Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a fantasy 11 and a tournament bracket on WinCome Sports?
A fantasy 11 is a single contest. A tournament bracket is a ladder of fantasy 11 contests connected across a tournament window. The captain-pick calibration applies to both, but the tournament bracket rewards consistency across multiple matches, not single-match variance.
How are fantasy 11 winners decided?
Winners are decided by the same scoring engine that scores the bracket in real time. The top 30% of every fantasy 11 contest win a share of the prize pool. The exact split is published on the contest page before entries open.
Fantasy 11 is the entry point for most WinCome Sports players. The 11-player format is the format most fantasy players are familiar with, and the win bracket ladder is calibrated to reward consistent captain picks across a tournament window. The next contest opens inside 4 hours — your first fantasy 11 is 7 minutes away.

Win Bracket Field Notes
A complete guide to the WinCome Sports fantasy 11 format
The WinCome Sports fantasy 11 format has 4 rules that every player should know. The 4 rules cover the team size, the credit budget, the captain pick, and the win bracket cut-off. The 4 rules are designed to make fantasy 11 accessible to every player, regardless of skill level. Rule 1 is the team size. A fantasy 11 team has 11 players. The 11 players are selected from a pool of 22 players (the two teams in the match). The team must include at least one player from each team in the match. The team can include any combination of batsmen, bowlers, all-rounders, and wicket-keepers. Rule 2 is the credit budget. The fantasy 11 team has a credit budget of 100 credits. Each player in the pool has a credit value based on their recent form and historical performance. The team must be built within the 100-credit budget. The credit budget helps force the player to make trade-offs: picking all the top players would exceed the budget. Rule 3 is the captain pick. The fantasy 11 team has 1 captain and 1 vice-captain. The captain scores 2x the regular points. The vice-captain scores 1.5x the regular points. The captain pick is the most important decision in fantasy 11: the right captain is worth 30-40% of the expected value. The captain-pick calibration model publishes its recommendations 4 hours before the toss. Rule 4 is the win bracket cut-off. The top 30% of every fantasy 11 contest win a share of the prize pool. The exact split is published on the contest page before entries open. The top 30% win the most, the top 5% win more, the top 1% wins the most.
