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 compared to past seasons... GameDay Squad AUS Cricket will be a Round by Round Fantasy Sports competition, GameDay Squad AUS Cricket will become a round based fantasy sport on the platform, similar to how Aussie Rules, Rugby League and Basketball operate.

To explain round by round fantasy sports further, here's an example: Round 1:

1	15/12/24	Perth Scorchers	Melbourne Stars
1	16/12/24	Sydney Sixers	Melbourne Renegades

At the end of Round 1 one, scores will be calculated, leaderboards will be finalised and the lockout will be lifted in preparation for the next round. Round 2:

Round Number	Date	Team 1	Team 2
2	20/12/24	Adelaide Strikers	Melbourne Stars
2	21/12/24	Hobart Hurricanes	Perth Scorchers

AUS Cricket fantasy sports game will have four different public competitions. Users will be able to submit teams for all four competitions available on the GameDay Squad fantasy sports platform. Click "My Squad" to find the competitions dashboard with all four competitions on the screen and enter your desired competition by selecting "Enter".

Starter Competition: $5.5 million salary cap The Starter Competition (New to 2024) allows coaches to go head-to-head against each other with only Bronze player cards! The $11 million salary cap is the most restrictive of all competitions available on the GameDay Squad platform, where only Bronze player cards go head-to-head!

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. Should coaches go all-in on a few Diamond Player Cards, surrounded by mostly Bronze Player Cards? Or should they opt for a balanced team primarily made up of Silver and Gold Player Cards? The winning approach will likely vary each week, making this a truly distinctive version of fantasy sports.

Challenger Competition: $8.5 million salary cap With a little bit more wiggle room in Salary Cap compared to the Classic Competition, the Challenger Competition offers a brand new challenge for coaches! Will coaches opt to use their Salary Cap toward Diamond and Platinum cards or will the higher tier cards make way for more Gold and Silver cards? So many different tactics can be applied, making the outcomes so diverse.

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.

It is important to note that inactive players under no circumstance score points. Even if a player is playing, but not yet active on the GameDay Squad fantasy sports platform. All inactive players score ZERO points.
