How many teams can I submit?
The room shows the number. Open the contest and read the figure on that contest before you build a stack of elevens. Some rooms allow one entry. Some allow more than one. The figure printed on the room you are entering is the one that binds you.
The next card on that fixture can print another count. A count you remember from a different product does not bind this card. This site will not invent a count for you. If you cannot see a number, you are not ready to submit a second team. Submitting up to the printed figure is the rule of that room. Going past it is a refusal from the contest, not a quota guessed on this page.
An edit to an eleven you already hold, made before the contest closes, changes that entry in place. The rewrite does not add a fresh eleven, and it does not remove you. Count the elevens already listed under your name before you build another. The printed figure minus that count is the space you have left. If you want a genuinely different eleven, add it only while that space remains. The pick a match page is where you confirm you are even in the right room before that count matters.
What is the difference between captain and vice-captain?
The chair is the player you most expect to have a substantial day, judged by the work this match will actually give them and by whether they take the field. The second title is cover for a thin day from the chair, not another star from the same poster. Set both after the eleven exists and after the bulletin has gone as far as it can. If you cannot name the chair’s job in this match in one line, you do not have a chair yet.
Moving an uncertain well-known batter into the second title does not repair the doubt. Cover should meet a different failure: overs if the chair is a batter who can fall early, and balls faced if the chair is a bowler while the surface has been easy for batting. Two stars who share one job are the same wager written twice.
How the titles are scored is printed on the contest you are joining. This answer does not reprint a factor. A factor remembered from a different product is not the one on your card. Read the card while the names can still move. A title on a player who stays in the dressing room does not rescue the rest of the eleven. The longer note is on the captain page.
Does editing before the lock drop me from the room?
No. A change to a player or either title, made while the room is still open, rewrites the entry you hold. You remain entered. The eleven saved when the room closes is the one that counts.
After the close, changes stop. Commentary that has not begun does not add time. If you needed the announced side before you committed, you needed a room whose timer still left you that wait. The listed start and the contest close are different clocks. Read the second one on the fixture before you spend attention on names. A failed save is not the same event as a closed room. Read the timer before you describe the failure.
Changing your mind while the room is open is ordinary. Make the change on the entry you hold. Do not treat a rewrite as an ejection, and do not enter again until you have read how many elevens that room allows. A separate open card on the same fixture is a new entry, with its own timer and its own seats. It does not revive a card that has already closed.
What if the playing XI drops one of my players?
If the sheet omits one of your picks and the contest has not closed, replace that pick before the timer ends. Recheck the role tabs so the new name still fits the counters. If the omitted player wore a title, move the title onto someone who is on the sheet and who still has a live job. The replacement has to cover the job the omitted player held, not merely the role tab that player sat on.
Once that contest has closed, what you saved is what you keep. You cannot swap, and chat cannot roll the timer backward. If you write in, say that the player was omitted and that the room had already closed. That pair of facts describes a finished entry, not a broken save button.
This is why the chair waits for the announced side whenever the timer allows the wait, and why an uncertain star is a poor chair even when the public knows the name. A closed entry that still contains a player who does not take the field is finished. Build the next one, on a later match, from the sheet rather than from the poster.
Should I pick the captain first?
No. Leave both titles until the eleven is built and you know who is taking the field. They are the final choices inside the second step. The opening step is the fixture: both sides, the ground, the start, the contest timer, and the seats. The middle step is the eleven across the role tabs the screen offers. If the chair is the first name you tap, every later pick bends toward that person’s side.
Choosing the chair before the eleven exists turns the rest of the side into a tribute. You keep names from that side after the counter has started to complain. You skip a surface note, when the app is showing one, because the note does not flatter the name already chosen. If that person is later absent from the announced side, you rebuild during minutes you already spent.
Open the fixture, build the eleven from recent role and the bulletin, then set the two titles. Reputation can wait. A batter people know, whose place is still unconfirmed, is a poor chair however early the name felt obvious. Recent role beats one famous knock on this question as well. One well-known innings does not decide the chair.
How many players can I take from one real team?
Follow the counter on the create-team screen. Loading one real side past that counter should make the save fail. This page will not invent a maximum or a salary. If the screen shows a budget line, fit the eleven under that line. The shape that contest accepts is the shape it will save, and a shape it rejects stops on the button.
A limit learned in a different product is not the limit on this card. When the save is blocked, read which counter moved and which sentence appeared, and repair that. Do not guess a rule from last season. An empty role tab can block a save as well. The labels a sample layout uses are WK, BAT, AR, and BOWL. Follow the counters on the screen you have open. Write down the counter that changed. That counter is the one to repair.
If the message says a required seat is still empty, fill that seat instead of adding another batter from the side you already loaded. Cover both teams unless the counter stops you. Loading one side is not loyalty. It is a shape the contest can reject. The playing 11 page walks the tabs and does not pretend to own the counter.
What is a differential, and when is it a bad idea?
An uncommon pick is someone the rest of that room is less likely to select. In a crowded contest the pick earns a place only when one cricket sentence supports it. The keeper who usually opens is resting, and the replacement has kept through the last three games of this format. Or the death overs have moved to a bowler the crowd still files as a backup, and that bowler bowled the last over of the innings last time. You should be able to say the sentence about the cricket, not about a percentage.
A small selection share, by itself, decides nothing. Leave the uncommon name out when you cannot say the sentence, when you are pasting an eleven you found in a chat and have not compared with this surface, and when the field is short. Against one rival, take players who are in the announced side and whose slot you can name. Beating that one rival does not require a surprise name.
An uncommon name missing from the announced side is an empty place, and after the close you cannot swap it. Being little known does not make the player safer. It makes a miss more likely when the bulletin was skipped. Use the unusual name in a crowded contest, with a job attached, or leave it out. If the name is absent from the sheet, delete it before the close or do not enter.
The sample screenshot shows a timer and player names. Should I copy that team?
No. The names and the countdown in the illustration are there to show the arrangement of a create-team screen. They are not the fixture you are about to open, and they are not an eleven to paste into a room.
The countdown drawn there will not equal the timer on your card. The names will not equal the announced side. Build from the match in front of you, from a surface note when the app prints one, and from the bulletin about who is resting or unconfirmed. Examples of surface wording live on the match page. Your fixture may print a slow surface, a green surface, or no sentence at all. Do not treat the illustration’s sentence as the sentence on every card. Open your own fixture and compare the two side names with the illustration. If the names differ, the illustration has finished its job.
Do not send that illustration to chat and call it your create-team screen. If the save failed, describe your counter, the role label you had open, and the message. The contact page says which facts a reply can use. The illustration on the playing 11 page cannot supply your fixture, your timer, or your block.
