2. Where matches are broadcast the camera specifications set out in Appendix 6 shall be mandatory as a minimum requirement.
3. Where matches are not broadcast the camera specifications set out in Appendix 7 shall be mandatory as a minimum requirement.
4. CLT20 will ensure a separate room is provided for the third umpire and that he has access to a television monitor and direct sound link with the television control unit director to facilitate as many replays as is necessary to assist him in making a decision.

In the circumstances detailed in Clauses 3.2.2, 3.2.3, 3.2.4, 3.2.5 and 3.2.6 below, the on-field umpire has the discretion whether or not to refer the appeal to the third umpire for a decision or, in the case of 3.2.3.1, to consult with the third umpire before making the decision and should take a common sense approach. Players may not appeal to the umpire to use the replay system - breach of this provision would constitute dissent and the player could be liable for discipline under the CLT20 Code of Conduct.

1. The on-field umpire shall be entitled to refer an appeal for a run-out, stumping or hit-wicket to the third umpire.
2. An on-field umpire wishing to refer a decision to the third umpire shall signal to the third umpire by making the shape of a TV screen with his hands.
3. If the third umpire decides the batsman is out a red light is displayed; a green light means not-out. Should the third umpire be temporarily unable to respond, a white light (where available) will remain illuminated throughout the period of interruption to signify to the on-field umpires that the TV replay system is temporarily unavailable, in which case the decision will be taken by the on-field umpire. (Where available and as an alternative to the red/green light system, the big replay screen may be used for the purpose of conveying the third umpires decision).
4. When reviewing the TV replay(s), if the third umpire finds the batsman has been bowled rather than hit wicket or stumped, he shall indicate that the batsman was dismissed.

3.2.3   Caught Decisions

          The on-field umpire shall be entitled to refer an appeal for a caught decision to the third umpire in the following circumstances:

3.2.3.1 Clean catches

1. Should the bowlers end umpire be unable to decide whether or not a catch was taken cleanly, he shall first consult with the square leg umpire.

Following such consultation, the final decision will be made and given by the bowlers end umpire, who will take into account the on-field umpires initial views and any other advice received from the 3rd umpire.
3. The third umpire has to determine whether the batsman has been caught. However, when reviewing the television replay(s), if it is clear to the third umpire that the batsman did not hit the ball, he shall indicate that the batsman is not out.

3.2.3.2 Bump Ball

1. Should the bowlers end umpire be unable to decide whether a catch was taken from a bump ball or not, he shall first consult with the square leg umpire.
2. Should both on-field umpires be unable to make a decision, the bowlers end umpire shall be entitled to refer the decision to the third umpire to review a TV replay(s) of the batsmans stroke as in Clause 3.2.2 (b).

4. The third umpire shall communicate his decision by the system as in Clause 3.2.2 (c).

3.2.4 Boundary Decisions

1. The on-field umpire shall be entitled to refer to the third umpire for a decision about whether the fieldsman had any part of his person in contact with the ball when he touched the boundary or when he had any part of his person grounded beyond the boundary, or whether a four or six had been scored. A decision is to be made immediately and cannot be changed thereafter.
2. An on-field umpire wishing the assistance of the third umpire in these circumstances shall communicate with the third umpire by use of a two-way radio and the third umpire will convey his decision to the on-field umpire by this method.
3. The third umpire may initiate contact with the on-field umpire by two-way radio if TV coverage shows a boundary line infringement or incident as envisaged under this clause.

3.2.5 Batsmen Running to the Same End

1. In the event of both batsmen running to the same end and the umpires are uncertain over which batsmen made his ground first, the on-field umpire may refer the decision to the third umpire.

3. The third umpire may initiate contact with the on-field umpire by two-way radio if TV coverage shows the ball has been in contact with any part of any Camera or Camera Wiring on or above the playing arena as envisaged under this clause.

The host country shall inform the       visiting country at the start of the tour that this practice is to be adopted.

3.5 Law 3.8 - Fitness of Ground, Weather and Light and Law 3.9 - Suspension of play for adverse conditions of ground, weather or light

          Laws 3.8 and 3.9 shall be replaced by:

3.5.1 The umpires shall be the final judges of the fitness of the ground, weather and light for play. See 3.5.2 below and Law 7.2 (Fitness of the pitch for          play).

