Join a League
What is a League?
League is a contest that never locks. i.e. Managers can join in at any point in the tour
All Managers get the same number of transfers and boosters, no matter when they join
Team’s points will be counted from start to end of the tour, no matter when you join
Public League
After saving your team, you will be entered into the Championship League for FREE
Within the Championship League, you’ll be a part of the Weekly and League leaderboards, for which you can win prizes
Private League
Want to compete with your gang? You can also play private leagues with your friends!
Tap ‘Create League’ on the Manager Mode home page and invite them.
Other Important Points:
1. Applying current team to upcoming matches:
Your team will automatically be used for all upcoming matches in succession. You can make changes to your team between matches.
If a match is cancelled, your team will apply to the next scheduled match. If the order of matches changes, your team will apply to whichever match is next unless you update it before the new match start time.
Example: If CHE vs MI is scheduled for 8:00 PM and PBKS vs KKR for 10:00 PM, but CHE vs MI is delayed to 11:00 PM, your saved team will apply to PBKS vs KKR if you don't make changes between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM.
2. Matches starting close to each other or when timings get interchanged:
Should any 2 matches start at the same time (or within 20 minutes of each other), the same team would apply to both matches. So, make transfers accordingly. Any booster applied will be applicable for players of the first match only.
Lineups would only be visible for the players of the first match.
Further to the above, if the first match is then set to start well beyond the second match, the start time of the second match will be reset to the original time and no edits will be permitted to the team after the second match begins. Teams can be edited for the subsequent match after 20 mins of start of the match.
