Playing a contest
How a Hero11 cricket contest goes, from list to lock
Work down the list: role, recent form, pitch, toss, size of the room, then the captain.
Leave the room if the final XI is still hidden at lock. Guessing the late news is a fast way to waste the fee.
Steps on matchday
- Choose a match you already follow.
- Write a short list of safe roles before the toss.
- When the XI lands, drop the names that are out.
- Mark a captain who will be involved.
- Enter a room whose fee and risk you accept.