3.5.2 Suspension of play for adverse conditions of ground, weather or light

1. All references to ground include the pitch. See Law 7.1 (Area of pitch).
2. If at any time the umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place, then they shall immediately suspend play, or not allow play to commence or to restart. The decision as to whether conditions are so bad as to warrant such action is one for the umpires alone to make.

         The fact that the grass and the ball are wet and slippery does not warrant the ground conditions being regarded as unreasonable or dangerous. If the umpires consider the ground is so wet or slippery as to deprive the bowler of a reasonable foothold, the fielders of the power of free movement, or the batsmen of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets, then these conditions shall be regarded as so bad that it would be unreasonable for play to take place.

         The Umpires shall disregard any shadow on the pitch from the stadium or from any permanent object on the ground.

3. When there is a suspension of play it is the responsibility of the umpires to monitor the conditions. They shall make inspections as often as appropriate. Immediately the umpires together agree that conditions are suitable for play they shall call upon the players to resume the game.
4. If play is in progress up to the start of an agreed interval then it will resume after the interval unless the umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place.

3.6 Law 3.10 - Exceptional Circumstances.

          The following shall apply in addition to Law 3.10:

3.6.1   Play may be suspended due to safety and security concerns by the umpires on the advice of the Match Referee, the head of the relevant ground            authority, the head of ground security or the police.

3.6.2   Where play is suspended under Clause 3.6.1 above the decision to abandon or resume play shall be the responsibility of the Match Referee who shall act            only after consultation with the head of ground security and the police.

3.7 Light Meters

3.7.1    It is the responsibility of CLT20 to supply light meters to the match officials to be used in accordance with these playing conditions.

3.7.2    All light meters shall be uniformly calibrated.

 3.7.4    Light meter readings may accordingly be used by the umpires:

1.   To determine whether there has been at any stage a deterioration or improvement in the light.
2.   As benchmarks for the remainder of a stoppage, match and/or series/tournament.

3.8 Use of lights

             In the event of power failure or lights malfunction, the provisions relating to the delay or interruption of play due to bad weather or light shall apply.

 3.10.3   In addition, advertising on perimeter boards placed in front of the sightscreens is permitted save that the predominant colour of such advertising shall be              of a contrasting colour to that of the ball.

3.11 Use of Ropes to reduce effects of Dew

             In the event of dew, the Umpires may instruct the Head Groundsman to use ropes, dragged across the outfield, to reduce the effects of dew. This may              be done before the start of play (after the Toss) and / or during the interval.

5.3.2      In the event of the ball becoming wet and soggy as a result of play continuing in inclement weather or it being affected by dew, or a white ball               becoming significantly discoloured and in the opinion of the umpires being unfit for play, the ball may be replaced for a ball that has similar amount of               wear, even though it has not gone out of shape.

The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its allocated overs. To constitute a match, a minimum of 5 overs have to be bowled to the side batting second, subject to a result not being achieved earlier.
3. As soon as the total minutes of playing time remaining is less than the completed overs faced by Team 1 multiplied by 4, then the first innings is terminated and the provisions of 12.4.2 b) below take effect.
4. A fixed time will be specified for the commencement of the interval, and also the close of play for the match, by applying a rate of 15 overs per hour. When calculating the length of playing

      time available for the match, or the length of either innings, the timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours, interruptions in play, and the interval will be taken into consideration. This calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than the original time for cessation of play on the final scheduled day for play. If required the original time shall be extended to allow for one extra over for each team.

5. If the team fielding first fails to bowl the revised number of overs by the specified time, play shall continue until the required number of overs has been bowled or the innings is completed.
6. Penalties shall apply for slow over rates (refer to CLT20 Code of Conduct).
2. Delay or Interruption to the innings of the Team Batting Second (see Appendix 3)
1. When playing time has been lost and, as a result, it is not possible for the team batting second to have the opportunity of receiving its allocated or revised allocation of overs in the playing time available, the number of overs shall be reduced at a rate of 15 overs per hour in respect of the lost playing time. Should the calculations result in a fraction of an over the fraction shall be ignored.
2. In addition, should the innings of the team batting first have been completed prior to the scheduled, or re-scheduled time for the commencement of the interval, then any calculation relating to the revision of overs shall not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to that by which the second innings started early has elapsed.
3. To constitute a match, a minimum of 5 overs have to be bowled to the team batting second subject to a result not being achieved earlier.
4. The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its allocated overs.

                Where the total overs is not divisible by 5, one additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler necessary to make up the balance.

                In the event of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will be allowed by another bowler. Such part of an                 over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowlers limit is concerned.

