Were entrying a team into festival for the U10 - Initial thoughts on format / timing are:
We have 2 pitches ā 1 Tedd, 1 Tedd Town
8 aside pairs, 2 overs per pair, 8 overs innings. 16 overs match.
Every player (except w/k) to bowl at least 1 over, max 2.
Squads can be up to 10 players
2 groups of 4 teams
ā round robin so if 4 teams then each team has 3 matches in qualifying.
Top team in each group go through to final. 2nd team in each group to 3rd / 4th playoff (2 pitches for finals)
In total we have 6 qualifying matches on each pitch and then finals ā each match 1hr 15mins allocated time so 7hrs start to finish
Start at 9.30. Target finish time of 4.30pm
