How to Play
Rugby
Creating your team
Every Rugby team you build on Dream11 has to have 7 players, of which a maximum of 6 players can be from any one team playing the real-life match.
Player Combinations
Your Dream11 Rugby Team can have different combinations of players, but has to be within the 100 credit cap and must qualify the following team selection criteria:
| Player Type | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Forward | 1 | 6 |
| Back | 1 | 6 |
Captain and Vice-Captain Points
Once you have selected your 7 players, you will have to assign a captain and vice-captain for your team.
The captain will give you 2x points.
The vice-captain will give you 1.5x points.
The Captained By (% C By) and Vice-Captained By (% VC By) stats help you understand how other players have chosen their teams.
Choose a popular pick as captain, or find a differential to score big against your competition.

Other Important Points
-
Penalty Try is awarded between the goalposts when foul play by the opposing team prevents a probable try from being scored, or from being scored in a more favorable position. When a penalty try is awarded, the team automatically receives the points for both the try and the conversion, without the need for a kick.
-
The player who scores the Try is not necessarily the one who takes the conversion kick. No additional points are awarded if the conversion attempt is unsuccessful.
-
Drop Goal can be taken either in the course of open play or after a penalty has been awarded.
-
If a Try immediately happens after scrum/maul/ruck, it will not be considered an Assist.
-
An Offload can also result in an Assist, in which case points are awarded for both the offload and the assist. The Assist is credited to the player who made the pass.
-
During a Tackle, points are awarded to the player who successfully brings the ball carrier to the ground.
-
A Substitute is awarded points only once they enter the field and actively participate in the match.
-
Any event during extra time will be considered for awarding points.
-
Once a match has been marked as completed and winners have been declared, no further adjustments will be made to the points awarded. Points awarded for a LIVE game will be subject to change only when the match status is “In Progress” or “In Review”.
-
In the starting 7 - If a player is announced in the starting seven of a team but later cannot play the match, they will not score any points. The player who plays as the replacement, however, will earn points for the match (including starting points).
-
A player who has not participated in the game as part of the starting 7 or as a substitute will not be awarded negative points for receiving yellow/red cards for off-field activities.
