Lineup Rules:
Mark wicket keeper with †/ and a minimum of six bowlers with ^/.
Name a captain for each game (C / )
Failure to post line up in given time will result in same or randomized lineup.

Pitch Types:

Spoiler: Pitch Types

Damp/Sticky - Massively in favor of bowlers and an absolute nightmare to bat on, unless you're Victor Trumper.

Dusty - Plenty of turn on offer for spinners and a good place to bat for spin-savvy batsmen. Good pace bowlers are still likely to thrive.

Even - Provides an evenly balanced contest for all disciplines of the game.

Flat - A batsman-friendly pitch which provides little or no assistance to bowlers. Expect big totals.

Green - A lot of movement on offer early on, making it ideal for fast bowlers. Batting expected to become easier as the match progresses.

Hard - Ideal conditions for batting. Good deal of bounce on offer for fast bowlers as well. Could go either way.

Dry/Slow - Ideal for slow and spin bowlers as the name suggests. Sometimes quite difficult to bat on.

Poor - Uneven bounce and a huge amount of turn on offer for spinners. Expect a slow hard grind for very few runs.

----------

Next Step?:
Submit your contracted players list, lineup and a pitch type for your home games.
Each team has 48 hours to contract players and submit lineup as well for Round 1.

Yes and No.

Firstly. You need to have a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 18 players in your squad all the time.

So for this round obviously you need to make sure you have at least 15 players.

Lastly. You can only retain players when their contract has expired.

The Retention explained on Page 1;

Retention:
- At contract’s end you may re-sign a player with a new contract + retention fee (equals Tier number).
- Example: A 5-Tier player signed for 3 games initially costs 15 coins. To re-sign them for 2 more games. New cost = (5 × 2) + 5 (Retention Fee) = 15 coins
- Not retaining? Player is Exiled for 1 game before re-entering the player pool.
