- Please remember that I have taken the latest update of the squads. Anyhow, you have the chance to edit the team combination until the first ball, even considering the toss, and team news.
โ Team Combination
- 11 players per team
- A balanced squad: 2โ6 Batters, 1-5 All-rounders, 2โ6 Bowlers, 1 Wicketkeeper
- Choose a Captain (2x points) and Vice-Captain (1.5x points)
The wicketkeeper should be one of the real wicketkeepers from any team. You can choose the remaining wicket-keeper as a general player, but his stumping points will not be added.
No need to choose a real captain or vice-captain, so you can choose any player for these two positions to maximize your points.
Please remember that the batting points for ballers, as well as balling points for a batter, will also be calculated.
โ Points System
| Action | Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| Batting Points | |
| Runs Scored | 1 per run |
| 30+ Runs Bonus | +10 |
| 50+ Runs Bonus | +15 |
| 100+ Runs Bonus | +25 |
| Boundary Bonus | +3 for a six, +2 for a four |
| Out for a duck | -5 |
| Bowling Points | |
| Wickets taken | 15 per wicket |
| 3+ Wickets Bonus | +15 |
| 5+ Wickets Bonus | +25 |
| Maiden overs | +10 |
| 20+ runs conceded for an over | -5 |
| Fielding Points | |
| Catch Taken | 6 per catch |
| Stumping/Run-Out | 8 per dismissal |
You can predict the winning team of the match as well. If you are right, the total points will be multiplied by 1.1 factor.
โ The way of participating
So, you have to do a small thing.
You have to predict the team, and submit as a comment on this post.
In the post or comment, you have to mention the team, their positions (whether baller/ batter, etc) according to the guidelines in the Team Combination section, and the winning team.
โ Rules
Just follow the guidelines and make your team.
Resteem this post, and mention three of your friends to promote the event.
Participants must submit your teams before the first ball.You can edit the team combination until then, even considering the toss and team news. ** I will check it with the Steemworld.
โ Winners Criteria & Prizes
Therefore, the total team points for each entry will be calculated separately. Yeah, I know it will be a very busy week for me. I have already made the format.
There will be two types of winners.
- Daily Winners: Top three Highest scorers of the day (10 Steem will be shared per day)
- Overall Tournament Winner: Top three Highest scorers across all matches (prizes will be announced later)
The prize pool will indeed be increased with the level of excitement and support from you guys!
Points and winners will be updated daily, and so will the prizes.
There will be no separate post for announcing the winners (as there will be so many posts.) I will announce the winners as a comment in this post a few hours after the match.
Special thanks to @disconnect for supporting the contest prize with 50 Steem.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or additions!
Next match update will be shared 12-24 hours before the start of the match
PS: This contest is exclusively for genuine Cricket lovers! As you can see, I have to put a lot of effort into calculating the points, and so on. So, I hope you guys will do me the favor without copying and pasting others' entries just to win a prize.
Letโs make the Asia Cup even more exciting together!
