be more an 5 fieldsmen on e leg side. 2) In addition to e restriction contained in clause above, furer fielding restrictions shall apply to certain overs in each innings. The nature of such fielding restrictions and e overs during which ey shall apply (hereinafter referred to as e Powerplay Overs) are set out in e following paragraphs. 3) The following fielding restrictions shall apply: Two semi-circles shall be drawn on e field of play. The semi-circles shall have as eir centre e middle stump at eier end of e pitch. The radius of each of e semi-circles shall be 30 yards (27.43 meters). The semi-circles shall be linked by two parallel straight lines drawn on e field. (Refer attached Appendix 5). The fielding restriction areas should be marked by continuous painted white lines or dots at 5 yard (4.57 meters) intervals, each dot to be covered by a white plastic or rubber (but not metal) disc measuring 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter. During e first block of Powerplay Overs (as set out below), only two fieldsmen shall be permitted outside is fielding restriction area at e instant of delivery. During e second block of Powerplay Overs only ree fieldsmen shall be permitted outside is fielding restriction area at e instant of delivery. Two inner circles shall be drawn on e field of play. The circles shall have as eir centres e centre point of e popping crease at eier end of e pitch. The radius of each of e circles shall be 15 yards (13.72 metres). These fielding restriction areas should be marked by dots. The segment of e circles reserved for e slip positions shall not be demarcated (refer attached Appendix 5). During e first block of Powerplay Overs (in an uninterrupted innings, e first 10), ere must be a minimum of two stationary fieldsmen wiin e applicable fielding restriction area measured from e striker s end at e instant of delivery. When a fast bowler is bowling e two stationary fieldsmen may be permitted to stand deeper an 15 yards (13.72 metres) (in e undemarcated area) provided only at ey are standing in slip, leg slip or gully positions. 4) During e non Powerplay Overs, no more an four fieldsmen shall be permitted outside e fielding restriction area referred to in clause (a) above. 5) Subject to e provisions of below, e Powerplay Overs shall apply for 15 overs per innings to be taken as follows: i. The first block of Powerplay Overs (block of 10 overs for an uninterrupted match) shall be at e commencement of e innings. ii. The second block of Powerplay Overs (block of 5 overs for an uninterrupted match) shall be taken at e discretion of eier of e batsmen at e wicket. In an innings of scheduled duration of between 41 and 50 overs, it may not be completed later an e 40 over. (No equivalent restriction applies to innings of shorter scheduled duration.) iii. A batsman must nominate his team s Powerplay no later an e moment at which e umpire reaches e stumps at e bowler s end for e start of e next over. iv. Once a batsman has nominated a Powerplay, e decision cannot be reversed. 49

46 v. Should e batting side choose not to exercise eir discretion, eir Powerplay Overs will automatically commence at e latest available point in e innings (e.g. in a 50 over innings, is will begin at e start of e 36 over). c. In circumstances when e number of overs of e batting team is reduced, e number of Powerplay Overs shall be reduced in accordance wi e table below. For e sake of clarity, it should be noted at e table shall apply to bo e 1 st and 2 nd innings of e match. Innings duration First Second Powerplay Powerplay Total Powerplay d. Each block of Powerplay Overs must commence at e start of an over. e. If play is interrupted not during e Powerplay overs, en on resumption, it is necessary to determine how any remaining Powerplay overs should be allocated. The total number of Powerplay overs for e innings is derived from e table in Any Powerplay overs already taken prior to e interruption will be deemed to have been from e initial allocation followed by e batting side's allocation. The decision of e batting side of when to take any remaining Powerplay overs is made in e usual way. Illustrations of : A match starts as 50 overs, is interrupted after 12 overs and reduced to 43 overs. (The first 10 overs have been Powerplays (PP); e next two were not.) The new PP allocation is 9+4, so ere are 3 overs left for e batting side. These must start no later an e 38t h over in order to be completed by e 40 over. f. If play is interrupted during e first Powerplay and on resumption e overs required to be bowled in at Powerplay have already been exceeded, en e second Powerplay will be assumed to have been taken immediately and will continue until it is completed. Illustrations of A 50 over innings is interrupted after 9.3 overs, and on resumption has been reduced to 43 overs. Powerplay overs are nd Powerplay is in progress wi 0.3 out of e 4 overs completed, i.e., it covers overs 10 to 13. The fielding restrictions relating to e second powerplay take immediate effect on resumption. g. If following an interruption, on resumption e total number of Powerplay Overs for e innings has already been exceeded, en ere will be no furer Powerplay deliveries bowled in e innings. Note at is is e only circumstance under which e Powerplay status can be changed during an over. Illustrations of A 45 over innings is interrupted after 8.3 overs, and on resumption has been reduced to 28 overs. Powerplay overs are 5+3. All Powerplay overs have been completed. Non-Powerplay restrictions take effect immediately and do not need to wait until e end of e over. 50

