Fantasy Byte: Try it out now

Although could there be more points for boundaries in T20s?

It will be configurable and up to the FC staff to decide. If you ask me, I'd set them as highest points in Test matches and lowest in T20Is since the frequency of those will vary based on the format being played.

Once a match has been scored, alert all the users who signed up for the series.

Spoiler: Ctrl + Z

Do we need more people to help score competitions? The Pak v England hasn't been updated for a week or subs opened?

Next up: Dispensing vCash

I initially thought of making this aspect fully automated which would kick in after scoring of the final game of the series, but then decided against it so as to allow unscoring of the final game as well should there be any mistake. So once all games have been scored, a button would appear on the UI which will transfer the vCash to the top 3 users (tied points are also taken care of)

Spoiler: Did you make it to the top?

The multiplier to decide vCash amount will be configurable via the ACP depending on the format of the series. In the demo above, it was x1000 for 1st place, x500 for 2nd place and x250 for 3rd place.

PS: The staff member that clicks on this button need not worry about having the required amount of vCash in his account as this amount will be taken from the system and not user's profile.

We now move to player replacements - another one of the popular requests.

This will allow the FC staff to add players to the squad should any original player get injured and a replacement is announced. The demo below shows how A.Rahane is added to the squad at a later stage (i.e, once setup is completed and series is open for registrations).

Spoiler: Injured? No problemo

The use case shown above is for someone who hasn't registered yet and thus can take advantage of the replacement. The next step would be to allow the already registered users to do the same thereby making it fair for everyone irrespective of when they registered their team.

PS: The system will allow replacements only until the time the series is open for registration. Once the 1st match of the series is underway, replacements will be disabled. It becomes a bit messy if it's allowed past that, but we can revisit this later depending on how popular the preference is.

Here's how someone who has already registered for a series can make use of the replacement feature.

So in this case, a user is replacing Rohit Sharma with the replacement (Ajinkya Rahane) added by the fantasy staff.

With this step, I believe I've completed the lifecycle of a series which includes setting it up, user registration, subs and replacements, scoring a match, unscoring a match and finally awarding winners.

When it will be launched bro ?

No definite date at the moment. It still has to be beta tested for which I will need Matt's help to set up a testing site.

Moving onto permissions now.

Spoiler: Can you do it?

After a match is scored, a post is automatically created in the series thread with the standings injected as content of the post. No more copy-pasting stuff from one place to another.



This also takes care of the issue plaguing the current system where username changes are not reflected in the standings as the addon uses XF's inbuilt user entity to retrieve the info.
