New 15 over cricket league?

Hey guys

Myself and a mate are in talks with local sporting fields and sponsors as we are setting up a new 15 over cricket league to be played on thursday and friday nights.

Basically a game lasts for an hour and a half, your team plays 6 rounds and after the 6 rounds come the finals. (so 8 weeks in total including semi's and final)

Summary of rules:

- 15 overs

- U12&13, U14&15, U16&17, 18+

- 18+ games will be on firday with underage groups on the thursday. games played between 4:00pm-9:00pm

- Play from one end to make the game quicker

- 9 players fielding

- Smaller fields (approx. 40m), depends on age group

- Shorter pitch (approx. 19m, rather than 20), kinda makes the game look more exciting

- Fielding team gets two "power plays". For these two overs (any 2 of the 15 overs) are hit and run

- 2 signs on the boundary with our sponsors on it, if you hit it you recieve $50

- Coloured clothing

- Indoor cricket balls, varying colours

- After 3 dot balls the batsman must make a run on the 4th ball otherwise is out

- 2 players outside the circle for first 5 overs, no more than 4 outside for the next 10

- Scores and stats updated on our website

- Batsman with most runs and bowler with most wickets gets to wear a coloured cap, much like the IPL.

- At the end of the season an 'All stars' team will be named comprising of the best 9 players for each age group. MVP player named for each age group, various prizes going to players with most sixes, wickets etc.

- BBQ going each night

So yeah, what do you think? Too short a format or do you see it taking off?

Cheers

We're basically trying to promote playing cricket in a hopefully fun and intersting way.
