Team Selection
Your team consists of 4 Batsmen, 2 All Rounders, 1 Wicketkeeper, 4 Bowlers and one emergency for each position
If you have not selected a full team, including emergencies, then your team will not participate in the next round.
Emergencies
You have an extra player per playing position, who will act as an emergency if a player in your starting XI for that position doesn't play.
The emergency players points will only count to your score after a player in that position has not played in all their teams matches for that round.
Players that are listed in the team when the game starts will count, even if they score 0 points or they never get the chance to take to the field due to rain, so long as a ball has been bowled in that match.
If a game is abandoned before the toss or before a ball has been bowled, those players are not considered to have played a game.
Captains
You are able to select a Captain who will earn you double points. You can do this by clicking the 'C' button on a player in your starting XI
If you don't select a Captain, nothing bad will happen, you just miss out on the opportunity for extra points.
If your captain scores a negative points, that will still be doubled.
Trades
In between regular season rounds, team owners are allowed to completed 2 trades.
You will only be able to complete your trades if you have enough money.
The Metro Bank Cup has a rolling lockout, where players can be traded up until their teams first game. You can also adjust your team and captain so long as their team has yet to play.
You can reverse a trade after the round has started if the teams for both players involved in the trade are yet to play and you have enough salary cap remaining.
Note that you can make an unlimited number of changes up until the start of the competition
Price Changes
Players will have their price adjusted after they have played 3 games.
A player can have more than one price adjustment if they play more than one game in a round.
League Structure
Leagues head-to-head leagues must have six or more complete teams to begin. If not, the starting round of the league will be pushed to the following round.
Public head-to-head leagues may be autofilled during their first round if they do not have enough teams.
In a head-to-head league, you play head-to-head against another team in your league, with teams ranked on a ladder based off those results.
In an open league, teams are ranked of their total points and the ladder updated at the end of each round.
League Owners have control over the structure of the league, the number of teams allowed, if it is head-to-head or open and what round it starts.
For the Metro Bank Cup, all leagues will have the top four teams play in the Final across 3 final rounds.
Ladder
You get 4 points for a win, 2 for a draw, and no points for a loss. Teams are then ordered by most points, then by percentage (points scored in matches as a percentage of points conceded)
