County Championship

The experimental point scoring system adopted for 1910 on the recommendation of Lancashire was generally regarded as unsatisfactory. Several alternative proposals were put forward by counties such as Yorkshire Sussex, and Surrey. Ultimately Somerset in February 1911 put forward a scheme in which, for the first time, points were awarded for a win on the first innings, and this was accepted by the MCC in the final week of that month. *Five points were awarded for a win. *Three points were awarded for "winning" the first innings of a drawn match. *One point was awarded for "losing" the first innings of a drawn match. *Matches in which no result was achieved on the first innings were not included in calculating maximum possible points. *Final placings were decided by calculating the percentage of possible points.
