·           None: Not calculated

·           Points for runs and wickets - (Total Runs * points for run) + (Total Wickets * points for wicket)

·           Points for runs and wickets added to match points - as above, match points are also added

·           Runs For / Wickets Lost - self explanatory

·           (Runs For / Wickets Lost) / (Runs Against / Wickets Taken) - self explanatory

·           (Runs For / Overs Faced) - (Runs Against / Overs Bowled) - This is a NET RUN RATE type percentage calculation

·           Points for runs and wickets (2nd Inn) - as above but for 2nd innings runs and wickets only

·           Points for runs and wickets added to match points (2nd Inn) - as above but for 2nd innings runs and wickets only

·           Custom bonus points added to match points - Bonus points can be further customised to account for schemes where points are awarded for reaching certain batting and bowling targets. For example 1 point runs > 180, 2 points for runs > 250 etc. For this setting contact MyCricket support.

Grade Structure

This feature allows multiple ladders to be created in a grade (e.g. Two day ladder & One day ladder). The names for these can be created in the Pool Names/Ladder Headings section. The settings are:

§         Not Applicable - No special grade structure

§         Separate Ladder Pools - Each grade is divided into pools with team members set using the "Maintain Team Settings" screen for the given season. This allows the grade to be divided into "Group A", "Group B" etc with separate ladders for each.

§         Separate 1Day/2Day Ladders - Two ladders are reported for the grade, the first is the overall ladder for all matches in the grade and the 2nd is just for the 1-day matches only.

§         1Day/2Day Ladders with Pools - Similar to above but with the option of also splitting teams into pools so ladders are reported separately for 1 and 2 day matches and pool ladders are also reported separately.

Allow Clubs To Edit Draws And Ladders

This allows clubs access to change draws and ladders. This is only for competitions associations do not manage or entry of historical data.

Match Type

The format of each match in the grade