                The scoreboard shall show the total number of overs bowled and the number of overs bowled by each bowler.

13 Law 13 - The Follow-on

                Law 13 shall not apply.

14 Law 14 - Declaration and Forfeiture

15 Law 15 - Intervals

                Law 15 shall apply subject to the following:

15.1 Law 15.5 - Changing agreed times for intervals - Interval between Innings

                If the innings of the team batting first is completed prior to the scheduled time for the interval, the interval shall take place immediately and the innings                 of the team batting second will commence correspondingly earlier. In circumstances where the side bowling first has not completed the allotted                 number of overs by the scheduled or re-scheduled cessation time for the first innings, the umpires shall reduce the length of the interval by the                 amount of time that the first innings over-ran. The minimum time for the interval will be 10 minutes.

                However, following a lengthy delay or interruption prior to the completion of the innings of the team batting first, the Match Referee may, at his                 discretion, reduce the interval between innings from 20 minutes to not less than 10 minutes.

               Such discretion should only be exercised after determining the adjusted overs per side based on a 20 minute interval.  If having exercised this discretion,                 the rescheduled finishing time for the match is earlier than the latest possible finishing time, then these minutes should be deducted from the length of                any interruption during the second innings before determining the overs remaining.

15.2 Law 15.9 - Intervals for drinks

                No drinks intervals shall be permitted.

               An individual player may be given a drink either on the boundary edge or at the fall of a wicket, on the field, provided that no playing time is wasted.

19.1 Law 19.1 - The boundaries of the field of play

                The playing area shall be a minimum of 150 yards (137.16 metres) from boundary to boundary square of the pitch, with the shorter of the two square                 boundaries being a minimum 65 yards (59.43 metres). The straight boundary at both ends of the pitch shall be a minimum of 70 yards (64.00 metres).                 Distances shall be measured from the centre of the pitch to be used.

                In all cases the aim shall be to provide the largest playing area, subject to no boundary exceeding 90 yards (82.29 meters) from the centre of the pitch                 to be used.

19.2         Any ground that has been approved to host international cricket prior to 1st October 2007 or which is currently under construction as of this date                 which is unable to conform to these new minimum dimensions shall be exempt. Law 19.2 - Defining the boundary - boundary marking

19.3 Law 19.3 - Scoring a boundary

               The following shall apply in addition to Law 19.3:

                If an unauthorized person enters the playing arena and handles the ball, the umpire at the bowlers end shall be the sole judge of whether the                 boundary allowance should be scored or the ball be treated as still in play or called dead ball if a batsman is liable to be out as a result of the                 unauthorized person handling the ball. See also Law 19.1 (c).

1. Save for circumstances where a match is awarded to a team as a consequence of the opposing teams refusal to play (Law 21.3), a result can be achieved only if both teams have had the opportunity of batting for at least 5 overs, unless one team has been all out in less than 5 overs or unless the team batting second scores enough runs to win in less than 5 overs.
2. Save for circumstances where a match is awarded to a team as a consequence of the opposing teams refusal to play (Law 21.3), all matches in which both teams have not had an opportunity of batting for a minimum of 5 overs, shall be declared no result.

                Law 21.3 shall be replaced by the following:

1. A match shall be lost by a side which either
1. concedes defeat or
2. in the opinion of the Referee refuses to play

The Referee shall together with the umpires ascertain the cause of the action. If the Referee, after due consultation with the umpires, then decides that this action does constitute a refusal to play by one side, he shall so inform the captain of that side. If the captain persists in the action the Referee shall award the match in accordance with (a)(ii) above.*
3. If action as in (b) above takes place after play has started and does not constitute a refusal to play the delay or interruption in play shall be dealt with in the same manner as provided for in clause 12.4.2 above.

21.6 Interrupted or Prematurely Terminated Matches - Calculation of the Target Score
21.6.1      Interrupted Matches - Calculation of the Target Score

                If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of overs in the innings of either team has to be revised to a lesser number than                 originally allotted (minimum of 5 overs), then a revised target score (to win) should be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will                 have the opportunity of facing. This revised target is to be calculated using the current Duckworth/Lewis method. The target set will always be a                 whole number and one run less will constitute a Tie. (Refer Duckworth/Lewis Regulations).

