Frequently Asked Questions

In the past few days the e-mails we have all been receiving a core group of questions, most of which are available through the documentation that is avaible on the site.

However to make it as little easier we have highlighted some of the more common requests below. Just in case you was thinking the same thing.

Why don't the changes I make between matches become active for the next match on days when more than one match is played?

This is because the competition is in play and games overlap meaning we can't update the points and process changes before the next match starts so the decision was made to close modifications throughout the days play, meaning that you need to decide on your changes before the start of the days play.

On the modification page if the status is green all modifications will be active immediately. If it's red and the status is "This Competition is Open to Modifications but any Modifications made will count as Pending Changes. Please be aware that as mentioned on the FAQ, if there is more than one game in progress on a particular day, once changes turn to Pending (Red), any changes will apply at the conclusion of all matches in progress on that particular day" then any modifications you make will be processed with the last update of the day.

Why can't my friend or I add my team to a User Competition?

The common problem is the code being mistyped - try re-typing. If you are copy/pasting make sure you don't copy the space at the end of the code as this will cause it to fail. If you're still having issues please contact the helpdesk.

Why can't I view my Team and see how many points they have gained?

You can. Simply log into your account and select the "World Cup 2011" competition from "My Current Teams" This is located in the green box just under the left hand menu options.

The 200 transfers available to us, are they just for the Day/Group stage of the game?

No. The 200 modifications are for the whole of the competition, this is to make you think wisely about the players you want to represent you in the competition and for you to have to plan ahead for who you think may progress through to the later rounds. After all while the game is heavily luck based, we want the game to have a degree of skill in it and make it a challenge. So it's up to you as manager to decide the best way to utilize the changes available to you.

James Anderson (example) has sustained an injury, I have transferred him but have been charged with a modification point, why is this when you say you get replacement changes for injuries?

You only receive a replacement change if the player is ruled out of the whole competition. The whole time that the player remains in the squad he has the potential chance to play again so counts as a normal change.

I have made 1 modification but it says I have been charged more than 1 modification why is this?

Don't forget that Captaincy changes count as 10 modifications. This is because the captain who scores double points (and loses double) and is a high influence player in your team as such if you change them they will cost you more.

If I go into modify my team if I change 4 players does this count as 1 modification or is it 4 because I changed 4 players?

It is 4. A modification is a change of player for player and not the action of a modification.

I want to modify my team but it says that the game is still in progress when it finished a few hours ago, why is this?

This is down to the points being updated by a member of staff, and as such time differences come into play with the location of the matches. We aim to update the matches within 1-2 hours of the conclusion of play. Don't forget that you can still make changes to your team but they won't become active until after all the days points have been updated.

Do my bowlers earn points for their batting efforts and batsman for bowling efforts?

Yes everyone earns points for whatever they do within a match situation however unlikely it maybe, so if a wicketkeeper decided to become a bowler for the day he would earn the corresponding points.
