DPFL Online League Rules & Guidelines

The DPFL Online League operates under the following rules to ensure fair competition, timely match play, and smooth league operations:
 

Match Schedule
Each league week runs from Sunday night through the following Sunday. Matches must be completed within this timeframe, unless a division admin has been notified in advance of extenuating circumstances. One week of play will be available at the end of the round robin for make up matches. 

Match Announcements
Weekly matchups are posted by admins in the Division Channel and are also available on the DartConnect website and app using your assigned board number.

Match Play Restrictions
Players are only permitted to play matches scheduled for the current week. Playing matches in advance is not allowed unless approved by DPFL.

Scheduling Matches
Players are expected to arrange their matches promptly once weekly matchups are released on Sundays. All communication should take place through discord in the designated group channel.

Unresponsive Opponents
If you are unable to contact your opponent or receive no response, notify your division admin immediately. Failure of an opponent to respond or play may result in a forfeit win being awarded.

Rescheduling Policy
If a scheduled match needs to be changed, players must notify their opponent as early as possible. Matches cannot be rescheduled within one hour of the agreed start time with out valid reasoning and admin approval.

Late Arrivals
Players who are more than 30 minutes late without prior communication with their opponent, and division admin, will forfeit the match.
