2 Rounders Rules Teams Games shall be played between 2 teams. A team consisting of a maximum of 15 players and a minimum of 6 of whom no more than 9 may be on the field at one time. Batter Wait in the backward area well away from 4th Post. If out, wait in the backward area well away from 1st Post. You will have one good ball bowled to you. No Ball if: Not smooth underarm action. Ball is above head or below knee. Ball bounces on way to you. Is wide or straight at body. The bowler's foot is outside the square during the bowling action. You can take a normal run on a no ball, but once you reach 1st Post you cannot return. You score in the normal way

3 Scoring 1 rounder if 4th Post reached and touched before next ball is bowled. 1 rounder if 4th Post reached on no ball (you cannot be caught out). 1/2 rounder if 4th Post reached without hitting the ball. 1/2 rounder if 2nd Post reached after hitting the ball (you stay at 1st whilst ball is in the backward area). Penalty 1/2 rounder for an obstruction by a fielder. Penalty 1/2 rounder for 2 consecutive no balls (to the same batter). 1 rounder for a backward hit if 4th Post reached (you stay at 1st whilst ball is in the backward area). Out When Caught. Foot over front/back line of batting square before missing or hitting a ball. Running inside Post (unless obstructed). The Post you are running to is stumped. You lose contact with the post during bowler's action when he has possession in his square. You overtake. You obstruct (you have right of way on track only).

4 Running Around The Track - Please Carry The Bat If you stop at a post you must keep contact with the Post, hand or bat. If you do not, the fielding side can stump the following Post to put you out. You can run on to a post even if it has been previously stumped. (You do not score if you do it on 4th Post). When the bowler has the ball in his square, you cannot move on, but if you are between Posts, you can carry on to the next. You cannot have two batters at a Post. The umpire will ask the first to run on when second one makes contact. At a Post, you do not have to move on for every ball bowled. You can move on as soon as the ball leaves the bowler's hand, this includes no balls. You must touch 4th Post on getting home.
