Summary
This
tournament runs from August to March.
Points only
count from players on teams involved in Domestic League games during this time
period.
Domestic
League seasons that begin before the DLSC tournament start date and end during
or after the DLSC tournament end date will be the season that counts for the
DLSC tournament, not the Domestic League seasons beginning the following year.
Team Selection
Please see Basic Summary on how to select your team.
Notes
Standings
will be updated once a month.
Newcomers
may join the DL Championship at anytime after the 1st month during the season
without suffering a penalty however they will start off in Division 2.
Max of 32
teams or min of 8 teams is required for this league.
If there
are more than 32 participants who want to join they will be placed on a waiting
list until next season and they will take the place of whoever finishes in the
last few positions from the previous season.
The
participant who wins the DL Championship has the first pick on which Club they
want to represent followed by the 2nd place participant etc. from the previous
season.
New
participants will be last in line. Participants must pick a legitimate and
official club team that is able to qualify for a First Division place in the
team’s home country.
Any point
mistakes throughout the year will be corrected for the current month and the
previous month. Although the league is extremely honest and careful with stats
there is sometimes human error and it is up to the participant to review their
team’s stats monthly. If points were accidently deducted or added to your
total anytime during the year they will be deducted or added to the current
month and previous month. Human error is part of the game.
Transfers
You can
only make 1 GK move a month.
Participants
can make an unlimited amount of Transfers as long as they have the proper
funds.
Transfers
cannot be made while a player is in the middle of playing a game.
You must
maintain your 24 man squad (21 Players (Forwards, Midfielders or Defenders) and
3 Goalkeepers) after transfers are complete.
You are
responsible for picking the correct players in the correct leagues. If you pick
a player that is in the wrong league and he scores points they will not count
and you will not be able to collect points for that player or position until
you complete a transfer.
If a player
you selected moves to a different team within the same league or within another
league during the season and he scores points they will not count and you will
not be able to collect points for that player or position until you complete a
transfer.
Once you
make a transfer the new players points will count directly after the transfer.
You will not gain any points for any of the players previous points in previous
matches.
In a
situation where one makes a double player transfer by accident, the change will
be taken and no double points for the player. However, single points will be
given and not all taken away.
You can
change your transfers as long as the game the player is involved in has not
started yet.
The amount of points shown for each OUT player are the amount you will end with
for that player. The amount of points shown for each IN player are the amount
you will not receive because those are the points the player collected while
not on your team.

Relegation
At the very
beginning all participants will start in the Domestic League Division 1.
At the end
of the first month the bottom half will be relegated to the Domestic League
Division 2.
From there
the end of every month the bottom 2, 3 or 4 participants (depending on how many
participants there are) of DLD1 move down to DLD2 and that same number of
participants in the top of DLD2 move up to DLD1.
This will
make things very difficult for everyone because it’s possible to end the
season with the most points but you wont win Gold because your stuck in
Domestic League Division 2 do to a poor performance from previous months.
If 8 teams
then 1 from each group is relegated.
If 9 to 16
teams then 2 from each group are relegated.
If 17 to 24
teams then 3 from each group are relegated.
If 25 to 32
teams then 4 from each group are relegated.
Points will
not be reset to 0 after every month. You will keep adding and building on your
point total no matter what Division you are in.
