4. Registration
Registration for Kirtimaan 2027 is free of charge. No fee is payable to register, to be ranked or to be considered for awards. Registration is mandatory: only registered Participants are ranked (section 7).
Register by completing the registration form linked from the Organiser’s website. Registration closes on 30 April 2027. Your registration is complete only when the Organiser has confirmed it. You will then receive a welcome email with your CCEA ID, normally within 48 hours.
The Organiser does not ask for any payment to register. Any request for payment made in the name of Kirtimaan is not from the Organiser and should be reported to support@1873eventments.com.
Participants who registered and paid a fee between 10 October 2026 and 5 November 2026 remain registered with their existing CCEA ID. Their fee is refunded under section 5.
5. Fees paid before 6 November 2026
Registration became free on 6 November 2026. The Organiser will refund in full every registration fee paid before that date, whether or not the Participant continues in the Season. The refund does not affect the Participant’s registration, CCEA ID or rankings.
The refund process:
The Organiser will contact each Participant concerned to initiate the refund.
The refund will be made to the UPI ID from which the original payment was received. If that is not possible, the Participant must provide alternative UPI details, which the Organiser will verify against the original payment record before proceeding.
The Organiser will share the transaction reference (UTR) of the refund with the Participant. The Participant must confirm receipt in writing (by WhatsApp or email) within seven (7) days of the transfer. If the Participant does not report non-receipt within that period, the refund shall be deemed to have been received.
If a refund transfer fails, the Organiser will make a second attempt after obtaining fresh UPI details from the Participant. Any refund that still cannot be made shall remain payable to the Participant on request.
Duplicate or excess payments caused by a technical or processing error will be corrected by the Organiser.
6. CCEA ID
Each Participant gets one CCEA ID, which is personal and non-transferable. It is shared only with you, via the welcome email, and is never published. One person may not hold more than one registration. The CCEA ID is used to identify you in rankings, communications and prize payments.
7. Eligible tournaments and performance data
Only performances in tournaments meeting all of these conditions count:
T20 format, conducted within Pune and PCMC
Matches played on Saturdays and/or Sundays only
Matches played within the Season (1 October 2026 to 30 June 2027). Matches played after 30 June 2027 will not be considered, whatever the stage of the tournament (league or knockout)
For clarity, a tournament played in any format other than T20 (20 overs per side), such as 22 or 25 overs per side, is not an Eligible Tournament, even if it is a corporate or mixed-corporate tournament played on weekends. Performances of registered Participants in such a tournament will not be counted. Matches played on a weekday (Monday to Friday) are also not considered, even in an otherwise eligible T20 tournament.
Performance data is taken from match scorecards published publicly on CricHeroes or supplied by tournament organisers. Super Over performances are excluded from individual scoring.
Only registered Participants are ranked. Once a Participant registers, all eligible performances from matches played on or after 1 October 2026 (the season start date) will be counted towards their rankings, regardless of the date of registration, provided registration is completed within the Registration Window (on or before 30 April 2027). Matches played before 1 October 2026 will not be considered.
8. Rankings and scoring
Rankings are calculated by the Organiser using its proprietary points methodology. The Organiser may correct data-entry or scorecard errors at any time and may refine the methodology during the Season with notice to Participants; any refinement will apply uniformly to all Participants and will be published before it takes effect. Rankings published during the Season are provisional until the final list is announced.
A jury appointed by the Organiser shall review the processes and systems used to compute rankings and ensure that fairness is maintained. Nominations and awards shall be finalised only after the jury’s approval. The decision of the jury on nominations and awards shall be final, save for manifest error.
9. Awards and prizes
The Season Jewels, Batting Specialist, Bowling Specialist and Fielding Specialist awards are presented separately in each of the Udaan, Shikhar and Anubhav categories.
The Veterans awards are presented within the Varishta category.
The Leadership awards (Captain of the Year, Team of the Year) and Ecosystem awards (Tournament of the Year, Ground of the Year) are single awards open to all ages.
Each award has its own eligibility criteria, published by the Organiser.
Prizes may be in cash and/or kind. Prizes in kind cannot be exchanged for cash and are non-transferable.
