Section 1

Scoring categories at a glance

A paper scorebook showing the categories used to score fantasy contests
Read the same categories in three places: the platform rules, the contest page and the help section.
  • Batting: runs, fours, sixes, strike-rate milestones.
  • Bowling: wickets, dot balls, economy milestones, maidens.
  • Fielding: catches, run-outs, stumpings.
  • Captain and vice-captain multipliers apply on top.
  • Strike-rate and economy multipliers apply at thresholds that vary per format.

Section 2

A sample-based walk-through

Every platform uses its own point table. Read the table on the contest page before submitting your team. The walk-through below uses clearly labelled examples rather than invented platform figures.

Section 3

Captain and vice-captain logic

A paper note on captain and vice-captain logic
The captain choice is the highest-leverage decision in any contest.

The captain receives a multiplier, often 2x, and the vice-captain a smaller multiplier. The choice should reflect both the player form and the conditions. Reconsider the captain pick after the toss is announced.
