Congratulations to ajaydevil , Juxik , Rishi Raj Sharma and Jivesh batra for making it to the Semis Since it's really tough now , we don't want players to loose just by having one off match. So Semis will be a 3 match battle. You have to win 2 matches to reach the finals. Please pay close attention to all the rules. RULES : 1) You can select any kind of 8 players from any Teams you like from the following matches : You have to make separate Teams for each match. Just consider each match as a separate battle what you have been playing till now. Example of a valid entries can be seen in my next post. Match 1 : 22nd May : Kolkata vs Bangalore 22nd May : Chennai vs Hyderabad Match 2 : 23rd May : Mumbai vs Delhi 23rd May : Punjab vs Rajasthan Match 3 : 24th May : Bangalore vs Chennai 24th May : Kolkata vs Hyderabad 2) In QF's we had 6 , but now you can buy only up to 3 extra players if you want. All additional players will cost you 40 points each. For example you take 2 extra players making a squad of total 10 players ,80 points will be deducted from your final points tally. It's not compulsory to take extra players. 3) You can select 1 substitute player as well which you can use to exchange for any 1 player of your squad of 8/9/10/11 provided that original player doesn't play the actual game or the game is whitewashed without a single ball played. If all your original players play the game , you cannot use your substitute player. It's also not compulsory to use your Sub. 4) You have to enter your Team in your individual battle thread or have a choice to send me by private message. a) If you decide to use the pm option , you cannot post your Team in your battle thread at any stage neither you are allowed to change your Team. Once you send me your team through pm , it's final and cannot change by posting in your battle thread or sending pm again. We will post your Team in your battle thread latest by 3:30 pm on the match day. Time of your pm sent will be treated as time of your entry. b) If you decide to use Battle Thread option , you can keep changing your Team till the deadline by making a new entry in your thread. Your earlier entry will automatically be null and void. You are also not forced to take extra players if you have taken it earlier. Can keep changing the Team anyway you like. 5) Last date and time to enter your Team for Match 1 is 2 pm on 22nd May , Match 2 is 2pm on 23rd May and for Match 3 is 2pm on 24th May. 6) It's not compulsory though but you can choose up to two players twice instead of one. 7) To win , you have to beat your opponent in at least two matches out of three. Player getting more points win that particular match. In case of Tie , player who entered his valid Team ( latest team which qualifies for the points ) first , WINS. 8) In case one of the player doesn't enter his Team at all , other player Wins automatically. In case both the players do not enter their Teams , both are out of the Cup. 9) Please mention the name of the players clearly without leaving any ambiguity. There are certain players with similar names or same names. So in those cases , please mention the Team name as well. In case of any dispute , our decision will be final. 10) If the match goes to Super over , any performance done in super over wouldn't be counted towards the points. 11) Removing the fairplay bonus but will appreciate that players be active in their respective threads. After all , it's your battle and we are just spectators
