Fanzy Fantasy Cricket for IPL is in full swing and Gamers have shown surprise in how the points system works & some have denounced the game saying there are no well defined rules!!
In fact, Scoring Engine in #FanzyCricket is very well defined(with provisions to be unpredictable at times!!) and has worked very well for us across all formats for us for well over a year.
Let us talk about T20 points as it is the season of the IPL.
Batting score:
Total points batsmen can score is 240 + any bonus points. (Information about bonus points here: http://www.fanzy.in/static_pages/how)
Let us take a few examples.
Example 1:
KKR: 120/4(20 overs), RCB: 120/6(20 overs)
For simplicity sake, no extras and every one has strike rate of 100% (exactly 1 run for 1 ball).
Fanzy Score for each batsmen will be exactly same as the runs he scores. (Plus bonus score for Sixes and milestone score) (Because Total Runs is 240 = Total Fanzy Score for Batsmen 240)
Example 2:
MI: 180/3(20 overs), KXIP: 180/1(20 overs)
For simplicity sake, no extras and every one has strike rate of 150% (3 runs in 2 balls) which is the strike rate of both the teams as well.
Now, Fanzy Score for each batsmen will be equal to his Runs/1.5
So if Maxwell scores 45 runs in 30 balls, his Fanzy score will be 45/1.5 = 30 + 5 (milestone bonus)
In the same way if both teams score 240 runs fanzy score will be half the number of runs if player also scores 20 runs in 10 balls.
Now, not every player scores at the same strike rate as the overall match strike rate and this is where things get a little interesting.
Now let us take the 1st example again.
KKR: 120/4(20 overs), RCB: 120/6(20 overs)
If Kohli scores 20 runs in 10 balls, he has scored at 200% strike rate which means he is twice as fast as everyone else so he will get a score of 40 now.
If Kallis scores 10 runs in 20 balls, he has 50% strike rate so his score will be 5.
Finally let's say Rohit Sharma scored 30 runs in 20 balls in two matches given in the examples above.
In the first, bowling pitch with very low scores (KKR: 120/4(20 overs), MI: 120/6(20 overs)), (Extremely good performance compared to everyone else) his Fanzy Score will be around 45.
In 2nd match, batting pitch with high scores (MI: 180/3(20 overs), KXIP: 180/1(20 overs)), (at par performance with everyone else) his Fanzy Score will be around 20.
