Leaderboards and points breakdown
Who it's for
For any cricket clubs on Get The Game On. Squads are made from active club members (registered users in your club), not a public player pool—it's an internal club league only.
Managers set the season, optional entry fees and prizes, and enter stats and results. Players create a fantasy team, pay an entry fee if the club set one, make weekly transfers within limits, and follow leaderboards and their own points breakdown.
Managers: season, fundraising and prizes
Season dates — You define a fantasy start and end date for the club. Only fixtures whose dates fall in that window can count toward the fantasy leaderboard.
Optional entry fee — You can charge an optional entry fee (minimum £2.00 if you charge at all). Stripe Connect must be set up for the club before an entry fee can be used; payments go through the club's connected account. Once anyone has paid for that season, fee and prize configuration lock so commitments stay fair. If the season has already started, start date and money settings lock in line with the rules in the app.
Prizes (optional) — Add free-text prize descriptions for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. You can flag that prizes scale with the number of entrants; players then see that prizes will be determined based on how many people enter.
Players: building a team
Squad size — Six players per fantasy team.
Player pool — Only players who are active members of your club in the app (from club membership and profiles).
Team name — Choose any name you want.
Entry fee — If the season has a fee, the player completes payment in the app before finalising the team.
Joining late — Points do not apply to matches before the date the fantasy team joined. Scoring follows when they effectively entered, as enforced in the app.
How points are earned
Points are not awarded just because a fixture exists on the schedule. They are calculated from batting, bowling and fielding stats entered under Stats and Results (club home → cricket stats flow). Until those results exist for a match, nobody gets fantasy points from that game.
If stats are corrected later, fantasy points and leaderboard positions are recomputed so the table stays aligned with the official data you entered.
Scoring table
Point values are platform-wide (global scoring rules); they may be versioned over time for fairness. The app includes full "How it works" copy on the Rules screen.
| Area | Stat | Points | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batting | Runs | +1 | Per run |
| 50+ bonus | +10 | Once per innings | |
| 100+ bonus | +20 | Once per innings | |
| Bowling | Wickets | +20 | Per wicket |
| 3-wicket bonus | +10 | Once per innings (3fer) | |
| 5-wicket bonus | +20 | Once per innings (5fer) | |
| Fielding | Catches | +15 | Includes keeper catches |
| Run outs | +15 | Per run out | |
| Stumpings | +15 | Keeper stumpings included |
Extra rules: Milestone bonuses do not stack in a "double dip" way—a 100+ score earns the 100+ bonus, not also the 50+ bonus as separate stacking. There is no "playing" bonus: if a selected player has no scoring actions, they score 0.
Rules and how it works
Which matches count
Within the season date range, eligible club fixtures can include league games, friendlies, midweek games. What matters is that the fixture falls in the fantasy window and has stats entered that drive scoring.
Transfers and when changes take effect
New teams — Scoring starts from the day after the fantasy team is created, so earlier matches in that season are not backfilled.
Transfers and edits — Changes saved today apply to scoring from tomorrow, so there is no same-day swap around a known result.
Weekly transfer limit — Up to two player changes per week(Monday–Sunday). Changes can be spread across the week; after the second change that week, the team is locked until the next week. Unused changes do not roll over.
Leaderboards and ties
Teams are ranked by total points across the full season. Rows can show a split of batting, bowling and fielding fantasy points (batting includes runs and batting milestones; bowling includes wickets and bowling milestones).
Tie-breakers: total points first; if tied, then most batting points, then bowling, then fielding. If still tied, the tie stands.
The leaderboard supports tabs for teams and players, so you can see the best fantasy teams and the real players who are earning the most fantasy points.
