Here’s how you get started:

• Register on LeagueX and pick your sport.
• Create Your squad of 11 players including Captain and Vice-Captain for the match you want to join by using an allocated budget of 100 Cr.
• Participate in any free or cash league on LeagueX to win cash and prove yourself as a skilled player! Cash leagues let you win cash and require an entry fee which you can pay via your credit or debit card, net banking or PayTM.
• Once the real match starts, you can follow the live match. The actual performance of the players you select determine the points earned by your squad, so pick wisely! Final points, winners, and ranks are declared after the match gets over.

How do I create my LeagueX Squad?

You can select a maximum of 7 players from any side, and the remaining need to belong to the other side.

I spent all of the allocated budget before selecting all 11 players. How do I complete my squad now?

This is the tricky part. What you can do now is to re-pick the players who have lesser credits assigned to them and come up with a combination of players of higher and lesser credits which can be in your squad for 100 Cr or under.

What is the Captain’s role in the squad?

The player that you choose to be your squad’s Captain earn 2 times the points for his performance and similarly, the Vice-captain earns 1.5 times the points. So let’s hope you picked a good one!

Notes:

If the real match ends up in a win to either squad or a tie(but not a ‘no result’ definitely) even if it’s not played to its completion, LeagueX will announce the results of the fantasy match according to the accumulated scorecard points. However, there are a few exceptions to this where in a result of a squad is a consequence of:

• Super Over or Bowl Out,
• Coin toss,
• Prior results or relative standings of the squads in the competition, or
• Any approach other than the ones foreseen by the official score revision rules(e.g. Duckworth Lewis Stern), related to matched affected by weather in the particular competition.

Where a fantasy match is cancelled for the reasons above or any other reasons, the entry fee of all participants for that specific match will be refunded in its entirety

What happens if a test match is a draw?

If the real test match is declared as a draw with neither squad completing a single inning, the fantasy match will be cancelled and your entry fee will be refunded. Or if the test match is declared as a draw with either squad(and not necessarily both) doesn’t complete a single inning, the fantasy match will be considered to have completed and the entry fee will not be refunded in this case. To make things clear, an innings will be considered to be completed if a batting squad either declares or get bowled out(loses all ten wickets) in such innings.
