Section G P a g e | 96 21 Duckworth/Lewis 21.1 The Duckworth/Lewis (DL) (Standard Edition) method must be used in all matches. If any match is suspended after it has started such that the number of overs available to be faced by either side is reduced from that determined when the match started, the revised target shall be computed using the latest version of the Standard Duckworth/Lewis Method provided with the Play-Cricket Scorer Pro Laptop program or with the App on Tablets or Smart Phones in accordance with the instructions provided with that software and displayed on the screen. Arrangements shall be made for the provision of back-up capability, in case of computer malfunction, for the operation or continued operation. This shall be in the form of [another] smartphone or tablet where Play-Cricket Scorer is installed. Note: It will be the responsibility of the HOME club to ensure that a competent person is available to input the scores to set the Target as calculated automatically and ensure that the Par Score for the end of the over is correct and that this score is displayed on the ground. 21.2 For this competition, the G50 value to be used is 245. 22 Super Over 22.1 The teams shall compete in a Super Over to determine the winner. 22.2 Subject to weather conditions, the Super Over will take place at a time to be determined by the Officials.
