Scoring details:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18RcFiJU_NyvP3P0rv_wslPvFdDLZ6TjxRWYdUf1URD8/edit#gid=1863631625This is a scoring sheet from a game last season between Boycotts Bashers v Makhayas Misfits. For new players this year (and a reminder for others) hopefully it will give an idea of how things work.
Matchweek XIs will comprise of the first eleven players (from top to bottom) who play any part in their counties game that week. Those that do no play are rather boringly denoted as DNP.
Team scores are calculated by dividing the number of runs your eleven players make between them by the number of wickets taken by your opposition. This will give you your Runs per Wicket (RPW) total.
Wickets taken by bowlers count as one, with dismissals taken by wicket-keepers counting as half. The team with the highest RPW total will win the match and take the 16 points. If the totals are level (highly unlikely unless it is nil-nil after a washout) the match will be drawn and teams will take 3 points each, with 8 bonus points added, to give a Matchweek total of 11.
From the example you will see that the Bashers wickets taken total is 13 made up by 9 wickets for the bowlers and 8 dismissals (4 points) for the wicket keepers.
Bonus points have been altered this year.
Teams that win matches will be able to take their weekly points total up to a maximum of 24 points with impressive performances with both bat and ball:
4 points will be earned for scoring 600 runs or more.
3 points will be earned for scoring between 500 & 599 runs.
2 points will be earned for scoring between 400 & 499 runs.
1 point will be earned for scoring between 300 & 399 runs.
4 points will be earned for taking 30 wickets or more.
3 points will be earned for taking between 25 & 29 wickets.
2 points will be earned for taking between 20 & 24 wickets.
1 point will be earned for taking between 15 & 19 wickets.
From the example you will see that the Bashers scored 26.18 RPW, and took 0 batting points but 2 bowling points. The Misfits scored 39.38 RPW, and took 3 batting points plus 1 bowling point.
The Misfits therefore won the match by 20 points (16 + 4) to 2 (0 + 2)
Over the course of the 18 Matchweek season the team with the most points overall will win CFM 2015.
