How GoPlay11 Points System Works (Explained in Simple Words)

You picked a great team, watched the match, and then… your points didn’t match your expectations.

Why?

Because the GoPlay11 points system has specific rules for every action — runs, wickets, catches, and even strike rate.

In this guide, we will explain the GoPlay11 points system in simple words, so you can build smarter teams.

The Basics: How Points Are Earned

Every player earns points based on their performance in the real match. The main categories are:

1. Batting points
2. Bowling points
3. Fielding points
4. Bonus points
5. Multiplier (Captain/Vice-Captain)

Let’s break down each one.

1. Batting Points

Action	Points
Run scored	+1
Boundary (4)	+1 (total 5)
Six (6)	+2 (total 8)
Half-century (50)	+8
Century (100)	+16
Duck (out for 0)	-2

Example:
If a batsman scores 60 runs with 5 fours and 2 sixes:

• 60 runs = 60 points
• 5 fours = +5 points
• 2 sixes = +4 points
• Half-century bonus = +8 points
• Total = 77 points

2. Bowling Points

Action	Points
Wicket (excluding run-out)	+25
Bonus for 3 wickets	+4
Bonus for 4 wickets	+8
Bonus for 5 wickets	+12
Maiden over	+12
Dot ball	+1

Example:
If a bowler takes 3 wickets in 4 overs with 10 dot balls:

• 3 wickets = 75 points
• 3-wicket bonus = +4 points
• 10 dot balls = +10 points
• Total = 89 points

3. Fielding Points

Action	Points
Catch	+8
3-catch bonus	+4
Stumping	+12
Run-out (direct)	+12
Run-out (thrower)	+6

Example:
A wicketkeeper who takes 2 catches and 1 stumping:

• 2 catches = 16 points
• 1 stumping = 12 points
• Total = 28 points

4. Bonus Points

Bonus points are awarded for exceptional performances:

Action	Points
Strike rate (min 10 balls) above 170	+6
Strike rate 150-170	+4
Economy rate below 5 (min 2 overs)	+6
Economy rate 5-6	+4

Note: Bonus points vary by match type (T20, ODI, Test).

5. Captain & Vice-Captain Multiplier

Role	Multiplier
Captain	2x
Vice-Captain	1.5x
Other players	1x

Example:
If your captain scores 50 points normally, he gets 100 points.
