BigCricket Fantasy Cricket League Laws and Etiquette
BigCricket Fantasy Cricket League Laws
1 – Basic Conduct and Ettiqutte
1.1: Spirit of the game: All captains, players and random viewers of the BigCricket Fantasy Cricket League must adhere to the spirit of the game. This is an Online Cricket League with egos and attitude running amok. Mild-Medium abuse is tolerated; however a warning then suspension will occur if the abuse is considered to be unreasonable by the administrator.
Race, Ethnicity, Nationality, Sexual comment or any other abuse directed at a player’s Ethnic, cultural or religious background will not be tolerated and is punishable by warning, suspension or permanent suspension from the game depending upon severity.
Swearing is governed by the BigCricket rules; however the board administrator has the authority to act in addition to the BigCricket moderators and administrators. This may result in a warning, suspension or permanent suspension from the game depending upon severity
The Golden Rule in BigCricketFantasy Cricket Board posting: Never take anything personally or too seriously. Nothing in here is directed at the person but the player and their team. If you feel as if you are getting attacked personally PM the BigCricket Fantasy Cricket League Administrator to investigate the claim. If it’s found to be indeed personal action will be taken.
1.2: Captains conduct: Captains are the most significant members of the club. Captains therefore are responsible for the publicity, attitude, integrity and image of the club as that is how the fellow players of that club will more than likely emulate. Captains of each club are usually the biggest talkers and the biggest egos of the competition however all captains must also follow these laws and etiquette more strictly than most as it is their club’s image they are responsible for promoting, upholding and bettering.
1.3: The Game
The game is Cricsim and it's basically a Cricket Simulator in which each selected player plays in a simulated game which provides a ball-by-ball commentary. The Administrator, or an assistant, runs the simulation and posts each game. Each player signs up for a team in which the captain usually names the team for each game ( Vice Captain or any other player may post a side but Captains choice takes priority, then vice captain).The Administrator shall post the version of Cricsim being used before the season starts.
The League
In 2008 the league will comprise 4 teams (listed below). There will be 12 rounds each playing the other teams four times. This is followed by a Top 3 finals system. There are two competitions: One Day competition and the Test competition (as you'd expect).

Selection
Obviously good results and good form are essential when you do get selected but Captains are encouraged to select players who post on this board regularly and get into the game e.g. Sledging the opposition, releasing "Press Releases, Articles, Player Interviews with popular media representatives" about you & your team and how highly/egotistically you rate your chances, having your say in issues that arise etc etc
Basically if you post on this board frequently you should get more games and find you have a lot more fun boasting.
2 – Game Day
2.1: Selecting teams: Each captain has to select a team and post it in the appropriate match thread before the time specified. There are minimum requirements for each team of 11:
Minimum 1 Wicketkeeper
Minimum of 1 all-rounder of any kind (Pure all rounder, Non pure bat/bowl) and a minimum of 4 bowlers of any type.
The captain must name each player in the team in batting order. "Unchanged" will not be a valid selection.
Violation of this rule will result in that team being considered void and the captain will have to re-select the team before the deadline. Failure to submit a team after posting one with an invalid selection will result in a warning and the team from last round used. If a team fails to submit their team and/or pitch by the deadline twice they will be docked a point for each breach for the remainder of the season. Vice Captains may also be responsible for selection if the captain doesn’t appear to be present however if the Captain does post a team that will be the team recognised. Within an hour of the deadline any player from the club may select the team if none is present however if the Captain or Vice Captain post a side that team will be recognised.
2.2: Late submission of teams in Round 1: Late submission of a team or pitch in Round 1 will result in the club responsible being warned and the team being selected by the administrator of the league. The pitch will be ‘random’.
2.3: Late submission of teams after Round 1: Late submission of a team or pitch after Round 1 will result in the club responsible being warned once before being docked 1 point for every breach afterwards. The team will be that used in the previous game of that type, where possible. In the event of a suspended player having been played in the previous game the Administrator shall select a substitute. The pitch shall be ‘random’ if not selected in time.
2.4: Late submission of teams during finals: Late submission of a team during finals will result in the club responsible having a team selected based on that of their previous match. In the event of a suspended player having been played in the previous game the Administrator shall select a substitute
2.5: Submission of pitch condition: Once the pitch is selected by the captain it cannot be changed.
2.6: Day delays: If the Administrator of the competition is away or for some other reason unable to fulfil his/her duty the days of play missed in Administrators absence may be posted in one day.