47 h. If following an interruption while a Powerplay is not in progress, it is found on resumption at e recalculated number of Powerplay Overs remaining exceeds e number of overs to be bowled in e innings, en e Powerplays will commence at e start of e next over, wi fewer an e scheduled number of Powerplay Overs being bowled in e innings. Illustration of : A 41 over innings in which only e 1st Powerplay has been taken is interrupted after 35.1 overs and reduced to 39 overs. Powerplay overs are still 8+4. Powerplays automatically resume for e start of e next over, but only 11 of e 12 scheduled Powerplay overs can be bowled in e innings. i. At e commencement of e second block of Powerplay Overs, e umpire shall signal such commencement to e scorers by rotating his arm in a large circle. j. The umpire shall also indicate to e fielding captain before any signal is made at e batting side has chosen its Powerplay. k. A light or oer indicator shall be displayed on e scoreboard whenever e Powerplay Overs are being bowled, along wi e number of overs remaining in e current block of Powerplay Overs. l. The public address system shall be used to keep e spectators informed. m. In e event of an infringement of any of e above fielding restrictions, e square leg umpire shall call and signal No Ball 20. Misconduct of a Player, Team, Umpire or Official Discipline and Penalties A disciplinary committee (DC) set up by e CC has full power to deal wi misconduct by a team, official, umpire or player during e course of any game, or wiin 30 minutes of its start or completion. The accused party shall have e opportunity to defend an allegation and may be accompanied by his representative. The CC disciplinary committee will act in accordance wi e ICC disciplinary guidelines which will be distributed to each team upon request. The DC has e right to impose match suspensions, point deductions, monetary fines or any oer penalties it deems fit in e circumstances. Forfeiture of any game will be considered misconduct. 21. USpecial Regulations a. Fielding, Bowling and Batting Directives The overriding desire of e CC is to ensure e heal and safety of all its players and ese regulations have been adopted wi at desire expressly in mind. It must be noted at e regulations are aimed at an individual s age as opposed to e age group of e tournament being played. For example, a player who is aged 15 must abide by e restrictions laid down for at age group. This will apply even ough he may be playing in an U18 match. He cannot bowl/field using e U18 restrictions he is still bound by e U15 restrictions. Fielders: 1) No young player aged 15 or younger shall be allowed to field closer an 8 yards (7.3 metres) from e middle stump, except behind e wicket on e off side, until e batsman has played at e ball. 2) Players aged 13 and younger e distance is 11 yards (10 metres). 3) Minimum distances apply even if e player is wearing a helmet. 4) Should a young player in ese age groups come wiin e restricted distance e umpire must stop e game immediately and instruct e fielder to move back. 5) In addition any young player aged 16-18, who has not reached e age of 18, must wear a helmet and, for boys, an abdominal protector (box) when fielding wiin 6 yards (5.5 meters) of e bat, except behind e wicket on 51

48 e off side. Players should wear appropriate protective equipment whenever ey are fielding in a position where ey feel at risk. Wicket-keepers: 1) Wicket-keeper under e age of 18 (on e day of e match) must wear a helmet when standing up to e stumps. 2) This applies for all speeds of bowling. 3) Non-compliance wi is Directive will result in e umpires immediately stopping e game and instructing e wicket-keeper to put on a helmet, or stand back from e stumps. b. Bowling Restrictions For e purpose of ese Directives a fast bowler should be defined as a bowler to whom a wicket keeper in e same age group would, in normal circumstances, stand back to take e ball. This does not preclude e umpires from insisting at ese Directives are applied even ough e ability of e wicket-keeper means at he is capable of standing up to what ey consider to be a fast bowler. All coaches are urged to identify ose players wi e potential to bowl fast and to ensure ey follow e Directives in all cricket roughout e season. Over bowling is an important consideration, especially for young bowlers whose bodies are not fully developed. Recent studies have revealed at over bowling is e most common cause of back injuries. Evidence suggests at much of e damage occurs early in e playing career, and especially during grow spurts, ough e effects do not often show emselves until e late teens. The more talented and more physically mature youngsters are generally most at risk, as ey tend to play at more an one age group level. To ensure at young fast bowlers do not place undue stress on eir bodies, every attempt must be made to keep e amount of bowling wiin reasonable limits. The following Directives provide sensible playing levels. c. Directive for matches Age Max overs per spell Max overs per day Up to 13 4 overs per spell 8 overs per day 14, 15 5 overs per spell 10 overs per day 16, 17 6 overs per spell 10 overs per day 18, 19 7 overs per spell 10 overs per day Having completed a spell e bowler cannot bowl again, from eier end, until e equivalent number of overs to e leng of his spell has been bowled from e same end. If e bowler only completes part of his permitted spell en e above restriction still applies. For example, if he is allowed 7 overs but only bowls 4, he cannot bowl again until 4 overs have been bowled from e same end. He cannot resume his spell after 2 furer overs, from e same end, claiming at he is allowed anoer 3 to make up his 7. However, a bowler is allowed to change ends during a spell wiout having to take a rest. This can only be done provided at he bowls e next permissible over from e oer end. Any wait over and above is will mean at e current spell has ended and e rest period will be enforced. The second part of is spell will be restricted to e remainder of e overs allowed under e table above. If a bowler is resting and ere is an interruption in play, wheer scheduled or not, he will be allowed to count time off e field as part of his rest time. During is interruption e bowler may count every 7 minutes of e interruption as being equivalent to 1 over at each end. 1) Interruption of play during a spell of bowling If play is interrupted, for any reason, for less an 40 minutes, any spell in progress at e time of e interruption can be continued after e interruption up to e maximum number of overs per spell for e appropriate age group.
