MILO T20 Blast School Cup Registration 2012
MILO T20 BLAST SCHOOL CUP REGISTRATION 2012
WELCOME MESSAGE Cricket Victoria is excited to once again be partnering School Sport Victoria (SSV) in the delivery of the Victorian Primary Schools Cricket Program. Both organisations are committed to providing high-quality cricket experiences for primary level boys and girls. As a part of our commitment to this, Cricket Victoria offers every Victorian primary school the opportunity to engage in this program at no cost to participants or schools. This exciting modified cricket format, called MILO T20 Blast School Cup (formerly Kanga 8s), is designed to maximise participation and to cater for all ability levels. Cricket Victoria has been conducting this state-wide cricket competition since 1998 with over 700 schools providing 1928 boys teams and 1325 girls teams in the 2011 competition. With cricket participation numbers growing and with the worldwide interest and excitement around T20 cricket, I encourage all schools to register. I wish every team that enters the MILO T20 Blast School Cup state-wide competition the best of luck and look forward to watching the State Final at the mighty MCG in December. Whilst SSV is the primary deliverer of school sport for Victorian schools, Cricket Victoria provides a comprehensive school-based competition that includes modified rules to make the game of cricket more accessible to more schools and students. It is hoped that each district will consider hosting its own carnival so that a winner can be fed through to regional and state finals. Cricket Victoria makes it possible for every Victorian primary school to enter a MILO T20 Blast School Cup carnival at no cost to schools or participants. Cricket Victoria s Regional Cricket Managers are more than happy to conduct clinics within schools that are entering for the first time. This competition will provide SSV with the state-wide Primary School Cricket Champions.

MILO T20 BLAST SCHOOL CUP The state-wide MILO T20 Blast School Cup is a modified one-day cricket competition for boys and girls in Years 3-6. Schools attend their local regional carnival (see pages 8, 9 and 10 for venues and dates) and compete in a roundrobin competition against other local schools. MILO T20 Blast School Cup maximises participation for all participants in a quick 16 over game (8 overs per team) that requires only 45 50 minutes to complete. A regional carnival generally runs along the following timeline: 9:30am: Schools arrive at local venue 9:45am: School briefing & rules refresher 10:00am: Round 1 11:00am: Round 2 12:00pm: Round 3 1:00pm: Finals 2:00pm: Presentations 2:15pm: Schools depart (Please note: some carnivals may vary slightly from this schedule) HOW TO REGISTER: All registrations will again be done online. To register please go to the schools section on the Cricket Victoria website (www.cricketvictoria.com.au) Cricket Victoria will send out confirmation to your school with all relevant information close to the date of the carnival. Carnivals can become full so the earlier you register the better! Once a carnival reaches capacity it will be removed from the on-line registration form. If you have any queries regarding the information contained in this booklet, please phone Ryan Batchelder at Cricket Victoria on 9653 1155 or email schools@cricketvictoria.com.au. The winning girls and boys teams from all of the carnivals will participate in a Regional Final Day (at venues outlined), and the winners of these finals will have the opportunity to participate at the State Final to be held at the MCG in December. Cricket Victoria and School Sport Victoria may offer a travel subsidy to those country teams that win through to the State Final, as well as awarding the eventual State Cricket Champion schools with a laptop computer. 02 MILO T20 BLAST SCHOOL CUP REGISTRATION 2012
T20 BLAST SCHOOL CUP -RULE SUMMARY CARNIVAL HOUSEKEEPING There will be one ball given to each team to use for the duration of the carnival. A nominated ball monitor is responsible for returning the ball to Cricket Victoria at the end of the day and will receive a prize for their team. Scoresheets are to be returned to the recording area immediately after each game. Please return all equipment to the recording area after the finals are completed. Students are asked to pick up all rubbish throughout the day. Any playing conditions specific to a particular carnival/venue will be addressed by the Regional Cricket Manager at the initial briefing (for example, ground dimensions). RULES A game is played between two teams with a minimum of eight players. Substitutes may be used in any combination providing that no more than 8 individuals bat and 8 individuals bowl. Only 8 fielders are permitted on the field at any one time. Thus, 8 players bowl and wicket keep for one over each. The toss of a coin will determine which team bats first. BATTING Plastic or wooden bats may be used. Batters do not need to wear pads or gloves. Batting pairs bat for two overs. Players remain batting irrespective of the number of times they are given out, until they have batted for two complete overs (12 balls). Batters swap ends at the end of each over and when dismissed just swap ends (except in the event of a run out). If a batter is dismissed the bowling team receives five bonus runs (per wicket). Please note that runs are not deducted they are added to the bowling team s final total. Thus, the only penalty for being given out is that the batters swap ends. Players can be given out in the following ways; bowled, caught, run out, stumped and hit wicket. There is no Leg Before Wicket (LBW) in T20 Blast School Cup unless no attempt is made to hit the ball. This deters batters from simply blocking their stumps with their bodies to avoid going out. The next batting pair must be ready to bat immediately following the previous pair s innings. DOUBLE ZONE Only runs hit into the Double Zone are counted as double runs. Over throws do not count. No more than three players can field in the Double Zone at the time of delivery. 03
