WHAT IF THE FINAL IS A DRAW?<\/p>\n
If the Sheffield Shield final ends as a draw, the champion will be decided on a first-innings bonus points system.<\/p>\n
During the first 100 overs of each team\u2019s first innings, the batting side earns 0.01 of a point for every run scored over 200, while the fielding team receives 0.1 of a point for every wicket taken.<\/p>\n
For example, if the score reads 9-285 after 100 overs, the batting team will receive 0.85 points and the fielding team will receive 0.9 points.<\/p>\n
