IPL 2022 Format and New Rules 

The IPL 2022 format is not something unfamiliar to the IPL cricket community. The format has been used in the 2011 IPL where the tournament is played with a total of 10 teams.

• The ten teams are divided into two groups of five.
• A random draw was used to determine the groups and who plays whom across the groups once and twice.
• In the group stage, each team plays 14 games facing the other four teams in their group two times each (one home and one away game), four teams in the other group once, and the remaining team two times.
• IPL Points Table system: The team winning a match will be awarded 2 points. The losing team will not receive any points. In case of a draw or no result, both teams will be awarded 1 point.
• A four-game playoff stage following the Page playoff system is held after the group stage. Four games will be played in the playoffs:
  • • Qualifier 1: between the teams ranked first and second in the group stage.
    • Eliminator: between the teams ranked third and fourth in the group stage.
    • Qualifier 2: between the loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of the Eliminator.
    • Final: between the winners of Qualifiers 1 and 2.

IPL Playoffs Format

The playoffs consist of two Qualifiers and one Eliminator. Qualifier 1 is played first, followed by the Eliminator and then Qualifier 2.

Qualifier 1: The first Qualifier is played between the top two teams in the points table. The Qualifier is like a semi-final. The team winning this game goes straight to the IPL final. The loser of Qualifier 1 takes part in Qualifier 2 – for another shot at the final. Thus, the teams finishing in the top two spots of the points table get two bites of the cherry – they have two chances to qualify for the IPL final.

Eliminator: The Eliminator is played between teams who finish at the third and fourth position in the points table. Like the name suggests, the team losing this match is out of the competition. The winner of this match goes into Qualifier 2.

Qualifier 2: The loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of the Eliminator play this game. This again is like a semi-final and the team winning this game moves into the final.

IPL Final: The final and the most crucial juncture of this prestigious competition is played between the winner of Qualifier 1 and the winner of Qualifier 2.
