A new method of deciding the Championship was introduced where all counties played 28 matches with the team with the most points being declared winners instead of the previous system of calculating the percentage of points gained against possible points available.[2]

Table

  • Four points were awarded for a tie
  • Five points for the side leading after the first innings of a drawn match
  • Three points for the side losing after the first innings of a drawn match
  • Four points for the sides if tied after the first innings of a drawn match
  • Four points for a no result on first innings (after more than six hours playing time)
