11Tiger points system reference

Run: +1 per run. Boundary bonus: +4 runs. Six bonus: +6 runs. Half-century: +8 points. Century: +16 points. Duck: −2 points (varies by contest).

The boundary and six bonuses compound with the strike-rate multiplier on some contests. On contests without the multiplier, the bonuses still apply but they compound with the strike rate through the points table instead.

Wicket: +25 for bowlers (lower for run-outs). Maiden over: +4. 3-wicket haul: +8 bonus. 5-wicket haul: +16 bonus.

The wicket value is the dominant base on a bowler-friendly deck. A 3-wicket haul bonus compounds the differential pick: a wrist-spinner captain on a small-boundary deck is the deck’s published ceiling play.

Catch: +8 per catch. Stumping: +12 per stumping. Run-out (direct): +12 per run-out. Run-out (assist): +6 per run-out.

Fielding points are low-frequency events but high-impact. A keeper with three stumpings in a fixture is the deck’s published differential pick on a turning deck.

A working checklist for the reader who lands on this page to read the fantasy-cricket points reference. The page is a working note grounded in the platform’s published rule book; the checklist is a quick way to confirm the points reference is current for the contest the reader is about to enter.

Three questions to ask. Is the points reference current with the partner brand’s latest rule update? Are the worked examples from the same contest type the reader is entering? Is the captain multiplier the deck publishes the same as the partner brand’s published multiplier?

What the desk does well. The page covers batting, bowling, fielding and the captain multiplier in one read. The summary table is a four-column quick reference. The worked examples show the points on a real player-score profile.

What the desk is still working on. A reader-side worksheet for the captain-multiplier self-check. A public table of the deck’s measured per-rule miss rate.

A reading cadence the desk recommends. Read the points reference once on a quiet afternoon at the start of the cycle. Re-read whenever the partner brand updates its rule book.

The deck’s miss record on the points reference is retained alongside the hit record. The miss record is the instrument that holds the methodology accountable; removing it on a hit week would be a standards fail.

Three common misses the desk has logged. Forgetting the boundary and six bonuses when scoring a batter. Counting a duck at −2 on a contest where the partner brand publishes −3. Mis-reading a wicket value on a run-out partner credit where the deck credits the bowler and the partner credits the fielder.

The captain and vice-captain multipliers are the second-most common miss. A reader who credits the captain at 2× and the vice-captain at 1.5× but forgets the multipliers on the points table rather than on the totals table ends up short of the partner’s published points.

The bonus chips and milestones are the third-most common miss. A half-century at +8 and a century at +16 compound the points across the contest; the deck publishes the points reference with each compound applied rather than as a single line.

Where the reader’s own points calculation disagrees with the partner’s published points, the partner brand’s published calculation prevails. The reader’s strongest move is to file a customer-care ticket with the partner’s reference number; the deck’s working note on the customer-care page is the working summary.

The points reference on this page is grounded in the partner brand’s published rule book. Where the partner brand updates the rule book, the deck announces the update on the news desk with the effective date. A reader who lands on the page between the partner’s update and the desk’s announcement may see a stale reference; the partner’s update is authoritative from the partner’s effective date.

The points reference does not predict the next fixture’s winner. The points reference is a discipline for reading a player-score profile; the contest decision belongs to the reader.

The points reference’s miss record is published alongside the worked examples on this page. Where the deck’s worked example disagrees with the partner’s published calculation, the partner’s calculation prevails; the desk corrects the worked example on the corrections cadence.

Three caveats the desk publishes on the points-system page. The points reference is grounded in the partner brand’s published rule book; where the partner brand updates the rule book, the deck announces the update on the news desk with the effective date.

The second caveat: the worked player-score examples on this page are editorial. The partner brand’s published calculation is authoritative; the desk’s worked examples are illustrative.

The third caveat: the captain multiplier and the bonus chips compound across the contest. A half-century at +8 and a century at +16 each apply; the deck publishes the compounded values rather than a single line.

A reader who has found a rule-book update the deck has not yet announced is welcome to send the corrections email; the next points-system-page refresh reflects the new caveat.

The four point categories the desk tracks. Batting. Bowling. Fielding. Captain multiplier. The summary table on this page is a four-column quick reference with the worked examples alongside.

The three common misses on points. Forgetting the boundary and six bonuses. Counting a duck at −2 on a contest where the partner brand publishes −3. Mis-reading a wicket value on a run-out partner credit.

The two multipliers the deck works with. Captain at 2× the base total. Vice-captain at 1.5× the base total. The multipliers sit on top of every other points line in the table.

The miss record on points is published alongside the worked examples on this page. Where the deck’s worked example disagrees with the partner’s published calculation, the partner’s calculation prevails; the deck corrects the worked example on the corrections cadence.

The points-system desk closes its read with a note on the worked-player-score examples. Four worked examples are published on this page: a top-order batter, a wrist-spinner, an all-rounder and a wicket-keeper. Each compiles across the partner brand’s published rule book.

The four point categories the desk tracks are batting, bowling, fielding and the captain multiplier. The captain multiplier of 2× and the vice-captain multiplier of 1.5× are the two levers on the points table.

The three common misses the deck has logged are forgetting the boundary and six bonuses when scoring a batter, counting a duck at −2 on a contest where the partner brand publishes −3, and mis-reading a wicket value on a run-out partner credit.

The miss record on points is published alongside the worked examples on this page. Where the deck’s worked example disagrees with the partner’s published calculation, the partner’s calculation prevails; the deck corrects the worked example on the corrections cadence.

The desk’s coverage area is published on the about page. A reader who wants a different area of coverage is welcome to send a corrections email with a proposed coverage-area addition.
