RS9 APP scores your squad from the real match. The numbers live in the app's table for that match. This page explains how to read the rows. It does not reprint the values.
Open the table for that match
A match card names the format. On the sample fantasy home screen, that label is on the card itself, for example T20. Tables often differ by format, and a contest can use its own table. Open the one linked from the match you joined. A screenshot from another fantasy app, or an older article, is a different table.
How to read one row
A row is an event plus a points figure. Read them as a pair. Three habits stop a wrong total:
- Some rows apply only inside a band, such as a strike-rate band or an economy band. The band is part of the row. A single number for "runs" or "wickets" from outside the app skips it.
- A row can reduce the total. Those rows are in the same table. Do not add every row and assume none subtract.
- If an event is not a row in this table, it does not score in this contest, even when another app pays for it.
What each group is naming
Use the row names in the app. The table below is a reading guide, not a points table. Where a cell says "if listed", that row may be absent. Absence means it is not scored.
| Group | What the row is naming |
|---|---|
| Batting | Runs, fours, sixes, and milestones such as a fifty, if those rows exist. A strike-rate band changes the score for the same innings. A duck, if listed, is its own row and is not the same as "no runs". |
| Bowling | Wickets. Check whether bowled and lbw are separate rows or one row. Maidens, an economy band, and dot balls count only when the table lists them. Do not treat every wicket as the same row. |
| Fielding | Catch, stumping, and run-out are different rows. A direct run-out and an assisted run-out are different again when the table splits them. A catch does not share a value with a stumping unless the table says so. |
| Line-up | Only if the table has a row for the announced squad. That row applies on the terms written next to it. A player who is not in the playing XI does not score match points. |
| Captain | The multiplier is printed when you set captain and vice-captain on the squad screen. Use that figure. Do not bring one across from another app. |
Who receives the points
Only the players in the squad you locked. A captain multiplier, when the contest uses one, applies to that player's total after the table is applied, not instead of it. The squad screen is where the role is shown.
Before the deadline, open the playing XI in the app. A player left out of that XI scores nothing for the match, including when you had already selected them. How to play covers the lock, and the match card is where the format label sits.
