I have few questions and suggestions.

1. Do we need to send predictions for all categories before the toss? ---- Yes, you have to send all predictions before the toss.
2. It would be helpful if we are allowed to send toss prediction by 2:55 PM IST for afternoon matches and 6:55 PM IST for night matches and for all other predictions by 3:25 PM IST for afternoon matches and 7:25PM IST for night matches on the match day.---- The toss usually takes place 30 minutes before the match starts. And the majority of games depend on making the right choice after winning the toss. In a sense, the choice and toss will determine how the game will turn out. So, before the toss, all predictions should be sent.
3. Correct me if I am wrong for the following assumption. We pick a team for Toss and Winner prediction and pick a player for best bowling figure, best batting figure and PoTM predictions.--- Yes, you are right. Toss-- 10 points >> Winning team-- 10 points >> Total score ( total of A+B, both teams' total)--25 points >> Total Extras -- 15 points >> Victory Margin--15 points >> Best Bowler--50 points >> Best Batter-- 50 points >> Man of the Match--75 points.
4. The other categories where there is a range involved, do we also get a range of points or do we get points only if we predict the correct range and get zero if we pick any other range?-- Correct selection of the range will fetch you the mentioned points, and if you select a wrong range, there won't be any points.
5. For example if total extras scored in a match are 18 and let us say we predicted 11 - 15 or 21 - 25. Will we get any points at all are do we have to settle for a zero?--Yes, the wrong choice will get you zero and right range will give you points. You won't get any points if you choose 11-15, or 21--25, if extras will be 18, you'll get points if you choose 16-20 points range.

Cheers..

1. The Toss entry will be closed 30 minutes before the match starts. Rest of the categories user can be submitted or updated till the time the match starts. For example, if the match starts at 7:30PM IST. User can update it by that time only. This is done cause we do not know the final 11 for the match until the Toss and one can easily update their prediction just before the match starts.
   
   
2. Explained above. Deadline is the match Start Time. Just the toss needs to be submitted/updated 30 minutes before the match starts.
   
   
3. Yes it's very simple. Just pick the team / player from the drop down list and submit. No need to type even 😊
   
   
4. Yeah since its range we have kept it all or nothing. If you see the ranges it's designed based on the averages of IPL matches.
   
   
5. No points if you do not fall in the range. As that keeps things simple and easy.

Members do not have to wait for the match to start to submit. They can send in their predictions upto 3 days in advance.

We will have an Overall Leaderboard and Match Leaderboard. So that all participants can see who is leading the Prediction game. Users can even see detailed view for points per matches and in which category. In my first testing it is looking very interesting and fun.

I like it that we can change our ans till 9:59am EST for evening games, except the toss offcourse. Also, good that we can do the prediction in advance, this will be helpful for me for those double headers, i wont have to wake up early to send prediction phew.

Also this will make life easier for Raji and Madhu di, automatic scores n no keeping tracks of pms hehe

Thank you for the new format, Vijay . It looks more fun and exciting. 😍

What about most sixes, like last 2 seasons?

Also, at which point can we predict the Champions, top 4 teams, Orange Cap winner and Purple Cap winner? Will all these categories be included?

I love the new format btw, thank you Vijay sir and team.

However I am keeping this suggestion of yours open and we may include later.

For the moment let's start small and expand later.

Idea is to keep the things simple and we do not want to overwhelm the participants with too many prediction questions.
