CLUBS have approved the playing rules for a one-day 50-over competition, which will form part of the Serious Cricket Home Counties Premier League this season.
They voted 24-3 in favour of the proposal, with three clubs absent from an EGM.
The 50-over competition will form half of the league programme, running alongside 120-over matches in Division 1 and 110-over games in Divisions 2 East & West.
The first five and the last four games will be in the 50-over competition, with the nine matches of the longer format in between.
Points will be 25 for a win in both competitions, with 15 for a tie and six for an abandoned match or the batting and bowling bonus points a team has accrued if they are higher when the game is called off.
Losing teams in the 50-over competition will pick up bonus points.
League positions will be determined by the overall points totals from both competitions.
Matches in the 50-over competition will start at 11.30am, with lunch breaks of 40 minutes remaining.
