Metro Bank One-Day Cup 2026 (CricketXI.com) - £5 Money Leagues

Hey All,

I was not going to do this game as I only discovered game was up 48hrs ago (and was launched on Friday) and it starts today (Tuesday, 11am UK time) but thought what the hell even if only a few people see this in time it a be worth a run.

So as per usual I’ve just set up my 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. 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). Also, in the head-to-head league the top 4 teams will make the finals (and play across the 2 final rounds).

To make a little bit of interest and a prize for the winners’ skill (or luck) I am making both leagues £5 each to enter and both leagues are ‘Winner Takes All’.

People are welcome to join one or both leagues and I hope people will feel £5 is not much at all and give these leagues ago. Please feel free to pass this information on to any one you think might like to join in with us, more the merrier.

The game starts (Round 1) 11:00am (UK time), 21st July (so today - Tuesday). The head-to-head league requires a minimum of 4 entrants (so 3 more other than myself) to run. Also, if we end up an odd number of teams in the Head-to-Head league the site will put one team each round on a bye.

Usual methods for entry payment - if you don’t know what they are (because your new) or have forgotten just PM me from here (the TFP forum) and I will respond with the low down. Also if you have funds on account with me just tell me to use those.
