• Participation of ineligible players will have retroactive and adverse consequences on the
  team's standing in the tournament
• The tournament committee may allow, only in exceptional circumstances, an unlisted player to become   listed after the start of the tournament. Such a player is still subject to satisfying the age and stay   requirements as per above before being treated as eligible. Team will have to apply with the   tournament committee for such a change. Tournament committee’s decision will be final.

Points (This information is also a   part of the detailed CCA documentation and is repeated here for the purposes of highlighting the   importance and easy access)
• The winner of each match will get two (2) points
• The loser of a match will get no (0) points
• Match canceled (whether in progress or not started) due to acts of nature and due to external forces   beyond our control will result in each team getting one (1) point.
• A team that starts play (batting or fielding) with one or more ineligible players will forfeit the match   and the points accrued regardless of when during the tournament the violation is discovered.
• A team that is not ready to play half an hour after the start time of the match will forfeit the match and   the points will be awarded to the other team provided they are present in sufficient number. A team is   deemed ready to play if it has at least seven (7) players present.
• Match canceled upon neither team being deemed ready to play (per above) half an hour after the   scheduled start will result in both teams getting 0 points.
• To determine semi-finalists and finalists in a tournament when points are equal, the net run rate   formula (NRR) will be used.

NRR =
Total runs scored over the matches played
-
Total runs scored against over the matches played
Total number of overs used for the played matches
Total number of overs bowled for the played matches
• In case a team was all out before its allotted overs in a match, the NRR shall be calculated by   considering the allotted overs instead of used overs for that match by the team.
• Outcome of finals or semi-finals canceled per above will be determined by (i) highest number of wins   which if equal, (ii) by NRR which if equal (ii) by a series of coin flips as needed.
