DRAFTMATES

For leagues & organizers

Your league’s own live cricket app

DraftMates · For Leagues

Fans follow international cricket on an app: live scores, full scorecards, stats, news. Your league deserves the same thing, built for you. DraftMates replaces the patchwork of a scoring app, an auction tool, a WhatsApp group, and a spreadsheet with a single app that is your league online.

1. Live Scorecards

Every match in your league, scored ball-by-ball and streamed live. Fans open a link and follow the action in real time, the same way they follow international cricket, except now it’s your tournament on the screen.

  • A live, public scorecard for every match: share a link, no install needed to watch.
  • A ball-by-ball scoring console for your scorer, on any phone or tablet.
  • Full cards: batting, bowling, extras, fall of wickets, partnerships, this-over.
  • Live match state: target, required run rate, overs and balls remaining.
  • All the cricket logic handled: wides, no-balls, free hits, byes, run-outs, retired hurt, strike rotation.
  • Multi-scorer handover: pass the console mid-match without losing a ball.

Built for the reality of local cricket. There is no official data feed for your matches: every ball is captured by hand, and grounds rarely have signal. DraftMates is offline-first: your scorer records every delivery with zero connectivity, and it all syncs the moment signal returns. Nothing is lost.

2. Stats, Standings & Profiles

The whole season, quantified and always current. Every run, wicket, and result rolls up automatically from the live scoring: no spreadsheets, no manual tallying, no arguments about whose numbers are right.

  • A live points table: wins, losses, net run rate, points.
  • Batting and bowling leaderboards: runs, strike rate, wickets, economy, best figures.
  • A profile page for every player: season record, form, match-by-match history.
  • Records, milestones, and multi-season history that compounds as your league grows.

3. News Feed

A feed that makes your league feel like a league, the story of your season told in one branded place, instead of WhatsApp forwards that disappear up the chat by the weekend.

  • Match reports, results, fixtures, and the full schedule.
  • Player features, photos, highlights, and video.
  • Announcements pinned to the top when they matter, all branded as your league.

4. Auction Data

Your auction is where the season’s strategy begins, and it’s a story worth telling. DraftMates turns it into insight automatically: squad spends and budgets, value-for-money analysis, ranked bargains and overspends, the most expensive XI, and team-balance breakdowns.

Or run the auction with us. DraftMates ships a full live auction engine: real-time multi-team bidding, budget and cap rules, an admin console with undo and pause, an unsold pool, and injury replacements. Already have an auction tool you like? Keep it: send us the results and we do the rest.

Also available

Optional layers you can switch on whenever you want, turning the people watching your league into people playing along with it.

Fantasy over your own players

Fans and members draft a team from your league’s real players, scored live from the same ball-by-ball feed that powers your scorecards. People end up watching every match their picks are in, even the ones their own team isn’t playing.

Prediction & viewer games

Predict the toss, the winner, the XI; over-by-over and next-wicket calls in play; player of the match after. Leaderboards, streaks, and badges keep people coming back. Free to play, and sponsorable by a local brand.

Why DraftMates

  • Purpose-built for leagues with no data feed. The hard problem (capturing live, ball-by-ball cricket offline with no official API) is solved. Generic scoring apps treat that as an afterthought; for us it’s the foundation.
  • One branded app, not a pile of tools. Scorecards, stats, news, and auction in one place under your league’s name, instead of five disconnected services and a spreadsheet.
  • The live-data advantage. Because the scoring feed is ours, everything downstream (scorecards, instant stats, fantasy, in-play games) is native and immediate.
  • Everything stays yours. Your league, your players, your data, your branding. We run the platform; you own the league.
  • A real platform, running today. DraftMates runs live cricket scoring, analytics, and auctions in production, built by people who run real cricket leagues, not a concept on a slide.
