Fantasy rules & play policy

How it works

This is an internal fantasy-style game for entertainment among registered users (for example a club, office, or closed group). You pick a fantasy XI for a real IPL match, join contests your organiser creates, and earn points based on how those players perform in that match (as recorded in our system).

• One fantasy team = exactly 11 different players from the squads available for that match.
• You must pick at least 1 wicket-keeper, 1 batter, 1 all-rounder, and 1 bowler (roles shown when you build your team).
• You may pick at most 7 players from the same IPL franchise.
• After selecting 11 players, you choose a captain and vice-captain (they must be two different players).
• Team creation and edits are only allowed before the match is treated as started (scheduled time and/or status set by the organiser).

Points & scoring

For each real player in the match, we store batting runs, wickets taken as bowler, and catches (fielding) from the official-style scorecard we sync. Your fantasy app then turns those numbers into base fantasy points for that player in that match:

These weights are applied by the system when it recalculates scores from the match database. They may be reviewed by the organiser; any change would be communicated to players.

Not counted in the current system: extras, strike rate, economy, run-outs, stumpings, maiden overs, boundaries bonus, negative points for ducks, etc. Only the three categories in the table above are used for automated points today.

Captain & vice-captain

Your team total for a contest is the sum of fantasy points for all 11 slots, after multipliers:

• Captain: that player’s base points for the match are multiplied by 2×.
• Vice-captain: that player’s base points for the match are multiplied by 1.5×.
• All other players in your XI use their base points with no multiplier.

Leaderboards rank fantasy teams by total team points (highest first). Tie-breaking, if any, is as implemented on the contest screen or decided by the organiser.

Organiser policy & final decisions

This platform is run as a private, skill-based fantasy game for entertainment. It is not offered as gambling or commercial betting. Participation, contests, and any entry amounts are managed by your organiser / administrator according to your group’s rules and applicable law.

Scorecards and data errors

Match statistics are loaded from external cricket sources and automated parsers. Mistakes can happen (wrong player linked, delayed update, incomplete fielding data, etc.). The organiser’s decision on scores, corrections, and final standings is final for disputes within this game, including after manually adjusting data or re-running score updates.

Cancelled or abandoned matches

If a match is canceled or cannot be completed fairly, the organiser may mark it accordingly in the system. For paid entries, the intended approach is to refund eligible amounts (for example via the admin refund flow and payment records). Exact timing and method (bank transfer, UTR reference, etc.) depend on your organiser. If you believe you are owed a refund, contact the organiser using the details they provide (for example the contact page).

Changes to these rules

The organiser may update scoring rules or policies for future contests. Material changes should be shared with players (for example by message or by updating this page with a new date).
