How it works.

From reading your scorecards to the Hall of Fame.

Setting up your league.

You'll need your club's Play-Cricket key from the ECB. We'll write the email asking for one, so ask in the winter: the ECB takes its time.

  1. 1

    We read your scorecards

    Four seasons of them, while you pick the league's name and colours. Watch your club's runs, wickets and top scorers add up.

    Reading your scorecards: 99 of 160 read, with the club's players, teams, runs, wickets and catches adding up as it goes Reading your scorecards: 99 of 160 read, with the club's players, teams, runs, wickets and catches adding up as it goes

    Check your players

    Everyone's in their usual team with a role and a price. Keeper down as a bowler? Move them.

    Check the rules

    Each comes with the reason, in your club's own numbers, and you have the final say.

    How the league will work: Squad mode, up to 4 from each team, because the club plays seven sides; role minimums from the club's regulars How the league will work: Squad mode, up to 4 from each team, because the club plays seven sides; role minimums from the club's regulars

    Scored like cricket

    Fifties, five-fors, stumpings and golden ducks, each worth what your league decides. Think a duck should hurt more? Change the value.

Hall of Fame

The best performances go in the book, and whoever finished ninth starts explaining what went wrong.

The Honours board: each award with its holder in gold, Run Machine, Top of the Attack, Big Hitter and the rest The Honours board: each award with its holder in gold, Run Machine, Top of the Attack, Big Hitter and the rest

What a gameweek looks like.

Pick an XI before the deadline. Once the scorer's done, the points come in and the table moves.

When the women's 2nd XI keeper scores a gritty fifty to win the week, you'll want her in your side.
