The following decisions were taken by clubs, at the AGM, held on Monday 28th November:-
1/. In The Dorset Premier League, there will be batting and bowling power plays and a free hit for a front foot No Ball.
2/. The Sunday Leagues will still consist of an 18 week season, but the games will be reduced to 40 overs-a-side, with a maximum of 8 overs per bowler. In addition, all games will now start at 1.30pm.
3/. There will also be a 20/20 competition, run alongside the Sunday Leagues, in June and July.
4/. On Saturdays, Divisions 5,6,7 & 8 will be regionalised.
5/. On both Saturdays and Sundays, the average points system has been abolished. If a match is cancelled, without a ball bowled, both teams will receive 5 points. Should a match be abandoned, after the commencement of play, then teams will keep any bonus points accrued, in addition to the 5 points.
