SACC Fantasy Cricket League 2010

What is Fantasy Cricket?

SACC Fantasy Cricket is a fun way to take part in the club's league campaign, a friendly competition with prizes at the end of the season.  Each participant chooses 11 Sarisbury Athletic players who they think will perform during the coming season.  Those players score points depending on how they do, and the teams with the most points at the end of the season will win prizes!

How much does it cost?

There is a £10 entry fee for each team entered, this covers the whole season.  This will go towards the prizes and club funds.

How does it work?

Each player is assigned a value, in millions of pounds.  Participants in SACC Fantasy League must choose 11 players up to a MAXIMUM value of £85 million from the list of players available by clicking here .  Every Saturday any player selected for a Hampshire or Southern league side can score points for their managers' teams through batting, bowling and fielding achievements.

Players are sorted into 4 categories: Batsmen, Bowlers, Young Stars and Wicket Keepers.  Teams must consist of AT LEAST 2 Young Stars, AT LEAST 1 Wicket Keeper, AT LEAST 3 Batsmen (max. 5), AT LEAST 3 Bowlers (max. 5).

• A Hampshire Cricket League or SEPCL appearance scores 5 points

CATCHING POINTS (all players except 'keepers)

Are transfers allowed?

Not normally, no!  Choose your team very carefully!  However, to cater for players dropping out before they have played any games the following rule has been added: You may swap a player at any time for a player of the same or lesser value provided your original player has not scored any points on the fantasy league. Your team must still meet the minimum players requirement from each category.
