PCC Players, Values and last years Scores>
Welcome to the third season of Potterne Cricket Club Fantasy Cricket League. Last year, Rikki Jackson’s teams Humphrey’s Heroes claimed the league title for a second season running, amassing 4522 points and taking home a winners cheque of £81. Has anyone got what it takes to end Rikki’s domination of the PCC FCL?
If you have ever seen Fantasy Leagues run by national newspapers you will know the basis behind this idea, but there is a twist. Instead if pinning your hopes on the likes of Flintoff and Pieterson to amass your points, our version lets you select PCC members instead, and their performances throughout the season will dictate how well (or poorly!) your team does. CASH PRIZES will be awarded to the teams that finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and a trophy will be awarded to the winner at the end of season dinner, read on for more details.
The format is simple. Each playing member of PCC is allocated a value of between £400 and £1000 based on their performances in league games last season. Your task is to select a team of 7 players not exceeding the total budget of £5000, which you think over the course of the season will perform better than all other teams selected. Each team costs £5 to enter, or for £10 you can select 3 teams, buy 2 get 1 free!
Points are awarded as follows:-
| BATTING | |
| Per run | 1 point |
| Fifty bonus | 20 points |
| One hundred bonus | 50 points |
| Duck | -20 points |
| Not Out | 10 points |
| BOWLING | |
| Wicket | 20 points |
| 5 wicket bonus | 20 points |
| Hattrick | 50 points* |
| Wicketless (3 overs bowled) | -20 points |
| Maiden | 5 points* |
| OTHER | |
| Appearance | 10 points |
| Catch | 10 points |
| Stumping | 20 points |
Following each game, points will be calculated and a league table will be posted on the clubs website at www.potternecc.org.uk. In a change to the rules, this year’s competition will also include all cup and friendly games played, as well as the Saturday league game however will not include pre-season friendlies, entries close 3rd May 2pm. You will find a table of all PCC playing members here with their value and their performances from last season. Use this and any other knowledge you can glean to pick your team of “world beaters” (bribing captains strictly not allowed)! Should the club gain any further players before the start of the season, these will be added to the list which will be mailed to you in the future.
The winner along with 2nd and 3rd place will receive cash prizes, the value of which will be dependant on the number of teams that enter. Half of the money raised from entry fees will go towards club funds. The other half will be split between the top 3 finishers. Last years winner claimed £81 (60%), 2nd won £40.50 (30%) and 3rd place took £13.50 (10%). The more teams that enter the bigger the prize (and the more the club benefits) so please tell your friends and let’s make this a real success. Remember each team costs £5, but in purchasing a second team you get a third free.
