Team of 10 (minimum of 2 boys or 2 girls)

Batting – Only four players can bat at one time; the remaining batters should wait in a safe area ready to come in.

Fielding – Fielders spread out (but no-one can start by standing inside the ‘diamond’). A fielder at each set of stumps (as a wicket-keeper) is a good idea.

Bowling – The bowler stands in the middle of all four stumps (stumps set out in a diamond shape).

The Game – Bowler bowls underarm or overarm at any set of stumps. Batters can run if they hit or miss the ball. All four batters run at the same time – in an anti-clockwise direction – with no overtaking. One run is scored when all batters advance safely to next wicket. As soon as the bowler receives the ball back s/he can bowl it again at any stumps so the batters always need to be ready.

The team with the most runs wins.

Ways of being out – Caught, Bowled, Hit wicket, Run out. When a batter is out, the next batter comes in to replace them.

Staff from the schools that enter the competition will be umpiring the games.

PLEASE ONLY CHOOSE ONE TIME SLOT FROM THE OPTIONS BELOW.