T20 BLAST SCHOOL CUP -RULE SUMMARY BOWLING Eight players must bowl and wicket-keep for one over each (there is no designated wicketkeeper). One partner bowls whilst the other wicket-keeps, then at the end of the over (six balls), the partners swap roles. Bowlers are limited to a 10 metre run up this can be marked by a white line. All overs are bowled from the same end. The batters swap ends at the end of each over. Umpires are asked to encourage bowling with a straight arm in the spirit of the rules. There is a maximum of six deliveries in each over. No Balls are not re-bowled. Any over arm delivery that bounces more than once or rolls along the ground shall be deemed a fair delivery (unless the bowler is deliberately rolling it along the ground to gain an obvious advantage. The umpire may decide that deliveries should be re-bowled if they are considered unfair. NO BALLS There are four types of deliveries that classify as a no ball. A no ball is one that: (i) bounces over the batter s head at batting stance. (ii) reaches the batter above waist height (above the bottom rib) on the full. (iii) goes outside the no-ball markers at the batter s end (even if it beats the keeper). (iv) sees the bowler overstep the crease at delivery. If a no-ball is bowled (whether the batter hits it or not), the batting team receives two runs and a free hit off the cone. The only way a batter can be out off a free hit is run out. If a batter scores off a no ball (free hit) the batter on strike still receives a free hit (but only one swing). In the case of the ball passing outside the markers at the batter s end (no-ball) and beating the keeper the batters receive two runs + whatever they run. The ball is then returned to the tee for a free hit & whatever is scored from that hit is added to what has already been scored eg two (no ball) + what is run + score from free hit. Fielders cannot move until after the ball is struck (or swing completed). No LBW unless the batter doesn t offer a shot. If the ball is hit into the Double Score Zone then all runs are doubled eg 1 = 2, 3 = 6 etc No fielders are permitted within 10m of the batter (except for wicketkeeper & slips). Batters may not run if the ball is hit behind the batter s stumps off the tee but can be hit to the off or on sides. The bowled ball can be hit anywhere. 04 MILO T20 BLAST SCHOOL CUP REGISTRATION 2012 03
T20 BLAST SCHOOL CUP -RULE SUMMARY FREE HIT RULE If a no ball is bowled then the batter receives a free hit off the batting tee. Right-hand batters must hit off the right batting tee and left hand batters must hit off the left batting tee. A batter only gets one swing at a free hit. The ball can be hit on either the on or off side but cannot be hit behind the wicket. An airy counts as a swing/hit. In the case of a free hit, the fielding team must stay in the positions they were in at the moment the previous delivery was made until the ball is hit off the tee. The batter can only be out by run out from a free hit and so cannot go out bowled, hit wicket or stumped. For safety reasons, the batter is the only player permitted to place the ball on the free hit tee. SCORING The T20 Blast School Cup scoresheet can be found in the middle of this handbook. A no ball is scored as 2 runs to the batting side plus whatever runs are scored off the free hit. Any run scored off the bat into the Double Zone will be doubled. The Double Zone is any area behind the stumps at the bowler s end (see diagram). A ball hit along the ground to the boundary in this zone, is credited with 8 runs. If the ball is hit over the boundary on the full in the Double Zone, then 12 runs are scored. (Note: 2 runs for a no ball does not become 4 if it is hit into the double zone). Every wicket taken by the bowling side results in them receiving a bonus five runs to their total score. Only runs hit into the double zone are counted as double runs. Over throws do not count. If teams finish equal on games won then positions will be decided on number of runs scored (or on average runs scored where a bye exists). The team with the bye scores points as for a win and receives their average runs for all the matches. Finals will generally be 1 Vs 2, 3 Vs 4, 5 Vs 6 etc (variation with pools). 05

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. How many teams can my school enter? Every school has the option of entering up to three boys and three girls teams per carnival. Q. Can I enter a mixed (boys & girls) teams? A. Yes, a number of schools enter mixed teams when they do not have enough students for a separate boys and girls team. Mixed teams will compete in the boys division. Q. What equipment does our school need to provide? A. Schools only need to provide bats (plastic or wooden) for their teams and where possible one set of plastic stumps. All equipment should be clearly marked. Cricket Victoria will provide all other equipment. Q. Can students from Year 4 play in the 5/6 competition? A. Schools with small numbers of students that want to enter can use players from Year 4 to fill up a team if there are insufficient Year 5 and 6 students. Please notify CV staff prior to the commencement of the carnival if you have Year 4 students. Q. Who scores and umpires at the regional carnivals? A. Each school is required to umpire and score their games at regional carnivals. Teachers can organise a parent or an older student or brother/sister to do this role on the day. Some schools have established links with local secondary schools or cricket clubs to assist the running of their T20 Blast teams. Q. Can students use their own wooden bats? A. Yes, students can use their own wooden bats or use bats (plastic or wooden) supplied by the school. All equipment should be clearly named. Q. Can more than eight (8) players play per team? A. The maximum number of players allowed on the field at any one time is eight (8); however a team may choose to have a player who bats and does not bowl and another player who bowls but does not bat, therefore ten (10) players per team. Alternatively players may be rostered off for one of the round robin games. However it is recommended there are no more than ten (10) players per team. 11
