Match Rules, Tournament Rules and Points System updated in the first post. WE ARE GOOD TO GO!!!!!
Please read the first post and ask me if you have any questions. Understand well how to set up a match against your opponent.
I'm pasting the rules here for ease of reading:
Points System
The official Ranji Trophy points system will be adopted.
In case of equal points at the end of the tournament, ranking will be decided by Net Average; the higher the better. This is similar to Net Run Rate, but considers wickets instead of overs. The formula for Net Average is {(Total Runs scored in the tournament/Total Wickets lost in the tournament) - (Total Runs conceded in the tournament/Total Wickets taken in the tournament)}. Based on the formula (and based on logic), a higher Net Average is caused due to scoring more runs and taking more wickets, while losing less wickets and conceding less runs. A losing team is considered to have lost 20 wickets even if they have declared either of their innings (and the winning team is therefore considered to have taken 20 wickets). A winning team or drawn team or tied team is considered to have lost only the actual number of wickets they lost in the match.

Match Rules
READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE SETTING UP ANY MATCH!
Any manager who is hosting the match must create a new match type.
To create a new match type, go to Don Bradman Cricket Academy > Match Type Designer > New Match Type and use the following settings:
- Wickets per innings: 10
- Balls per over: 6
- Days per match: 3
- Overs per day: 70
- 2 Innings Match: Yes
- Innings 1 & 2 Compulsory Closures: Not Enforced
- Start Time: 9:30 am
- Sessions- Session 1 Duration: 4 hours
- Bowlers have over cap: No
- Use diff ball from each end: No
- New ball available: 35 overs
- Follow on: Trailing by 200
- Test match style wides: Yes
- Free hit on no ball: No
- No ball value: 1 run
- Bouncers per over: 2
- Decision reviews per innings: 2
- BARS reset at: 35 overs
- Keep BARS on umpire's call: No
- Drawn/tied match: No winner is fine
- Fielding restrictions: Max legside=9, Max behind leg=2, Max outfielders=9, Fielding restriction count=0
- Visuals: Leave as default, with rope distance=Medium
Then press circle to go back and press triangle to edit the name to "PC Ranji Rules".
There will be maximum 105 overs per team and 210 overs per match. If you bat for 105 overs, you have to declare and cannot bat again in the match. In the first innings, you can continue batting until (a) you declare, or (b) you are all out, or (c) you play 105 overs. In the second innings you can continue batting until (a) you declare, or (b) you are all out, or (c) you chase down the target, or (d) you play a total of 105 overs across two innings, in which case you must declare.
While setting up an online match, do not select Normalise Skills
Other Tournament Rules
- Each match needs to be completed within 14 days of scheduling.
- Managers should set up their matches well in advance by communicating on this forum.
- Do not accept any forfeit request EVER.
- In case your player is ruled out by the umpire due to a bug (such as bowled when it hit the legs, or caught when it bounces, or lag during play), tough luck. The same can happen to both players.
- You MUST SAVE YOUR GAME every 10 overs. You have to save and exit, and then load the game again.
- If any player gets disconnected or receives a black screen of death bug, please continue from the last save point.
- Please try and connect your PS3 using a wired connection since BigAnt have confirmed that online play performs better this way.
- It would be very exciting and informative for us all if you wrote down your scores at the end of every 10 overs or every session for everyone to see. Just the main scores and top batsmen/bowlers.
Points System
The official Ranji Trophy points system will be adopted.
- Outright Win - 6 points
- Bonus Point (for innings or 10 wicket wins) - 1 point
- First Innings Lead in a Drawn Match - 3 points
- First Innings Deficit in a Drawn Match - 1 point
- No Result - 1 point each
- Outright Loss - 0 points
In case of equal points at the end of the tournament, ranking will be decided by Net Average; the higher the better. This is similar to Net Run Rate, but considers wickets instead of overs. The formula for Net Average is {(Total Runs scored in the tournament/Total Wickets lost in the tournament) - (Total Runs conceded in the tournament/Total Wickets taken in the tournament)}.

A winning team or drawn team or tied team is considered to have lost only the actual number of wickets they lost in the match.
