8. User has to tag one among the 11 players as a star player (This is done by selecting the star
button just beside the points text box. Only one player can be tagged as a star player out of the
super XI team)
9. If the selected Star player is not the ‘Man of the match’ total returns on that player will be
doubled.
10. If selected star player turns out to be ‘Man of the match’ total returns on that player will be
tripled.
11. Man of the Match(MOM) will be considered based on the player chosen by the match
officials(ICC Commentary Panel) for that match.(this is not the Most valuable player shown in
Doosra)
12. If the selected Player/ Star Player is not in the user selected team, returns will be equal to
points invested on that player.
13. Once the super 11 team is submitted successfully for the match, user cannot change the team
anymore.
14. Points gained by the User, on every player is equal to Points entered on the player multiplied
by the points earned by the respective player (based on the player performance).
Points Gained on each player = (Points Entered * Points Earned). Points Earned by the player is
detailed in points conversion logic section below.
15. Points placed on the star player are also multiplied by the points earned by the player (based
on the player performance) and the final value is calculated as follows as the player is a tagged
as a star player.
 If selected player is not MOM, then final value would be doubled.
o Points Gained On Star Player = (Points Entered * Points Earned * 2).
 If selected player is MOM, then final value would be tripled.
o Points Gained On Star Player = (Points Entered * Points Earned * 3).
Points Earned by the player is detailed in points conversion logic section below
Note: If at all, player does not earn any points for a particular match, then Points Gained =
Points Entered.
16. The Sum of all points gained by the user for the matches played so far will be considered for
Super XI ranking.
17. Super XI selection for a particular match freezes 30 minutes before the match begins.
18. User can also play matches for next two consecutive days.
19. Any match which is termed as abandoned by ICC will not be taken into consideration. None of
the above points calculation will be applicable in this case. The user will get back the points
that have been invested on the player/team. This is applicable to both Super 11 and My Team.
POINT CONVERSION LOGIC
BATTING
For every run scored: 1 Point
On reaching 25 runs : 10 Bonus Points
BOWLING
For every wicket : 25 Points
On taking 3 wickets : 40 Bonus Points
On taking 5 wickets: 80 Bonus Points
FIELDING (SAME RULES WILL APPLY TO WICKET KEEPING)

Catch: 15 Points
Stumping: 20 Points
Run out : 20 Points
Example: If a user has entered 300 points on player one. If this player scores a century and
takes a catch and a wicket the points earned by the player are as follows….
For batting he earns 180 points (100 points for century and 80 bonus points for scoring a
century)
For taking wicket he earns 25 points.
For catch taken he earns 15 points.
Total points earned by the player is 220. So Points gained by the user on this player is Points
entered * Points Gained = 300 * 220 = 66000.
If this player is tagged as a star player and if he is not MOM, then his final value is doubled. So
it will become 66000*2 = 132000.
If this player is tagged as a star player and if he is MOM, then his final value is tripled. So it will
become 66000*3 = 198000.
My Team Rules
1. Each player starts with 10000 credits.

2. Note: You will earn 1000 bonus points on every first login TO “MY TEAM” each day.
3. Each fixture will have a predetermined set of odds* (chances of a playing team winning) based
on which the returns are determined.
4. The lower the odds of a team winning a particular fixture, the higher your returns will be and
vice versa. If the team you have placed your credits is lost, you lose all the points placed
5. Returns from a fixture will be doubled if you place more than 50% of your credits in hand
6. Returns from a fixture will be quadrupled if you place all of your credits in hand
7. My Team selection for a particular match freezes 30 minutes before the match begins.
8. Once betting for My Team is submitted successfully for the match, user cannot change
anymore.
9. For matches on weekends My Team can be selected on Friday of that week.
Example: If a user has 7000 points in hand and he bets for India (odds 5/7) vs Bangladesh
(odds 2/7) match.
If he places all 7000 credits on India and if India wins the match the points gained will be as
follows…
Points Gained = Points Entered * (1 minus Odds on the team) = 7000 * 2/7 = 2000
Since all the points are entered on India the above value is quadrupled. Therefore Points
Gained = 2000*4 = 8000.
This value is added to the points entered on the team, so the final points user gets after the
match is 7000 + 8000 = 15000