21.6.2       Prematurely Terminated Matches

                If the innings of the side batting second is suspended (with at least 5 overs bowled) and it is not possible for the match to be resumed, the match will                 be decided by comparison with the D/L Par Score determined at the instant of the suspension by the Duckworth/Lewis method (Refer                 Duckworth/Lewis Regulations). If the score is equal to the par score, the match is a Tie. Otherwise the result is a victory, or defeat, by the margin of                runs by which the score exceeds, or falls short of, the Par Score.

21.7 Correctness of result

                Any query on the result of the match as defined in Laws 21.2, 21.3, 21.4, 21.8 and 21.10 (as modified by these regulations) shall be resolved as soon                 as possible and a final decision made by the umpires at close of play.

                  Loss or Forfeit                                        0

21.9 Qualifying and Group Stage Points Table

               The team with the highest number of points at the end of the Qualifying Stage shall finish 1st on the Qualifying Pool Points Table and the team with                the lowest shall finish 3rd.

               The team with the highest number of points at the end of the Group Stage shall finish 1st on the Group Points Table and the team with the lowest                 shall finish 5th.

21.10 Separating Teams on Equal Points

                In the event of teams finishing on equal points during the Group Stage, the higher finishing position on the Points Table will be assumed by:

1. The team with the most number of wins; or if equal,
2. The team with the highest Net Run Rate; or if equal,
3. The team with the higher number of wickets taken per balls bowled in the Group Stage matches in which results were achieved; or if equal,
4. Drawing lots.

                In a match declared no result, Net Run Rate is not applicable.

21.11 Net Run Rate

                A teams net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team throughout the competition, the average runs per                 over scored against that team throughout the competition.

                In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its net run rate shall be based on the full quota of overs to                 which it would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed.

                Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of net run rate calculations. Where a match is abandoned, but a result is                 achieved under Duckworth/Lewis, for net run rate purposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team 2s Par Score on abandonment off the same number                 of overs faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded but with Duckworth/Lewis having been applied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 will be                 accredited with 1 run less than the final Target Score for Team 2 off the total number of overs allocated to Team 2 to reach the target.

                Runs scored and balls bowled during a Super Over shall not be included in Net Run Rate calculations.

21.12 Qualifying for the Group Stage

                The team that finishes 1st on the Points Table for Qualifying Pool A at the completion of the Qualifying Stage matches shall progress to the Group                 Stage, and assume position Q1 in the Group B fixtures.

                Of the 4 teams from the Qualifying Stage that did not finish 1st on their Qualifying Pool Points Table, the team that finishes with the most points (or if                 equal, separated by the criteria detailed in clause 21.10) shall qualify for the Group Stage, and assume position Q3 in the Group B fixtures, unless                 Kolkata Knight Riders qualifies in this way, in which case they will assume position Q1 in the Group B fixtures and the team that finishes 1st on the                 Points Table for Qualifying Pool A shall assume position Q3 in the Group B fixtures.

21.13 Qualifying for the Semi Finals

                The teams that finish 1st and 2nd on each Group Points Table at the completion of the Group Stage matches shall progress to the Semi Finals.

                The team that finishes 1st on the Group A Points Table will assume position A1 in the Semi Final Match Schedule, and the team that finishes 2nd will                 assume position A2.

                Team B1 will play Team A2 in Semi Final 1 (Bangalore, Friday 7 October)

                Team A1 will play Team B2 in Semi Final 2 (Chennai, Saturday 8 October)

                If Chennai Super Kings qualifies for the Semi Finals, they will play their Semi Final in Chennai, regardless of finishing position.

21.14        If Royal Challengers Bangalore qualifies for the Semi Finals, they will play their Semi Final in Bangalore, regardless of finishing position, unless they are                  drawn to play Chennai Super Kings, in which case they will play in Semi Final 2 in Chennai (due to CSK being the defending CLT20                 Champions).Qualifying for the Final

3. Abandoned Match,

                both teams shall share the title of Champion Team, and the Prize Money shall be split evenly between the two teams.

24.2 Free Hit after a foot-fault no ball

                In addition to the above, the delivery following a no ball called for a foot fault (Law 24.5) shall be a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. If the                 delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or a wide ball), then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever                 batsman is facing it.

                For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball.

                Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change of striker (the provisions of clause 41.2 shall apply).

                The umpires will signal a free hit by (after the normal No Ball signal) extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion.

