Public Competitions - AUS Cricket

Something for everyone!

In the event of a wash out and subsequently a match being abandoned, prizes assigned to the affected round will be null and void.

While GameDay Aus Cricket will be familiar with experienced GameDay Squad coaches, with all the bells and whistles that make GameDay Squad fantasy sports great still being included in Cricket, the fixtures will be a little bit different this time around... GameDay Squad AUS Cricket will be a Daily Fantasy Sports competition, meaning that every day is a new round and a new challenge for all coaches to prove that they're the best amongst the best fantasy players in the world!

To explain daily fantasy sports further, here's an example: Round 1 - (07/12/2023) Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Stars: Coach's build a team of Heat and Stars players. Rounds reset and winners are determined for the next rounds fixtures. Round 2 - (08/12/2023) Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Renegades: Coaches build a team of Sixers and Renegades players. Rounds reset and winners are determined for the next rounds fixtures and so on as the competition runs!

In 2023, the GameDay Squad AUS Cricket fantasy sports game will have two different public competitions. It is important to note that all users are automatically assigned to a competition once their squad it complete, which competition they are assigned to is governed by the salary cap:

Classic Competition: $6 million salary cap

The Classic Competition puts coaches to the test, challenging them to create a top-performing team each week while staying within the salary cap. This introduces another level of strategy to the game.

Champion Competition: No salary cap restriction

The Champion Competition is a no-limits test of fantasy skill and stands out as the ultimate challenge for coaches. Coaches in this division must leverage all of the Player Cards at their disposal to achieve the highest possible score.

Please ensure you are competing in your preferred competition prior to the first game of any given round. Users who change alter their squads mid round will have scores from earlier in the round count towards the selected competition, for example: If a coach selects his team and competes in the classic league to begin the round and scores 500 points after the Friday night lockout, and then later alters their team to compete in the Champion league the user will have their 500 points from Friday night count towards the Capped league, and the remaining point scored in the round count towards the Champion league. It is important to note that in rounds where two games are being played, users only submit one team made of the four teams available. For example: Round 12: Game 1 - Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Thunder; Game 2 - Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades

Users will be able to submit a full squad using players from any of the teams above for the active round. Under no circumstance will users submit two seperate teams.
