Blocks

 

Fixtures are divided into ‘Blocks’. There are eight blocks in The Hundred 2024.

 

Blocks typically start on a Monday and Friday, and cover all of the fixtures within that time period.

 

Users can edit their virtual team until the start of the official start time of the first match of a block. In the event for any reason whatsoever, the first match starts later than the scheduled start time, the start time of the match on the Web Portal will remain the same as the original scheduled start time. 

 

Between blocks a user can make an unlimited number of transfers.

You must select 7 men and 7 women in your squad.

 

You will select 11 starting players and three substitutes in your squad.

 

There are no limits as to the number of overseas players you can pick. For the first seven blocks, you are limited to three players per team.

 

You will select a Captain and a Vice Captain for your squad.

Credits Available

 

All of The Hundred players are given a credit score at the outset of the competitions. This credit score will not change throughout the competition and will remain fixed.

 

You have 100 credits to use to select your squad of 14 players. 

 

If a player is replaced in the competition, a new player may be added in their place with a credit score assigned to them.

 

Substitutes

 

The three substitutes will be ordered from Substitute 1 to Substitute 3. This order will decide how they enter the game if a player does not compete within the block. 

 

Ie. If Player X doesn’t play within Block 1, they will be replaced by Substitute 1.

 

Captains and Vice Captains

 

You must choose a Captain and Vice Captain for your squad.

 

A Captain receives double points and a Vice Captain receives 1.5x points.

 

If your Captain or Vice-Captain does not compete within the block, the substitute that replaces them will not receive double or 1.5x points.
