Fantasy Cricket Rules

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

Back to Fantasy Cricket

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.

Squad selection

  • 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 and chips

  • 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.

Scores, leagues and leaderboards

  • 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.
