*** Revised Rules In A Nutshell ***
Each team plays four games this year as against three games last year. Rain out: The first rain out for any team as a wash out and award the 2 teams 2 points each. So if Team A is playing Team B and unless both teams don't finish their 20 overs, its a washout. But if team A or B already has one rain out, then that game will be continued from where it was left out. We will reschedule that and see if we can club it with another rain out. Five teams per each group, Top two teams will come out from each group for the playoff and they will play each other according to their seats. Regular MCC rule will be followed in order to get into the playoffs. there will be no bye week for 1st and 2nd seed this year. Each team has to do 2 mandatory umpiring.
