Game Guidelines

A few rules-of-thumb to keep the game fun and fair:

Lock your XI: your team will only enter the competition once your XI is submitted.
No exploits: don’t attempt to abuse UI or endpoints to gain unfair advantage.
Be respectful: team names and user content must stay reasonable (no hate, harassment, or illegal content).
Expect balance changes: simulation tuning may adjust outcomes, archetypes, and awards.
Public by default: teams, ladders, fixtures, and results are visible to everyone.
Tie-break rule: if a match ends with both teams scoring the same number of runs the team that lost fewer wickets is declared the winner. If runs and wickets are equal, a deterministic tie-break system is applied to ensure a fair and consistent result.
Favorites & Rankings: T20Sim displays “Favorites” and "Rankings" percentages within competitions to indicate modelled team strength based on performance data. These percentages are not betting odds and are not connected to gambling in any way. They are purely statistical indicators designed to highlight competitive balance and team form.
