Competitions
Your team competes in four competitive leagues each week. The senior squad play a Twenty20 and One Day match, while your youth squad play in a Youth Twenty20 and Youth One Day match each week. A Senior One Day knockout cup competition is also held each season.
Each season consists of 14 weeks containing league matches, followed by a one week off-season.
League Structure
The four leagues you participate in all have the same format. Each league consists of an 8 team home and away season, meaning that you will play 14 matches over a 14 week period, 7 of which will be home matches.
Four points are awarded for a win, two points for a tie and no points for a loss. At the end of the season, teams with the same number of points are separated by Net Run Rate (NRR). An explanation of NRR can be found here.
At the end of the season, the team in 1st place from each league will be promoted to a league in a higher division and the teams finishing 7th and 8th will be relegated to a league in the next division down. For example, if your team finishes first in a league in division III it will be promoted to a league in Division II next season.
The leagues in each country operate within a division structure, with each division containing twice as many leagues (and hence teams) as the division immediately above it, as explained in the table below.
| Division Details | ||
|---|---|---|
| Division | Total Number of Leagues | Total Number of Teams |
| I | 1 | 8 |
| II | 2 | 16 |
| III | 4 | 32 |
| IV | 8 | 64 |
| V | 16 | 128 |
Senior One Day Matches
Played on Friday, matches consist of a maximum of 50 overs per side. There are 5-10 bowlers who can each bowl a maximum of 10 overs each. The senior one day competition carries the most prestige. Your results in this league will have the greatest influence on your supporter mood. These matches tend to attract the largest crowds, so they will also be a primary source of revenue.
Senior Twenty20 Matches
Played on Tuesday, matches consist of a maximum of 20 overs per side. There are 5-10 bowlers who can each bowl a maximum of 4 overs each. The Twenty20 competition carries less prestige than the senior one day competition but your results still has a considerable effect on your supporter mood. These matches tend to attract slightly smaller crowds than the senior one day competition.
Youth One Day Matches
Played on Thursday, matches consist of a maximum of 40 overs per side. There are 5-10 bowlers who can each bowl a maximum of 8 overs each. This competition carries less prestige than senior matches, with results having only a small effect on your supporter mood. These matches also attract smaller crowds. Only players aged 20 and under are eligible to play in these matches.
Youth Twenty20 Matches
Played on Monday, matches consist of a maximum of 20 overs per side. There are 5-10 bowlers who can each bowl a maximum of 4 overs each. This competition carries the least prestige, with results having only a small effect on your supporter mood. These matches attract the smallest crowd of any competitive matches. Only players aged 20 and under are eligible to play in these matches.
Matt Krevs Memorial Cup
This is a knockout Senior One Day competition (it is not a friendly competition - ie players gain experience and also fatigue just like in league matches). The draw for the cup is created at the beginning of each season, with the 2048 top ranked Senior One Day sides being automatically entered. The top 1024 teams are seeded in the draw, with the remaining teams being distributed randomly. Once the draw is created your potential path through the competition, including who your potential opponents might be in your section of the draw, can be seen.
Cup matches are played on Sundays and the home team is determined randomly for each match. Each week, winning teams progress to the next round of the cup, while the losers bow out.
Teams that are still in the cup are unable to organise Sunday friendlies.
If a Cup match is tied, the team losing the lowest number of wickets is deemed as the winner. If both teams lose the same number of wickets, then the highest ranked team at the time the Cup draw was created goes through to the next round.

Rankings are determined by calculating average match ratings over the past 8 weeks.
Match ratings in the Matt Krevs Memorial Cup influence a team's Senior One Day rankings.
