G’day there,
The Ashes may be one sided, going badly if you are English or Welsh and going great guns if you are Australian but fantasy cricket does not have to end there for 2025. Australia’s domestic T20 cricket tournament is upon us and to take my mind of the beating the Aussie’s are giving my country in test cricket I am running my usual two very small stakes money leagues - Classic and Head-to-Head style (each just £5 GBP to enter) on the Big Bash.
The Head-to-Head style league can have a maximum of 16 teams/entrants. The Classic open style league has no limits on the number of entrants. Shortly before the tournament starts, I will delete any un-paid for teams. Also, the H2H league if getting near to being full I will delete unpaid for teams/entrants to allow a paid entrant to join should someone pay straight away to gazump a person who joined but is tardy in paying.
The Big Bash 2025/26 season lasts just 6 weeks this time around:
Sunday, 14 December 2025 – Sunday, 25 January 2026.
I’ve set up 2 leagues - one is an ‘open’ league where you’re all on a ladder based on your total fantasy points scored. The other is a ‘Head-to-Head’ type league where you play one other team from the league each round and you win, lose or tie. A win is 4 points; a Tie 2 points and a loss 0 points. That decides your position in the league with tie breakers to split teams such as points % (difference between points scored and points scored against you). In the ‘Head-to-Head’ league there are play offs over the final rounds for the teams that make it.
To make it interesting and create a prize for each league winner l take an entry fee of £5 for each league.
People are welcome to join one or both leagues and I hope people will feel £5 GBP is not much at all. All entry fees go back out in the way of prizes - both leagues are ‘Winner Takes All’. The season starts (Round 1) 08:15am, 14th December (GMT) / 4:15pm local time (Perth, Australia). If you’re not in the UK please work out what time that is for your location.
If you don’t know the score regards paying (likely, if your new to my money games) or want a reminder just PM me from here (TFP forum) with your e-mail address and I will send back details. You can partake from anywhere in the world - it’s not an issue.
Best regards,
