General
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.
