I’m running a virtual cricket competition cause there is no sport on and i’m rather bored at home.
All are welcome to play.
The rules are as follows;
Before the start of the tournament you need to select your team (A to J, check this post to see what’s available). You can’t change teams at any stage once the first round robin match beings. Max of 10 teams. Once there are 10 confirmed the tournament begins. You don’t need to be online to play as you can always see the results when you come back online, but please check regularly to be fair to those who are online and want to play.
Nine rounds are played so every team plays each other once.
There is a semi final and grand final.
Each round consists of;
- Two teams and five matches.
- Each team has 10 overs.
- Overs consist of 6 deliveries.
- A delivery consists of roll of two dice with 7 sides (7 side dice as there were too many hat tricks with 6).
- If it’s a double 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 then batsman is out and is deducted 5 runs.
- If it’s a double 1 then the batsman is let off the hook due to a poor umpiring decision and scores 0 for that delivery.
- If it’s not a double number a third dice is rolled also with 7 sides and represents the number of runs they get. If the value rolled is a 5 or 7 then it’s a dot ball.
- The team after 10 overs with the most runs is the winner.
- For each win the team receives 1 point. Losers get 0.
- Teams ladder is posted at the end of each round.
- To create drama results are displayed in 4 overs, 4 overs then the final 2 overs.
- All innings in each round is played concurrently, so no coin toss is required.
After the grand final winner is declared all teams are removed. Nominate your team again to compete in the next series!
