Rules

Playing Session Rules

Read these carefully before joining a live playing session.

Actors

• Cricketer: A real-world cricket player participating in the real match.
• Player: A user who joins a playing session and trades using points.

Point Types

1. Subscription Points: Granted when you subscribe before match start; become your initial Unused Points when you enter the session.
2. Joining Points: Granted when you join after match start; become your initial Unused Points when you enter the session (always less than Subscription Points).
3. Unused Points: Your in-session wallet used to buy Cricketer Points.
4. Cricketer Points: The quantity you hold against a specific Cricketer inside the session; you can sell them back into Unused Points.
5. Credits (Reward Credits): Granted at session end by converting remaining Unused Points; stored in your credit account for reward redemptions.

Session Lifecycle

1. Before match start: Players can subscribe to the playing session and earn Subscription Points.
2. After match start: Players can still join and earn Joining Points (reduced compared to Subscription Points).
3. Entering the trade room: Your Subscription/Joining Points appear as Unused Points.
4. Trading window: Buy/Sell is available between overs and paused while an over is in progress.
5. Innings end: All Cricketer Points are automatically sold back to Unused Points, and all Cricketers’ valuations reset to 50.
6. Session end: Remaining Unused Points convert to Credits.

Trading & Portfolio

• You can buy or sell Cricketer Points using Unused Points when trading is open (between overs).
• If you join mid-over, your Unused Points are assigned immediately, and you can trade once the over ends.

Cricketer Valuation

• All Cricketers start at a valuation of 50 at the beginning of an innings.
• Valuation changes in two ways:
  • It can increase based on Cricketer Points purchased.
  • After each over, valuation can increase/decrease based on performance, but only for Cricketers who were batsman/bowler in the last over.
• At innings end, valuations reset to 50.

The exact purchase-to-valuation formula and performance-to-valuation rules will be published here: Valuation rules.

Profit/Loss Logic

• Profit/loss depends on the valuation you bought at, the current valuation, and the Cricketer’s performance during the over.
• For batsmen: you gain if performance beats an expected threshold; you lose if it falls below it.
• For bowlers: the inverse logic applies.

The exact definition of “expected favorable runs” and point conversion will be published here: Expected performance formula.

Give-away Points (Over Rewards)

• Give-away points are distributed after each over.
• They are computed after each ball of the over and distributed to Players based on holdings of the ball’s striker and bowler after the ball completes.
• Give-away points are converted into Cricketer Points.

The exact per-ball distribution math and rounding rules will be published here: Give-away distribution.

Deductions (Over-by-Over)

• After each over, deductions may apply to:
  • Unused Points
  • Cricketer Points of Cricketers who did not bat/bowl in the last over
  • “Expected Cricketers” (next batters / bowlers with overs left)
• Deduction slabs are match-specific.

Match-specific deduction slabs and the definition of “Expected Cricketers” will be published here: Deduction slabs.

Match Events & Session End

• The session is performance-based and runs from match start onward.
• Any time the batting and bowling teams swap is considered an innings end (including a super over).

Edge cases (abandoned matches, delays, interruptions) will be described here: Session edge cases.

Fair Play

1. Multi-accounting, abuse, or manipulation attempts can lead to suspension and forfeiture.
2. Organizer decisions are final in case of technical anomalies or disputes.

We only use match actions required to run the session and show leaderboards. Personal data handling is described in our privacy policy on the game platform.
