Glitch Rules 

Since this is the fair play group - The following glitches can be reversed/overturned: - 

1. Full/Semi invisible deliveries if a shot was not attempted. Batsman must leave ball. If shot is played, then wicket will be counted.
2. Batsman on strikers or non-strikers end run out as a result of fielder/bowler throwing the ball to either end when the batsman is dancing in and out of the crease.
3. Clearly hits bat but given Ibw even on decision review
4. Stumping can be reversed by batting side if their back foot is on/behind the crease and the batsman is dancing in and out of the crease. All other stumping's accepted e.g. gets dragged out while playing shot, advancing down the wicket or standing outside the crease
5. All other run out glitches as a result of game lag are accepted. Umpire decision final on all other dismisals. We encourage you to respect opponent and communicate with each other so that you have the best match possible. For example, if you thought you were not out and you dc but then it was confirmed that you are out, you have to leave the stumps clear for the bowler to claim the wicket the next ball (only one chance, if missed then that's it). Batsmen are not required to run to give wicket if the ball is missed.
6. Batsman clearly hits/edges elsewhere but
   suddenly goes to keeper (keeper glitch)
7. If umpire is in middle of reviewing lbw and game disconnects due to blue screen then batsman are not required to give wicket, however if the same happens when an edge is being reviewed then it will count and batsman must give wicket.
8. Player must give proof of blue screen via screenshot if opponent requests. Otherwise decsion may not go in your favour

Batting Rules

1. Strictly no shuffling past the off stump meaning more than two stumps must not be visible behind the batsman.
2. Shuffling to leg side during run up is acceptable but no standing extreme leg side and batting.

RULE BREAK PENALTY 

If any rule is broken by YOU during a match intentionally or unintentionally, no matter how major or minor the breach is; your opponent may be awarded a WIN. Last call will be of Admins on this issue. No further discussion once decision is made. RULES ARE MADE TO BE READ AND FOLLOWED and to ensure Fair Play to all. The allowances increase and decrease respectively according to the length of the format i.e. in T10 the allowances would half the current as T10 is half of T20. 

Group Talk

Friendly banter is welcome - no personal abuse. If there are any issues during a game we expect you to resolve the issue as adults. If you are unsure of any rules do let the admins know. There is no rule but is strongly encouraged we all play fair and avoid negative gameplay (bowling negative very wide lines). A couple in an over is fine but not throughout the entire innings. Overall - we hope you enjoy this group and the upcoming leagues. PLAY HARD BUT PLAY FAIR!
