LineUp is a skill-based strategy game, not a game of chance. Every pick you make meets thousands of other fans' strategies on a live fan board, processed in milliseconds and valued fairly and transparently.
Every player has a live, two-sided fan board. Backers are fans picking a player up; faders are fans calling them down. The value you see is where the two meet.
When you tap Back, here's the path your pick takes, from tap to confirmed, in well under a tenth of a second.
You back or fade a player at the live value or at a target value you choose.
The engine ranks waiting picks by best value, then by who got there first.
Your pick pairs with the best available fans on the other side, instantly.
You get a confirmation and the player lands in your team.
Value–time priority: better values pair first; at the same value, the earlier pick wins. Same rules for everyone.
Dedicated game hosts keep every listed player open for backing and fading around the clock. That means busy boards, tight gaps and instant confirmations whenever you want them, even at 2 a.m. between innings.
On-field events feed a fair-value model. Fans react. The board refreshes. A new player value appears, in real time.
A six, wicket, milestone or economical over is registered live.
A fair-value model nudges the player's reference value by event weight.
Backers and faders update their picks around the new level.
The board settles on a fresh player value, visible to everyone.
You play against other fans' strategies, never against the house. The mid-value is the mid-value.
Better values confirm first; at the same value, whoever picked first wins. No queue-jumping.
The full fan board is on screen. You can see how fans are playing before you commit a single point.
Per-player value bands prevent runaway jumps and protect against accidental taps.
Every pick and confirmation is timestamped and logged, so the record can always be checked.
Your points sit in a secured account, separate from company accounts, settled at the end of each game format.
When a pick settles depends on the game format you chose. The engine handles it automatically, adding or deducting points the moment a game resolves.
Auto-settles within the over you played, ball by ball.
Settles at the final ball of the match you joined.
Resolves at the end of the Test or series window.

See the fan board, make your picks, watch them play out. Cricket, played the way strategy games are meant to be.