Cash prizes are paid subject to tax deduction at source where required under Indian income-tax law. Where the value of a single prize, in cash or kind, exceeds ₹10,000, tax will be deducted at source at the rate applicable to winnings (currently 30%) under section 393 of the Income-tax Act, 2025. For a prize in kind, or where the cash component is insufficient, the winner must pay the tax amount to the Organiser before the prize is released. Before release of any prize, the winner must provide a copy of their PAN card, bank or UPI details in their own name, and a signed prize acceptance receipt. A certificate of tax deducted will be issued as required by law.
Minimum participation. An age category shall be conducted only if it has at least ten (10) registered Participants in the case of Udaan, Shikhar and Anubhav, and at least five (5) registered Participants in the case of Varishta. The registered Participants of an age category shall be eligible for all awards applicable to that category. Captain of the Year shall be awarded only if at least ten (10) Participants meet its eligibility criteria. Age categories shall not be merged under any circumstances.
If an age category does not reach the minimum number by the close of registration, the Organiser may extend the registration window for that category once. If the minimum is still not reached, the category shall not be conducted and no awards shall be presented in that category.
The Organiser may withhold any season-wide award (Captain, Team, Tournament or Ground of the Year) if too few eligible Participants, teams, tournaments or grounds qualify for it.
10. Objections
(a) Objection by a Participant. Any registered Participant may raise an objection against the eligibility or performance record of another Participant by writing to support@1873eventments.com, stating the grounds and enclosing any supporting material.
(b) Objection by the Organiser. The Organiser may, on its own motion and at any time before the Awards Night, raise an objection against the eligibility or performance record of any Participant. No fee shall apply to such objections. The Participant concerned shall be required to establish their eligibility within the same period and in the same manner as applies to objections raised under clause (a).
(c) Timelines and consequences. Objections may be raised up to seven (7) days before the Awards Night. The Participant objected to shall provide proof of eligibility within seventy-two (72) hours of being notified, failing which they shall be removed from rankings and awards. False or frivolous objections may themselves lead to disqualification of the Participant raising them. Objections shall be decided by the Organiser in consultation with the jury after considering the Participant’s response, and the decision, with brief reasons, shall be communicated to both parties.
11. Conduct
Participants must not falsify scorecards, misreport performances, manipulate data or misrepresent their identity or eligibility. Participants must behave respectfully at all Kirtimaan events. Breach of this section may lead to disqualification.
12. Publicity and use of name and image
By registering, you permit the Organiser to publish your name, team, age category, statistics, rankings, awards and event photographs and video on its website, social media, event materials and in the media, without payment. The Organiser will not share your personal data with, or permit the use of your name or image in the advertising of, any sponsor or partner. Kirtimaan event materials carrying sponsor branding are not sponsor advertising for this purpose.
13. Awards Night
The date and venue will be announced by the Organiser. Entry is restricted to registered Participants and invited guests. The Organiser may change the date, venue or format. Any postponement will be announced at least fourteen (14) days in advance. No compensation is payable on account of a change of date, venue or format.
14. Independence from tournaments and other bodies
Kirtimaan is an independent recognition event. It is not affiliated with BCCI, the Maharashtra Cricket Association, CricHeroes or any tournament organiser, unless stated. The Organiser does not conduct matches and is not responsible for match conduct, results, disputes or injuries in any tournament.
15. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, the Organiser’s total liability to a Participant is limited to paying any prize awarded to that Participant under section 9 and any refund due under section 5. The Organiser is not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud or wilful misconduct.
16. Changes, cancellation and force majeure
The Organiser may amend these Terms, with changes notified to Participants. No amendment shall apply retrospectively to reduce a Participant’s accrued rankings, or impose any fee on a Participant who has already registered. The Organiser is not liable for delay or cancellation caused by events beyond its reasonable control, such as natural disasters, epidemics, government orders or venue unavailability.
17. Intellectual property
The Kirtimaan name and logo, the CCEA ID system and the scoring methodology belong to the Organiser and may not be used without written permission.
18. Communications
By registering, you agree to receive messages about Kirtimaan by WhatsApp, email and phone. You may opt out of non-essential messages at any time.
19. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. The parties will first try to resolve any dispute amicably through the Organiser’s grievance contact. Failing that, the courts at Pune, Maharashtra have exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing in this section affects any remedy available to a Participant under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
