Sweet Cricket Association - Sweet CA
​

You are invited to join the Sweet Cricket Association - BigFooty's new premier fantasy cricket league. The successor to the BigFooty Fantasy Cricket League, the inaugural First-Class Sweet CA Season 01 is set to commence in late 2024 / early 2025.

The league, including team names and grounds, will be set in and around the Municipality of Sweet, sharing the lands and grounds of the Sweet FA. The Sweet CA is to be a pathway to the wider world of Qooty for new posters, a place for budding leaders to showcase potential, an off-season activity for qootballers needing a sim fix, or simply for those of us who just love or miss a little simulated cricket.

The 24 hour period rule can be waived, only if the team does not have enough eligible players to fill the team and less than 24 hours remains until the team sheet deadline.

Note 2: Squad rules apply.

Hold up - how does this thing work?
For those experienced with the Sweet FA, it is the same concept - just with a cricket sim!

For those still scratching their heads, the Sweet CA is a simulated fantasy cricket league where the league and teams are made up of BigFooty posters. The league will have seasons, rules, clubs, captains, fixtures, ladders, stats and history - what fun!

Each round, match threads are created where posters of the two teams (and visitors) engage with one another. The cricket simulator creates and spits out commentary and statistics which are posted in the match threads.

The sim has different batting and bowling averages for different player types to reflect real cricket. It's test cricket so list management is required. If a team has to play 5 all-rounders... there's a risk the team will not score enough runs or take enough wickets. It is suggested that any given match line up of 11 would have 4-5 pure batters, 1 x wicketkeeper, 1-2 x all-rounders and 3-5 pure bowlers (depending on form and pitch type)
