County Championship 2000
The County Championship 2000 was the 102nd season of the national first-class cricket competition in England and Wales . It was held for the first time in two divisions, Division 1 and Division 2. Division 1 was won by Surrey , which thus reached their sixth county championship. Relegated from Division 1 were Hampshire , Durham and Derbyshire , which were replaced in the following 2001 season by the top three of Division 2, Northamptonshire , Essex and Glamorgan .
format
The 18 First Class Counties were divided into two divisions according to the results of the 1999 season . In each division, each team played one home and one away game against each other. A team received 12 points for a win and 6 points for a draw (both teams achieve the same number of runs ). If no result is achieved and the game ends in a draw, both teams get 4 points. In addition, there is the possibility of collecting bonus points in the first 130 overs of the first inning . Up to 5 points are awarded for runs and up to 3 points for wickets. Furthermore, it is possible that teams are deducted points if, for example, they play too slowly or the pitch is not properly prepared. At the end of the season, the winner of Division 1 is County Champion, the last three in this division are relegated and the top three in Division 2 are promoted.
