Prepare the match. Confirm the entry elsewhere.

Use the selected platform’s current fixture, scoring rules, roster limits, credit budget, captain/vice-captain multipliers and team lock time. Record the time zone: an IST deadline can differ from the device display. Obtain the announced playing XI from an identified current match source rather than a cached prediction.

The toss-time scenario explains the decision when the XI is not yet announced. Identify Dream11 or the intended provider before assuming that another platform’s rules apply.

1. Confirm match, competition and start time. Record the platform’s team-change deadline separately from the match start.
2. Mark each player confirmed, unconfirmed or unavailable using the current announcement. Do not convert an expectation into a confirmed starter.
3. Apply the actual roster and credit constraints. Recalculate after every player replacement.
4. Compare captain choices by documented role and the chosen platform’s current multipliers. This is a decision under uncertainty, not a promised score.
5. Recheck the XI, budget, rules and deadline immediately before using the worksheet on that provider.
6. If you choose to enter an available eligible contest, confirm the entry and saved lineup inside that provider. Keep its confirmation as the separate completion evidence.

Prepared: the worksheet reflects the announced inputs and passes the provider’s current constraints. Submitted: the actual provider confirms the entry. A screenshot of a draft, an installed Game APK or a reading guide is not that confirmation.

If the fixture is missing or the deadline has passed, retain the exact state and follow the provider’s rules. Do not switch APKs to bypass access or infer that another account shares the same team. The Come guide distinguishes information packages; Come APK covers file decisions.
