Getting Started

4
What is Cricstars?

Cricstars is a global cricket platform that combines match scoring, player statistics, and social networking. You can score games, manage your team, view your progress, and share cricket highlights — all from one place.

Is Cricstars free to use?

Yes! Cricstars is completely free for players, scorers, and fans. All essential features like match scoring, stats, and team creation are available at no cost.

Who can join Cricstars?

Anyone who loves cricket — whether you're a player, scorer, coach, or fan. You don't need to play professionally; Cricstars is for every level of the game, from backyard to league.

How do I create an account?

Go to cricstars.app and click Sign Up. You can register using your email and basic details. Once done, you'll have your own player dashboard and profile.

Match Scoring

7
How do I start a new match?

From the left menu, select New Match. Enter team names and player lists, conduct the toss, choose batting or bowling, and start scoring ball by ball. Your scorecard updates automatically in real time.

Can I fix a mistake while scoring?

Yes. Use the UNDO option to correct the last action immediately (for example, if you entered the wrong number of runs or wickets). Once the match is finalized and verified, editing is locked to preserve integrity.

What happens after a match ends?

When the final over is bowled, the scorer ends the match and submits the scorecard. Both captains or team managers then verify it. Once approved, the match becomes official and contributes to your statistics and leaderboard ranking.

What does "verified match" mean?

A verified match is one that has been approved by both teams or a tournament admin. Only verified matches appear on leaderboards and count toward career stats.

Does Cricstars work offline?

Cricstars is built for real-time online scoring. You can still score temporarily if your network drops, but you'll need a stable internet connection for saving and syncing results.

What formats does Cricstars support?

You can score and track matches in all major formats:

  • T10 (10 overs)
  • T20 (20 overs)
  • ODI (50 overs)
  • Test or custom formats (as per organizer rules)
What does the "UNDO" button do in scoring?

It reverses your last scoring action (for example, if you added an extra run or marked the wrong bowler). Use it before ending the over or submitting results — it's your safety net for live matches.

Statistics & Teams

5
How are player statistics calculated?

Every run, wicket, and ball bowled is recorded through the Cricstars scoring system. The platform automatically calculates averages, strike rates, economy rates, and milestones based on verified match data.

What are leaderboards?

Leaderboards display top players and teams based on consistent verified performances — like total runs, wickets, and averages. They're updated automatically once new matches are verified.

Can I create or join a team?

Yes. To create a team, go to "My Teams" and fill in your team name, logo, and details. To join, search your team under "Find Teams" and send a join request. Captains can approve or remove members anytime.

Can I manage more than one team?

Yes. You can be part of multiple teams (for example, a local club and a corporate team). Your player stats are automatically tracked across all verified matches, no matter which team you play for.

What are tournaments on Cricstars?

Tournaments let organizers manage multiple matches, fixtures, and points tables in one place. You can view live results, upcoming games, and standings — just like in professional cricket leagues.

Privacy & Security

3
Who owns my match data and stats?

You do. Cricstars simply stores and displays your match data for analytics and recognition. Your stats, photos, and videos remain your property.

How does Cricstars protect my data?

All data is stored securely on encrypted servers with limited access. Your connection is protected with SSL security. Cricstars never sells personal information to third parties.

Can I delete my data or account?

Yes. Go to Settings → Privacy → Delete Account or email support@cricstars.app. Once deleted, personal data is permanently removed, while match data remains anonymously for record integrity.

Social Features

6
What can I post on the Cricstars feed?

Anything cricket-related — match clips, team celebrations, training moments, or thoughts about the game. Keep posts respectful and focused on cricket. Unrelated or offensive content may be removed.

How do hashtags work?

Hashtags like #TeamIndia or #AsiaCup2025 help group posts together. Clicking a hashtag shows all related videos and updates shared by other players.

How do I follow or interact with other players?

You can follow players by tapping the Follow button on their profile. You can like, comment, or share their posts — building your own cricket network.

Can I tag players or teams in posts?

Yes. Use "@username" to tag players and "#hashtags" to reach wider audiences — e.g., #TeamIndia #T20Finals.

How do I upload videos or clips?

When posting on the feed, tap the video icon to upload short clips. Supported formats are MP4 and MOV (under current upload limits). Large or copyrighted files may be rejected.

How do I report inappropriate content?

Click the three dots (⋮) beside a post and choose Report Post. Provide a brief reason — Cricstars moderators review every report.

Dashboard & Navigation

4
What is the Cricstars Dashboard?

Your dashboard is your personal control center. From here, you can view your teams, matches, stats, invites, and updates — all in one place.

What are "My Matches"?

"My Matches" lists all games you've scored or participated in. Verified matches appear with full stats; unverified matches remain visible only to participants.

What is "My Statistics"?

This section displays your personal cricket record — including batting, bowling, fielding stats, strike rate, and averages — across all verified Cricstars matches.

What can I do in "Find Players"?

You can search for other cricketers globally by name, location, or role (e.g., batsman, bowler). It's useful for captains scouting players or for forming new teams.

Profile & Settings

4
How do I edit my profile?

Go to your Profile → Edit button. You can update your bio, batting style, favorite team, or profile image. Remember to click Save before exiting.

What are "Achievements"?

Achievements display your milestones — like most runs, top wickets, or verified badges earned. They update automatically from your match stats.

How do I become a verified player?

Players can apply for verification by sharing match participation proof or ID. Once confirmed by Cricstars' moderators, a blue badge appears on your profile.

Can I change my username?

Yes, once every 30 days from Profile → Edit. Frequent name changes are disabled to prevent confusion.

Support & Troubleshooting

4
Can I reset my password?

Yes. On the login page, click Forgot Password, enter your email, and follow the reset instructions.

Can I use Cricstars on mobile and desktop?

Yes. Cricstars is web-based and works on both desktop and mobile browsers. An app version is in development.

Why is my profile showing "No Stats Yet"?

Your stats update after your first verified match. If you've already played but it still shows zero, check if the match is marked as verified.

How can I contact Cricstars support?

You can reach us anytime at support@cricstars.app or via the in-app Help section. Include your username, match ID (if relevant), and a short description of your issue. Our team typically responds within 24–48 hours.
