YAHOO FANTASY
(Rules & Regulations)
Team selection
A user may enter only one Yahoo Fantasy team. Every user will be given a budget of $100 million to pick a team of eleven players. The Team must consist of:
- 5 Batsmen
- 4 Bowlers
- 1 Wicket-keeper
- 1 All rounder
The team with the above mentioned combination has to be picked within the allocated budget.
If any player/players from your 11 do not play you lose points of that many players.
Captain
You must nominate a member of your team to be the Captain. Points scored by this player will be doubled on the designated match day.
If your captain does not play then you cannot have a standby captain and you lose the chance to earn bonus points.
You can change your captain at the bottom of the Manage Team page. Any changes you make to your captain will become active at the next deadline.
Transfers
After selecting your team you can still deal in the transfer market. Unlimited team transfers can be made, between each daily deadline.
Any transfers you make will become active at the next deadline.
Deadlines
Any changes to your team (transfers, captain changes) must be made by the daily deadline to take effect for that set of matches on the day.
