Dynamic array of structs with dynamic array members in C

Question

struct players playerList[1];
int main(){
    createPlayers(playerList);
    printf("%d", playerList[0].scores[2]);
}

struct players {
    char firstName[20];
    char lastName[20];
    char country[20];
    int scores[1];
    char *cards[1];
};

void createPlayers(struct players currentPlayers[]){
    int numPlayers;
    int numRounds;

    //Get input
    printf("How many players are there? ");
    scanf("%d", &numPlayers);
    printf("How many rounds are there? ");
    scanf("%d", &numRounds);

    //Allocate array of structures
    int* ptr1 = (int*)&currentPlayers;
    ptr1 = ( struct players * ) malloc ( sizeof ( struct players ) * numPlayers);

    //Allocate scores int array
    int* ptr2 = (int *)&currentPlayers[0].scores;
    ptr2 = malloc(numRounds * sizeof(int));

    //Allocate cards string array (array of pointers to char array)
    int* ptr3 = (int*)&currentPlayers[0].cards;
    ptr3 = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int) * numPlayers);
    for( int i = 0; i < numPlayers; i++ )
        currentPlayers[0].cards[i] = malloc( 3 * sizeof *currentPlayers[0].cards[i] );

    //Set scores[2] to 12
    currentPlayers[0].scores[2] = 12;
}

So I've had a lot of problems trying to get this to work. When I print playerList[0].scores[2] it prints 1886220131. I can print playerList[0].scores[0]/scores[1] just fine, but I can't seem to set anything past the second index. Do I need to allocate the original array of structs with the size of the dynamic arrays within the struct in mind? I'm new to C, but everything I try to do with the malloc seems to fail. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I couldn't compile the code successfully, then I modify (struct players *) to (int *), it runs ok.
