What you'll find on this hub
Treat the rules as one page, not ten.
The team-selection steps article on this page is the single-page version of the rules. Read it once, slowly, with a notebook.
The deadline lineup check page is the second page to read. It covers the small timing rules that catch first-time players.
The captain vice-captain choice page is the third page. Treat the captain as a decision you make after the lineup is locked.
Start with a free-to-play or practice contest.
The format comparison on the homepage is the easiest way to see the differences. The review page holds the longer version.
If you have never played a contest before, do not start with a paid contest. The rules are the same; the only difference is the stake.
LetsGame keeps a current strengths-and-limitations table on the review page with the last-checked date beside each row.
A balanced squad, not a list of stars.
The team-selection steps article on this page walks through a balanced squad: three or four all-rounders, a wicketkeeper, a top-order batter or two, and a rotation of bowlers.
The captain-vice-captain choice page is the next page to read. Treat the captain as a separate decision.
The deadline-lineup check page is the last page to read before lock. It covers the timing rules that catch first-time players.
The four-step debrief.
After the first contest, jot down what surprised you. The notes page holds a printable checklist for the second session.
LetsGame updates the walkthrough after every method change. The last-checked date is on the walkthrough page itself, not just in the change log.
If you have a question we have not answered, the contact page is the right place to write. LetsGame reads every note.
