No match in all other Divisions shall be reduced to less than 50 overs, scheduled at 25 overs per team. 16.4 The interval shall be reduced from the maximum of 30 minutes’ duration to maximise the playing time available. 16.5 The revised number of overs to be bowled, the time allowance, and the maximum number of overs per bowler, is calculated from the revised start time and is shown in Appendix A, Table 1 for the Championship, and Appendix B, Table 1 for all other Divisions. 16.6 The following table displays the required number of runs required for batting bonus points in a match that is delayed or has had a pre-emptive reduction in the number of overs and is then uninterrupted.
