WHAT'S THIS ABOUT
- Modify Super Bonus Points Reg 34.2.6, 34.2.7, 34.2.8
PROPOSAL
- See below.
- This concerns Sat 35 (both regular and 1 day only competitions), Sun 50, Over 40 games only.
- There are no Super Bonus Points in Super 20 or 2 Day cricket.
DISCUSSION
- From an admin point of view Super Bonus Points are a pain...
- because the SBP must be added manually by teams, most seasons there are numerous SBP which go unclaimed.
- An admin check is needed for all results prior to the end of the season to find the "errors" and the "missing ones".
- In close ladders this can disrupt placings.
- From a competition point of view, what does it offer?
- Are the games more exciting because of it?
- Do teams aim to play better to get an extra point?
- Not that I've noticed.
- Both these reasons are arguments for
Proposal 1:DROPPING Super Bonus Points.
-
Proposal 2: Make them AUTOMATIC (through redesign) like regular bonus points, just enter the scores and PlayHQ works it out... but what form would they need to be?PlayHQ advice indicates this is not practical.
Proposal 3: Make the SBP conditions the same for each competition.
Over 40 has a win by restricting batting side to 60% of target score.Unlike the other 3 game typesSuper 20 does not have Super Bonus Points at all.
Proposal 4: Reword Reg 34.2.7 to make more clear that the SBP is awarded for a win achieved at any point up to the end of the target over.
"By the end of xx overs..." is open to interpretation.e.g. A winning run scored or wicket taken on 19.6 overs in a Sat 35 game scores a SBP. (This HAPPENED in 2024/25.) But on 20.1 overs does not.
