Official terms for the current DFPL season. Please read these rules before registering or participating.
The entry fee for the League is Nu. 1,500/- (Ngultrum One Thousand Five Hundred Only) per team. A single individual may register more than one team in the League. However, each team must be registered separately and a separate entry fee will apply for each team.
Managers must provide the correct manager name and team name exactly as shown in their official Fantasy Premier League (FPL) account. Registration will be considered complete only after the required registration details have been submitted and the applicable entry fee has been successfully paid and verified.
Registration must be completed before the registration deadline published by DFPL. Registrations submitted after the deadline will not be accepted unless the Organizers formally extend the registration period for all participants.
Once registration has been completed, entry fees are non-refundable, except where otherwise expressly provided under these Terms & Conditions.
A range of prizes will be awarded, including weekly, monthly, season, special performance, and consolation prizes. Details of the prizes and applicable amounts will be available in the Prize Scheme Table.
Point hits will not be separately deducted or recalculated by DFPL beyond the scoring reflected by the official FPL system. Monthly and season rankings will be based on the finalized rankings of the official FPL system, while weekly rankings will be determined solely based on the finalized FPL points scored in the relevant Gameweek, subject to the applicable tie rules set out below.
A Provisional Prize Scheme will be released while registration is ongoing. The provisional scheme is subject to change depending on the total number of successfully registered and paid teams and the resulting prize pool.
Once registration closes and the Final Prize Scheme is published, the Prize Scheme will be considered final and cannot be altered thereafter, except where expressly provided under the League Cancellation Contingency in these Terms & Conditions. Neither the Organizers nor any person associated with DFPL may otherwise alter the Final Prize Scheme after it has been published.
For weekly prizes, rankings will be determined solely based on the finalized FPL points scored by each manager in the relevant Gameweek.
In the event of a tie for a weekly prize position, the prize amounts for the tied position and the next prize-winning position(s), where available, shall be combined and equally divided among all managers involved in the tie. The number of prize positions included in the combined amount shall correspond to the number of tied managers, to the extent prize positions remain available.
For example, if two managers are tied for 1st place and the weekly prizes are Nu. 1,000 for 1st place and Nu. 500 for runner-up, the two prizes shall be combined and equally divided between the two managers, with each receiving Nu. 750.
If three or more managers are tied for 1st place and only the 1st-place and runner-up prizes are available, the total available prize amount of Nu. 1,500 shall be equally divided among all managers tied for 1st place.
If two or more managers are tied for the final prize-winning position, only the prize allocated to that position shall be equally divided among all managers tied for that position.
For monthly and season prizes, the finalized ranking provided by the official FPL system will be used wherever that ranking distinguishes between the relevant managers.
If two or more eligible teams remain tied for a DFPL prize position after applying the available official FPL ranking and applicable FPL tiebreaker rules, the prize amounts for the tied position and the next prize-winning position(s), where available, shall be combined and equally divided among all tied managers.
The number of prize positions included in the combined amount shall correspond to the number of tied managers, to the extent prize positions remain available.
For example, if two managers remain tied for 1st place, the 1st-place and 2nd-place prizes will be combined and divided equally between them, and the next eligible position will be 3rd place. If three managers remain tied for 1st place, the prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be combined and divided equally among the three managers.
If a tie occurs at the final prize-winning position, only the prize allocated to that position will be equally divided among all managers tied for that position. Where fewer prize positions remain than the number of tied managers, all remaining prize amounts from the tied position onward shall be combined and equally divided among the tied managers.
This rule applies at all levels of prize distribution.
Managers are responsible for ensuring that the FPL team and manager information submitted during registration is accurate.
If a manager experiences a genuine technical issue that prevents access to their registered FPL account, the Organizers may, at their discretion, permit a replacement team before the DFPL competition begins. If a replacement is approved, the original team will cease to be eligible for DFPL prizes.
Once the DFPL competition has begun, the registered FPL team may not be replaced with another FPL team.
Registered managers may request corrections to their contact details, spelling errors, or other non-competitive registration information during the season by notifying the Organizers. Any correction affecting the identity of the registered FPL team or manager must be reviewed and approved by the Organizers.
All managers must participate using genuine registration and payment information and must comply with the applicable rules of the official Fantasy Premier League.
The Organizers may investigate any registration, team, result, or prize claim where there is reasonable evidence of false information, fraudulent payment, impersonation, manipulation, or other conduct that materially compromises the fairness or integrity of DFPL.
Where a serious breach is established, the relevant team may be declared ineligible for DFPL prizes. Any such decision shall be based on available evidence and communicated to the affected manager.
If a team is declared ineligible for a prize, the applicable prize may be awarded to the next eligible manager according to the relevant DFPL ranking and prize rules.
DFPL results, points, and rankings will be based on finalized data made available by the official Fantasy Premier League system.
Where the official FPL system subsequently corrects or adjusts points or rankings before DFPL has finalized the corresponding prize result, DFPL may apply the corrected official data when determining the winner.
Once a DFPL prize result has been finalized and the prize has been paid, it will not ordinarily be recalculated because of a later change to FPL data, unless a correction is necessary to address a material scoring, calculation, or administrative error.
If the English Premier League or official Fantasy Premier League competition is temporarily suspended or postponed, DFPL will remain suspended until the competition resumes. A temporary suspension or postponement will not trigger the cancellation settlement.
If the season is permanently cancelled, abandoned, or officially terminated before Gameweek 19 has been completed, 35% of the remaining undistributed prize pool will be distributed among the managers occupying the applicable season prize positions based on the official FPL standings after the last completed and finalized Gameweek, using the season prize percentages in the Final Prize Scheme. The remaining 65% will be divided equally among all eligible registered teams.
If the season is permanently cancelled, abandoned, or officially terminated after Gameweek 19 has been completed, the official FPL standings after the last completed and finalized Gameweek will be treated as the final standings for DFPL, and the remaining season prizes will be distributed according to the Final Prize Scheme.
Any prizes already validly won and finalized before the cancellation or termination will remain unaffected and will not be included again when calculating the remaining undistributed prize pool.
For the purpose of this provision, only a Gameweek that has been officially completed and finalized by FPL will be considered. Any Gameweek that has commenced but has not been officially completed or finalized will not be used when determining the cancellation standings.
The Organizers are responsible for administering DFPL in accordance with these Terms & Conditions and the published Final Prize Scheme.
Any dispute or apparent error relating to registration, payment, scoring, rankings, eligibility, or prize calculations should be brought to the attention of the Organizers as soon as reasonably possible.
The Organizers will review the relevant registration records, payment records, official FPL data, and these Terms & Conditions before making a determination.
Administrative decisions must be applied consistently with these Terms & Conditions and must not be used to retrospectively alter the Final Prize Scheme for the benefit or disadvantage of any particular participant.
Where a situation arises that is not specifically addressed by these Terms & Conditions, the Organizers may make a reasonable administrative determination necessary for the operation of DFPL, provided that the decision is applied fairly and consistently and does not retrospectively alter the Final Prize Scheme.
