Fantasy Cricket Rules

How NDCC Fantasy Cricket squads, transfers, chips, scores, leagues, and leaderboards work.

Competition intent

NDCC Fantasy Cricket is a club engagement game for Newcomb and District Cricket Club members, players, families, and supporters.
Manager accounts use public Supabase Auth and are separate from committee admin accounts.
Public scoring is based on published fantasy match-stat imports only.

Each manager selects a 15-player squad with 11 starters and 4 bench players.
Squads must include exactly 2 WK, 5 BAT, 3 AR and 5 BOWL players unless admins change role limits in settings.
The Starting XI must include at least 1 WK, 3 BAT, 1 AR and 3 BOWL players.
The squad must stay within the active fantasy budget and use active fantasy players only.
One captain and one vice-captain are required, and they cannot be the same player.
Bench players need a unique bench order from 1 to 4.

Transfers swap one current squad player for one active fantasy player and are saved to an audit trail.
One free transfer is available by default each round; additional transfers receive the configured points penalty.
Wildcard removes transfer penalties for the round in which it is used.
Bench Boost includes bench player points for that round.
Triple Captain makes the captain score triple points for that round.
Free Hit can be recorded in this MVP for audit purposes, but temporary squad restoration is not automated yet.

Current enabled fantasy scoring rules are applied when admins calculate manager round scores.
Captain points are doubled unless Triple Captain is active for the round.
Manager leaderboard standings use saved manager round scores after transfer penalties.
Private classic leagues rank members by total net points. Head-to-head leagues are not part of this MVP.
