Cricket league management
Run seasons end to end — teams, fixtures, standings, officials, and galleries — without juggling WhatsApp groups and Excel.
- Season wizard for club competitions
- Auto-generate round-robin fixtures
- Public league microsite for fans
- Invites for captains, scorers, umpires
Season centre
One hub for fixtures, standings, disputes, sponsors, and galleries. Organizers stop hunting across chats for the latest table.
Fixture generation
Generate balanced schedules for groups and knockouts. Adjust venues and start times without rebuilding the whole season.
Discover & join
Public leagues appear in Discover so new clubs can find competitions in their country and format.
How it works
- Create the league — Choose format, overs, and scoring rules that match your competition.
- Add teams & officials — Invite captains and assign umpires/scorers before the first round.
- Generate fixtures — Publish the schedule and share the public league link.
- Score and update standings — As matches complete, the table and NRR stay accurate for playoffs.
Running a season without a spreadsheet
Most club leagues are administered from a spreadsheet, a group chat, and one person's memory. These are the parts that break, and what to put in place instead.
Decisions to make before the first fixture
- The competition format — round robin, groups plus knockout, or straight knockout. This determines how many fixtures each team gets and how long the season runs.
- The points system, including any bonus points. Publish it before the season, because changing it later is the fastest route to a dispute.
- The tie-breaker order. Net run rate is the usual first separator, but head-to-head is common in smaller competitions.
- Registration and eligibility rules: cut-off dates, guest players, and how many first-team appearances make someone ineligible for the seconds.
- What happens to an abandoned fixture — points shared, replayed, or awarded.
The last two cause the most trouble. A league that has not written down its eligibility rule will eventually have to invent one under pressure, with a title at stake.
During the season
The recurring administrative jobs are fixture changes, availability, officials, and results. Fixture changes are the most disruptive, because a rearranged game affects both clubs' availability and often the umpire appointment as well.
Standings that compute from scored results rather than manual entry remove one whole category of problem: the table cannot drift out of step with the scorebooks, and nobody has to remember to update it on a Sunday night.
Handling disputes
- Log the dispute against the fixture rather than settling it over WhatsApp, so there is a record of what was claimed and decided.
- Establish the facts from the scorebook audit trail before taking positions.
- Apply the published rule, even when the outcome is unpopular. A league that decides case by case loses the ability to decide anything.
- Record the decision and the reason. Next season, someone will ask about the precedent.
End of season
Confirm final standings once every fixture is scored and any dispute is closed, publish promotion and relegation if the structure has it, and archive the season so its records stay queryable. Player and team records from a completed season remain attached to their profiles, which is what makes the second season more useful than the first.
