Tied Match, Super Over & Dead Heat Settlement Rules

Clear, Auditable Match Settlement Protocols

Cricket is renowned for complex boundary conditions: matches tied in the 20th over, Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) rain calculations, and dual tournament top run-scorers. On Lotus365, every settlement protocol is established in advance, following internationally certified exchange standards to eliminate ambiguity.

We believe in total transparency. Whether a high-stakes IPL final enters a dramatic Super Over or an international ODI is halted by torrential monsoon showers, our automated settlement algorithms apply verifiable guidelines backed by official match referee reports.

Dead Heat Calculation Formula

A Dead Heat occurs when two or more participants finish in an exact tie for a position (e.g. two batsmen both finishing the tournament on exactly 650 runs). In such scenarios, your original stake is divided equally by the total number of tied winners, and full market odds are paid on that divided stake.

Dead Heat Settlement Rules & Super Over Adjudication Standards

Match settlements during tied fixtures follow clear, standardized exchange regulations. In limited-overs cricket (T20 and ODI formats), if match odds markets explicitly state "Match Winner (Incl. Super Over)", bets remain active through the Super Over until a definitive champion is determined. If a market specifies regular match result without extra-over stipulations, Dead Heat settlement rules apply.

Under Dead Heat calculations, your total stake is divided proportionally by the number of tied competitors, and standard odds are applied to the reduced stake. In Test cricket, a tie (all four innings completed with identical scores) is handled separately from a draw. Lotus365 guarantees transparent, rule-grounded settlements governed by official match referee scorecards.

Always verify whether the market rules include or exclude Super Over outcomes prior to staking on high-stakes knockout games. Understanding Dead Heat calculations ensures accurate risk assessment and prevents unexpected settlement surprises on tied finishes.
