Fantasy League returns to Illingworth for the 2016 season, with players from the 1st XI, 2nd XI and 3rd XI eligible for selection. With six cash prizes up for grabs over the season, it’s up to you to choose your team wisely.

GENERAL RULES

  1. Entry charge is £10 per team, payable to the Fantasy League owner (Luke).
  2. Each team has a budget of £60,000 to buy players with.
  3. Each team must consist of 5 batters, 3 all-rounders, 1 wicketkeeper and 2 bowlers.
  4. As a manager, you do not have to pick yourself.
  5. No expletives in team names (we’re a family club).
  6. Points are awarded from all 1st XI, 2nd XI and 3rd XI league and cup games.
  7. Each manager may select a player to be the captain. This player scores double points, and can be changed during the transfer window (see Transfers).
  8. Teams will not be officially entered until payment has been received.
  9. Fantasy League owner has the final say in any disputes.

TRANSFERS

  1. Each team is allowed two transfers per month.
  2. The transfer window opens the Monday after the last weekend in a month, and closes on the Friday of that week at 8pm, e.g. Monday 30th May to Friday 3rd June.
  3. Any weekend that is ‘split’, e.g. Sat 30th April/Sun 1st May, shall be counted as part of the earlier month (April in this case) – this also applies to Manager of the Month awards.
  4. It is up to the team manager to ensure that the transfers keep their team’s total spend at or below £60,000. If the transfers will cause the team’s total to exceed £60,000 then they shall not be valid.
  5. Any player joining the club once the season has started will be available for transfer when the transfer window opens.

PRIZES

  1. Total money gained from team entries will be split between the club and the prize fund.
  2. Cash prizes are available for the following:
  3. Manager of the Season
  4. 4x Manager of the Month – May, June, July, August
  5. Winner of the KaramatHussain Invitational Cup (head to head knockout tournament)
  6. No cash prizes are given out for runners-up – if you’re not first, you’re last.

COMPETITIONS

  1. The main Fantasy League ranks teams on their total points accumulated throughout the season.
  2. The Manager of the Month is awarded to the manager of the team who has accumulated the most points for games played in that calendar month. April and September are excluded.
  3. The KaramatHussain Invitational Cup is a head to head knockout tournament that takes place on the first weekend of each month (excluding April, unless number of teams exceeds 32). The team with the most points that weekend advances to the next knockout round. If all three of the weekend’s matches are rained off, then the round will be carried over to the following weekend. If at least one match takes place, then the round is valid.
