# 2016–17 Senior Women's One Day League

The 2016–17 Senior Women's One Day League was the 11th edition of the women's List A cricket competition in India. It took place in October 2016, with 27 teams divided into an Elite Group and a Plate Group. Railways won the tournament by topping the Elite Group Super League, whilst Himachal Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh were promoted from the Plate Group. Railways won the tournament, their fifth in a row and 10th overall.

## Competition format

The 27 teams competing in the tournament were divided into the Elite Group and the Plate Group, with the 10 teams in the Elite Group further divided into Groups A and B and the 17 teams in the Plate Group into Groups A, B and C. The tournament operated on a round-robin format, with each team playing every other team in their group once. The top two sides from each Elite Group progressed to the Elite Group Super League, which was a further round-robin group, with the winner of the group being crowned Champions. The bottom side from each Elite Group was relegated to the Plate Group for the following season. Meanwhile, the top two from each Plate Group progressed to a knockout stage, with the two teams that reached the final being promoted for the following season, as well as playing off for the Plate Group title. Matches were played using a 50 over format.
The groups worked on a points system with positions with the groups being based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:
Win: 4 points. Tie: 2 points. Loss: 0 points. No Result/Abandoned: 2 points.
If points in the final table are equal, teams are separated by most wins, then head-to-head record, then Net Run Rate.