                 42.5.1 The bowling of fast short pitched balls is unfair if in the opinion of the umpire at the bowlers end he considers that by their repetition and                 taking into account their length, height and direction, they are likely to inflict physical injury on the striker, irrespective of the protective clothing and                 equipment he may be wearing. The relative skill of the striker shall also be taken into consideration.
                42.5.2 In the event of such unfair bowling, the umpire at the bowlers end shall adopt the following procedure:

1. In the first instance the umpire shall call and signal no ball, caution the bowler and inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen of what has occurred.
2. If this caution is ineffective, he shall repeat the above procedure and indicate to the bowler that this is a final warning.

3. Both the above caution and final warning shall continue to apply even though the bowler may later change ends.
4. Should there be any further instance by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal no ball and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof. See Law 22.8. (Bowler Incapacitated or Suspended during an Over).
5. The bowler thus taken off shall not be able to bowl again in that innings.
6. The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as possible to the captain of the batting side.

42.6 Law 42.8 - Deliberate bowling of High Full Pitched Balls

                Law 42.8 shall be replaced by the following:

                The umpire at the bowler’s end shall:

42.6.1 Call and signal no ball.

42.6.2 When the ball is dead, direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith.

42.6.3 Not allow the bowler to bowl again in that innings, or a Super Over.

42.6.4 Ensure that the over is completed by another bowler, provided that the bowler does not bowl two overs or part thereof consecutively.

42.6.5 Report the occurrence to the other umpire, to the captain of the batting side and the Match Referee who shall take such action as is considered            appropriate against the captain and the bowler concerned. (Refer also to Law 42.1 Fair and Unfair Play Responsibility of the Captains).

42.7 Action by the umpires for dangerous and unfair Bowling

                Should the umpires initiate the caution and warning procedures set out in Clauses 42.4.1, 42.4.2, 42.5 and 42.6 such cautions and warnings are not to                 be cumulative.

3. Inform the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as possible the captain of the batting side of what has occurred.

Procedure for the Super Over       The following procedure will apply should the provision for a Super Over be adopted in any match. Subject to weather conditions the Super Over will take place on the scheduled day of the match at a time to be determined by the referee. In normal circumstances it shall commence 5 minutes after the conclusion of the match. The Super Over will take place on the pitch allocated for the match (the designated pitch) unless otherwise determined by the umpires in consultation with the ground authority and the referee. The umpires shall choose which end will be used for bowling and both teams will bowl from the same end. Prior to the commencement of the Super Over each team elects three batsmen and one bowler. The nominated players are given in writing to the Match Referee, with both teams required to submit their choices simultaneously. The umpires shall stand at the same end as that in which they finished the match. Each teams over is played with the same fielding restrictions as those that are in place for the last over of a standard CLT20 match. The team batting second in the match will bat first in the Super Over. The same ball (or a ball of a similar age if the original ball is out of shape) as used at the end of the teams innings shall be used for the Super Over. The loss of two wickets in the over ends the teams Super Over. The team that scores the most runs from its Super Over will be declared the winner. In the event of the teams having the same score after the Super Over has been completed, the team that hit the most number of boundary sixes combined from its two innings in both the main match and the Super Over shall be the winner. For clarity, a six scored which includes a boundary four overthrows will not count in this total. If the number of boundary sixes hit by both teams is equal, the team that hit the most number of boundary fours combined from its two innings in both the main match and the Super Over shall be the winner. For clarify, a six scored which includes a boundary four overthrows will not count. For clarity, a four scored which consists of a boundary four overthrows, or an all-run four, will not count in this total. If the number of boundary fours hit by both teams is also equal, the winner will be decided by the toss of a coin.

APPENDIX 9 Duckworth/Lewis Method of Re-Calculating The Target Score In An Interrupted Match. The Professional Edition of the Duckworth/Lewis shall be used in all matches. If any match is suspended after it has started such that the number of overs available to be faced by either side is reduced from that determined when the match started, the revised target shall be computed using the latest version of CODA as distributed by ICC in accordance with the instructions provided with that software and displayed on the screen. Where possible, arrangements shall be made for the provision of back-up capability, in case of computer malfunction, for the operation or continued operation of the Professional Edition. In the event of computer non-availability or malfunction where no such provision has been made, the Standard Edition (the method in use prior to October 2003) shall be used. CLT20 is using the WINCODA20 Version of Duckworth/Lewis as introduced by ICC on 18 September 2009.In addition, the revised Operating Protocols, dated 01 September 2009, are valid and replace previous versions. ICC has produced a summary of the changes document, from the previous Duckworth/Lewis version and, if required, is available from the CLT20.
