Fantasy cricket for your club

Your scorecards already know who's good.

No spreadsheets, no Saturday-night scoring, no arguing over what the 2nd XI opener is worth. We build the league from your Play-Cricket scorecards and keep score all season.

Free for up to 22 members.

Your 4th XI keeper counts.

What would it raise for your club?

Everyone who'd pick a team: players, parents, whoever does the teas.

Most clubs charge a fiver or a tenner. Put 0 if you'd run it free.

Questions clubs actually ask.

Yes. The league is built from your Play-Cricket scorecards and scored from them, so there's no manual scoring. Your club needs a key from the ECB to let us read them; we'll write the email asking for one. How it works.

One sitting. Reading your scorecards takes a few minutes, then you check what we found and open it.

Anything, any time: a player's team, role or price, the rules, the points.

Every match on your club's Play-Cricket site, league, cup or friendly, once its scorecard is in.

Points come in when the scorecard does. A late card still counts, and a corrected one replaces the old figures.

You can show them by first name and initial. Under-13s only ever appear as an initial and surname.

Ask your league's admin for the link, or type their join code in at the top of this page.

Nobody's turned away. Anyone else who joins goes on a waiting list and we tell you. Take the Club plan and they all go straight in, with nothing for them to do.

Yes, all of it, until your third gameweek locks or for 14 days after you pay, whichever is later. Refund it yourself in your league's Admin, under Plan.

No. Your picks, scores and league are never visible to other clubs. The privacy policy has the detail.

No. We only ever read from it. Play-Cricket stays your official record; this is the competition alongside it.

Sign your club up before the season starts.

Free to start, and no card needed.
