4.1 The League Title shall be decided by IPL and shall be subject to amendment at IPL's discretion.

Unless IPL agrees otherwise, the standard time for a Match to finish shall be 3 hours from the scheduled start time (with two innings, each lasting 1 hour 20 minutes and an interval lasting 20 minutes). Each Franchisee shall ensure that its Team takes all such action as is necessary to ensure that Matches involving such Franchisee's Team are completed within the above-mentioned period (including completing the bowling of such Team's overs sufficiently quickly).
4.3 The format for the League shall, unless otherwise decided by IPL, be one division of Teams, each of whom shall play against each other Team both home and away to determine which four Teams shall compete in the semi-finals and grand final referred to below. The first placed Team of the finalists at the end of the regular Season shall play the fourth placed Team in the first semi-final and the second and third placed Teams shall play each other in the second semi-final. The winners of each semi-final shall play in the grand final to determine the winner of the League for that Season.
4.4 There shall be no promotion or relegation from the League. 5 Table and Fixtures
5.1 The league competition table for the League shall be compiled by IPL, the positions in which shall be determined by the number of points gained with points being awarded as follows : 2 points for each Match won; 1 point per Team taking part in the Match, for each Match with no result and for each Match which is tied (where it was not possible in IPL's opinion to have a bowl-out at the end of play); 1 point per Team for any Match which does not commence for any reason (other than where the reason for such non-commencement is a breach of these Operational Rules by one Franchisee which results in such Franchisee forfeiting such Match); and 0 points for any Match lost or forfeited.
5.2 The Team with the highest number of points shall be at the top of the table and the Team with the lowest shall be at the bottom. Where Teams have an equal number of points their relative positions shall be determined by the following: (a) the Team with the most wins in Matches in the League that Season will be placed in the higher position; (b) if there are Teams with equal points and equal wins in that Season, then in such case the Team with the higher net run rate (as calculated in Rule 21.9.5 of the ICC World Twenty20 Playing Conditions 2007) will be placed in the higher position; (c) if following the net run rate calculation above there are Teams which are still equal, then the Team with the higher number of wickets taken per balls bowled in the Matches played that Season in which results were achieved will be placed in the higher position; (d) if still equal at the end of the regular Season then the Team position will be determined by drawing lots. References in paragraphs 5.1 and 5.2 to "Matches" shall not include the above-mentioned semi-finals and grand final.
5.3 If the final or any semi-final Match of the League is tied, or there is no result, the following shall apply; (a) the relevant Teams shall compete in a bowl out to determine which Team is the winner of the Match in question; and (b) if conditions do not permit a bowl out to determine the winner, then the Team which, at the end of the relevant regular Season, finished in the higher position in the League table will be deemed the winner of the relevant semi-final or final.
5.4 The procedure for any bowl out shall be as set out in Appendix 8 of the ICC Standard Twenty20 International Match Playing Conditions, 1 October 2007 version.
