Regulatory Compliance Framework
CPL Games is a pure skill-based eCricket esports platform. All match outcomes are determined exclusively by players' cricket knowledge, strategic decision-making, shot selection, delivery choice, timing, and real-time execution. There are zero random number generators, zero chance-based mechanics, and zero wagering or betting of any kind.
CPL Games is actively pursuing recognition as an e-sport under the National Sports Governance Act, 2025 and registration with the Online Gaming Authority under PROGA 2025. The platform is designed to fully meet the statutory definition of e-sports: organised competitive events with outcomes determined solely by skill, permitted participation/registration fees for administrative costs, and performance-based incentives — without any bets, wagers, or other stakes.

Core Match Format
Every competitive match consists of exactly 2 overs (6 balls per over, total 12 balls). Each player bats one over and bowls one over. The player with the higher total runs wins. All outcomes are 100% skill-determined. Match results are permanently recorded on the opBNB blockchain for full transparency and verifiability.
Batting Rules
Face 6 balls in real time. For each ball, select one of the 9 shots. Success depends entirely on timing, shot selection, and reading the bowler's delivery. No RNG involved.
Available Shots
Fair Play: All 9 shots available to every player from match one, regardless of NFT tier.
Bowling Rules
Bowl 6 balls in real time. For each delivery choose a type, length, and target zone. Vary deliveries to restrict runs and take wickets.

Lengths (4)
