Hampshire, Somerset and Leicestershire all had the same number of wins and the same number of away wins, so the positions were determined by run-rate - Hampshire 5.355, Somerset 4.580, Leicestershire 4.265

Each team to receive a maximum of 40 overs, with each bowler restricted to 8 overs and the bowler's run-up restricted to 15 yards.
If two or more teams finish in on the same number of points in any of the first three places, the positions will be decided on the most wins, or if still equal, the most away wins, or if still equal the highest average run-rate per over throughout the season. Counties with the same number of points in other than first three places share the position.

Points system:
Win: 4 points
Tie: 2 points
