How to play
Three choices shape the way your league plays. Choose how squads are built, how the champion is decided and how performances score. Skippr handles the season around those choices.
Step 1 of 3
This is the main event before the season begins. Compare the three ways managers can build their teams; each rewards a different kind of preparation.
Managers nominate players and bid from a fixed purse in a shared live room.
Managers take turns selecting players. In a snake draft, the pick order reverses every round.
Every player has a price and each manager builds a legal squad within the same budget.
Step 2 of 3
Squad building and standings are separate choices. An auction league, for example, can use either weekly rivalry or one running leaderboard.
Skippr creates weekly fixtures. Beat your opponent's fantasy score to earn the win and climb the table.
There are no weekly opponents. Every completed gameweek score adds to one season-long leaderboard.
Step 3 of 3
Both systems reward the same core cricket actions. Choose Skippr's match-aware system or fixed published bands.
Strike-rate and economy adjustments respond to the match being played, judging efficiency in context.
Strike-rate and economy adjustments use fixed, published workload and performance bands.
One innings, two methods
That is a strike rate of 200. The core run and boundary points are identical; only the efficiency adjustment differs.
Skippr compares 200 SR with the pace of that innings and match, so its value changes with the conditions.
The published 25+ balls and 200+ SR band awards a fixed +70 efficiency points.
Your league's Rules page always shows the exact scoring system and thresholds in use.
Make a tactical call
Skippr Picks are tactical plays you attach to eligible starters before the gameweek locks. Each has a published outcome or effect, plus any reward and risk.
Skippr Picks are tactical plays you attach to eligible starters before the gameweek locks. Each has a published outcome or effect, plus any reward and risk.
Think of them as a chance to back a particular kind of performance—such as an explosive innings or a controlled bowling spell—or use another enabled lineup effect.
Select from the options enabled for your league.
Assign it to an eligible player in your starting lineup before lock.
Skippr applies its published effect; outcome-based picks may reward success or penalise failure.
Each league's preset or setup determines which picks are available and their usage limits. Exact conditions, rewards and penalties appear on the league's Rules page.

A league's exact roster, ownership, budget, scoring and tie-break settings always appear on its own Rules page.

Yes, where staff have enabled later starting gameweeks. The creation wizard shows the first match and lock deadline for each available start.
Salary-cap leagues allow overlapping ownership. Auction and Draft leagues use the player-copy setting chosen for that league, while one manager can never own the same player twice.
The league's gameweek schedule defines the lock. The relevant time is shown in Skippr using your profile timezone wherever possible.
Core creation choices are snapshotted when the league is created so the season and its history remain consistent. Exceptional commissioner actions are restricted and audited.
The draft state is saved after every action. If a manager misses the pick clock, Skippr can use their queue and then an eligible autopick so the room continues safely.
